Please - vote NO to the Paulson/Bernankee bailout that will redistribute hundreds of billions, if not trillions, of dollars out of the hands of honest Americans and grant the federal government massive new powers to control and manipulate markets.

A Rasmussen Poll puts the support for the bailout at 7%! For any legislator to vote yes on this plan is to spit in the face of his constituents and reveal his utter contempt for the democratic process and the voice of the people. To do so would require him to utterly disavow the Constitution that he swore by oath to uphold.

It can be tolerated no more.

America became the greatest, most prosperous nation in history through low taxes, constitutionally-limited government, personal freedom, and a belief in sound money. The way out of this current financial crisis is to return to those timeless principles:
1.) End the Bailouts - The Federal Reserve’s authority to use taxpayer money to bail out Wall Street must be revoked and the Fed must be held accountable.
2.) Stop Congress’ Reckless Spending - We must freeze all non-entitlement spending by the federal government at current levels and eliminate wasteful spending both domestically and in our trillion-dollar overseas budget.
3.) Cut Taxes - If Wall Street can be given our tax dollars, shouldn’t we get some back? It’s time to cut taxes and return our money to us. Combined with spending reform, this will increase the purchasing power of our dollars and help lessen the economic storm.
4.) Reform the Monetary System - If we are to have long-term economic progress, we must end the system of printing money out of thin air. The current laws limiting the circulation of gold and silver-backed currency must be overturned.

Thank you,
