Dear Sirs,

This is my first letter to Congess, since I have always believed in my heart that we, as Americans in the greatest country in the world, could always rely on our elected officials to do the right thing.

I sit here sick at heart at the truths that have come to pass and the reality that you and your brethren care nothing for the American working class, but instead will now give our hard earned tax dollars to the same thieves who have brought our current calamity down on us with your blessing. I say your blessing because who were the wayward stewards who let these companies merge into the giant behemoths whose fall has shaken our economic foundation? How much pact money and contributions greased the wheels for favorable legislation that allowed this nightmare to happen?
 

I have heard Senators come on television and attempt to spin this into a positive and it truly insults my intelligence. I hear talk of "limited executive" compensation when we both know those rapists will take our money, declare bankruptcy, and spit on the working class Americans, simply because they can. They'll also find special loopholes for "incentive bonuses" that your assemblage will accidently leave open. They can because they OWN you
and your kind.

I was pleasantly surprised when I heard John McCain admit about our government breaking their pact with the voters, but I am even more flabbergasted that you guys can live with yourselves for further kicking us for some better contributions from Wall Street for next election.

Watching my 401K balance drop 43% since last November due to the mortgage crisis and banking failures, are mainly to blame on your lack of regulation and checks and balances that you were elected to protect. A nearly 800 point drop on Wall Street today only reinforces how much the partisan buffoonery has continued kick the good citizens in the teeth one way or another. As far as I'm concerned, everyone of you needs to be looking for another job come re-election time, as the people won't soon forget this herculean debacle.

As I sincerely doubt that this "rant" ever comes to your attention, I will not bother to write you any longer as you, like all people who break faith, are not worthy of a regular voter's regard!
