Here’s a lesson of history, Our 26th president which for those that don’t know who he was (Theodore Roosevelt) which was a republican that also lead our country into our first depression. Again history is repeating itself with the past eight years of republicans leading our country into another resession/depression. When you go to vote ask yourself are you willing to take a chance on the well being of your family and this country under the hands of another republican. So people think hard and clear of your future desision on your accountable vote.

To Whom It May Concern: (We The People) the middle class, I strongly believe that this whole political plan should have been revised more towards our future, our kids and grandkids future, Why should we bail out the banks and walstreet and etc, where are they when some of our responsible tax payers are in the middle of losing their homes because our greedy bankers won’t work out something with you especially when your trying to make good on your IOU. And what God given right do we have to say which is the better man or woman to run our country, we estabished knowledge as we grow same for Obama and Mcain, or is that our society is still bend set on being prejudice. As far as either man they are in a rude awakening when they finally become president. But the main goal is to get back our country the land of the free and of course FREEDOM OF SPEECH. I am a proud American and without God we are screwed one way or the other. Obama may be green in some areas but Mcain is out for hidden revenge due to his suffering of being a soldier, knowing the consequences that attain his position of serving his country. With our technology that we have the satallites we have in position to be able to view everything that goes on this world they know exactly where bin laden is why have’nt they taken him down, because Bush has so many connections with his money involved with bin laden just as his father did when he serve our country as president, its time for a change, but nomore Bush, Mcain saga.

This “rescue plan” is the most serious attack on Americans and the Constitutuion, but it doesn’t come from foreign enemies nor terrorists, it comes from the White House and Capitol Hill. The impact will be felt for long times to come, if ever overcome. The real enemy of America is not from abroad, but from within. We seem to have no other choice than to vote for cholera or pestilence – which one is better?

My thanks go out to all the Senators and Represenatives who voted nay on the bill, to those that changed their vote to yes because of the added pork, you have let the American people down, as have all who voted yes on this bill. I do beleive that some sort of financial aid bill was needed but not with out more planing. All the canidates running for President and Vice President have lost my support. I hope that all voters across our country will remember those that voted yes on this bill and Not re-elect them when the time comes. My “Thanks” to Representative Lucas and Senator Inhofe for voting the voice of the majority of Americans and pressing for a better financial bailout bill.

Time to boot the idiots out. Reading the comments show the DC circle is completely out of touch with the rest of the country. I’d like to see a grand jury investigation. Just to see where Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Paulson, Barak Obama and the others involved in this bullcrap.

Of course I will vote against my representative and senators.

I don’t support this plan, but think that it will go through no matter what the majority of the American people desire. But I would like to make a request that should be included in the plan. I think that the American People should get a detailed spreadsheet of some sort – showing where this $700 Billion bailout figure came about, with details on who is getting how much. We should see, as we are the people, and it should be clear to us. We elected each of you no matter what party you represent it is the USA’s money. You know those hard working people who now will have to postpone theire retirements. That is very unfair as their are individuals who will buy themselves out of jail or out of accountability in taking part in this mess.
I will take part in making sure that we hold everyone accountable for their part and we expect you to do the same.
Will this be swept under the table after the bill is past or will you stand up and make sure that we communicate the spending of this $700B to the public and will you reassure that each person involved will be prosecuted and their profits be taken to reimburse the $700B?
The people deserve more than a blanket statement from our government, we deserve and demand a breakdown.

The market can solve this on its own with a little more time. If these mortgage backed securities are worth something, then let the free market sort it out. If folks took crazy risks in a greedy way betting that the housing market would continue to go up faster than normal, whether large banks or individuals, then they must pay the price for that risk taking they undertook. It’s ridiculous to say credit will freeze all over if the Government does not buy all this stuff. There are still millions and millions of credit worthy Americans that can get a loan now and in the future, because there is profit to be made lending to them. That is not going to stop. It may be true that it will be more difficult for less credit worthy Americans to get loans…but that is natural and we must get back to that at some point. That our laws have pressured lenders to make loans to these risky borrowers for decades now has warped the system and we have to get back to letting the lenders decide on their own who they’ll lend to based soley on the credit/business risk of that decision. Why drag it out and obliterate the lesson to be learned. I can assure you there are still many companies making money and therefore the stock market will not crash for an extended period.
