Letters to the Senators

To Senator Bob Casey(D):
Senator Casey please do not choose your party over your country. You are a public servant and as such it is your constitutional obligation to defend the Constitution, not to destroy it.

Where in the Constitution does it validate the enormous burden that you are about to place upon the shoulders of my children and grandchildren?

I implore you to vote no on the stimulus bill and then sit down with your colleagues, Democrat and Republican, and craft a bill that is more focused in it's scope.

It should remove Mark to Market accounting rules.

If you want people to open their pockets and invest, cut capital gains taxes, wage taxes, and corporate taxes.

Why not try these solutions before jumping the gun and doing something so incredibly drastic and intrusive as the stimulus in its current form obviously is.

I implore you Mr. Casey; VOTE NO.

To Senator Arlen Specter(R):
Senator Specter I do not know what to say to you at this point. You obviously have nothing but disdain for your constituants. You may have had power over us through your government career for many many years, but one would think that your health problems, horrible as they must have been, would have humbled you and reminded you that you are only human just like the rest of us.

You are a public servant; a very noble career choice. As such it is your constitutional obligation to defend the Constitution, not to destroy it.

Where in the Constitution does it validate the enormous burden that you are about to place upon the shoulders of my children and grandchildren?

I implore you to vote no on the stimulus bill and then sit down with your colleagues, Democrat and Republican, and craft a bill that is more focused in it's scope.

It should remove Mark to Market accounting rules first and foremost.

If you want people to open their pockets and invest, cut capital gains taxes, wage taxes, and corporate taxes.

Why not try these solutions before jumping the gun and doing something so incredibly drastic and intrusive as the stimulus in its current form obviously is.
In fact, after the 2 ideas listed above, please encourage President Obama, your Congressional colleagues, and the Fed to put a moratorium on government action regarding the economy for at least 6 months, and put out a public statement to that effect.

Give the free market a chance. You and I both know that the system is bottled up with anxiety wondering what the government is going to do next. With the moratorium, you can relieve that anxiety and allow things to start moving again.
I am not an economist, but I do pay attention.
I implore you Mr. Specter; VOTE NO.

"G-d I hope I don't get audited because of these."
