Americans - Stop Pelosi, Frank, Dodd & Reid
Posted by Annie on Wednesday,

Thanks to Lou Dobbs, you’re only a mouse click away from finding out the truth about the “Bail Out.” Don’t become complacent, throw up your arms and walk away, because the next time the Democrats play around with our money – we may well go into a “Depression.”

Could all of these men and women be wrong about the bail out plan? They know that at this very minute Pelosi, Frank, Dodd and Reid are preparing special bills to continue with the bail out. Funny thing is, they don’t even bother to ask the American people – they cockily go about their merry business covering up their previous tracks that caused this recession.

Americans need to contact their federal representatives and insist on seeing any bill drawn up by Pelosi and crew before it is passed. All of these economists sent a letter to Washington noting 3 major concerns about the bailout: (1) The fairness, (2) The ambiguity, and (3) This one is terrifying – Long term effects.

America, this is your country, your dollars and your future welfare we’re talking about – have any of you read the letter written by these professional men and women? If not go to loudobbs.tv.cnn.com then surf to the right until you reach “Bailout” and click on the letter.

This is the Obama philosophy – remember “Spread the Wealth, but First Cover Your Butt.” Get on you computer, phone or go to Washington and stop America’s bleeding – band aids are no longer in style.

The list below are economists who place country first – why not let them form a group to represent us at the White House. Put a freeze on the “Bail Out” until people who are qualified to make these economic decisions are in place. Please, don’t let America goe through round 2 and than round 3 with Pelosi, Frank, Dodd and Reid.

If nothing else, email Lou and have him help us – he’s an honest man and very, very knowledgeable. As Always, Annie
