Dear Senator,

I have no illusion and will not be surprised when you vote for the new scam President Obama is pushing on us. He is using fear to further increase the power and scope of the Federal Government (as Mr. Emmanuel said, "Never let a serious crisis go to waste.") Nevertheless, I want you to know that I am against the bailouts. Can you explain to me the moral and constitutional justification for doing this? Can you explain where the money will come from? There are only three sources: inflate the currency, borrow the money, or increase taxes. Can you explain how it is moral to inflate the currency, thus taxing the poorest of our citizens and robbing the people of their savings? Can you explain how is it moral to borrow more money, thus putting our children, our grandchildren, and us further in debt? Can you explain how is it moral to increase the tax burden on a nation that is already suffering, robbing the people of what little the government already allows them to keep in order to bailout incompetent corporations? You swore to uphold and defend the Constitution. How is this bailout constitutional? It is not. It is immoral and unconstitutional. Let's be honest, shall we? We are no longer a constitutional republic under the rule of law; we are a democracy under the rule of the mob. The Constitution is dead. Every vote for a bailout, every unconstitutional act of Congress, the President, and Judiciary shows the contempt the three branches have for the Constitution, making a mockery of it and your oath of office to uphold it.

Wow, good letter

Nice Letter. I took a different approach, using Thomas Jefferson as my argument. You can check out my posting with the Letter to my senators. I tried to appeal to the notion, that we are a republic, we want to defend our republic of the United States, but we need to take care of ourselves in our individual states. Phone lines were down, so I printed and faxed the letter.

Great letter David. There seems to be a great deal of back and forth on this "Stimulus" in the Senate, and maybe I am naive, but I am hoping that they are receiving a great deal of letters such as yours and they are getting a bit nervous... I sent my letter yesterday, and I will call today.

I am amazed at how short you were able to make your letter! All of my recent letters to my congressmen and senators have been coming out 2 pages at minimum. I cannot remember the last time I wrote my congressman/senators a letter that did not include brief description of article 1 section 8. Your shorter letter may be more effective. But, I live in IL-4, so I guess it probably doesn't matter.
