Feinstein had 85,000 out of 91,000
who emailed/called that were against it.
She voted for it.
Oh wait... calm down... hmm...
Senator Feinstein,
I had contacted you urging you to vote against the bail out of Wall St.
Now I have heard that 85,000 out of 91,000 who emailed/called you were also against it.
Look, everybody is in debt. Creating more money from nothing and throwing it at Wall St, then putting the tax payers on the hook is extortion. You have sold out our country. We could have let prices fall, the investors would have lost money, and the consumers would be able to better afford housing and food again. Instead you decided to take the same course we have been taking for years that got us into this mess in the first place. Now housing prices will remain high, our dollar will weaken significantly and our economy is going to be much worse off for it in the long-run.
Before today, I was alright with having progressive Senators in my state because I believe in Democracy and that is what the people of California have chosen. But now I will do everything in my power to make sure you are voted out of office next election. Me and at least 85,000 others are extremely upset and we are going to make sure that everybody who voted for the bailout loses the next election.
I know you were threatened by the establishment, representative Sherman (R-CA) has come out and spoken about the threats of a market plummet and Martial Law. It's time to come around and start fighting the establishment, or else your time representing California will be drawing to a close soon.
Good Day,
