Plea to congress - No Bailout!

I wrote my three congressmen today, asking them to oppose any further government bailouts. If you live in district 5 of Maryland, here are the links to email our senators and representative:
Senator Benjamin Cardin - http://cardin.senate.gov/contact/email.cfm
Senator Barbara Mikulski - http://mikulski.senate.gov/Contact/contact.cfm
Representative Steny Hoyer - http://hoyer.house.gov/contact/email.asp

Subject: Wall Street Bailout - please oppose

Body:

Dear Mr. Cardin,
Dear Mrs. Mikulski,
Dear Mr. Hoyer,

As one of your constituents, I am urging you to strongly oppose any form of a bailout for Wall Street. It is fundamentally wrong and contrary to our individual liberties as established in our national constitution that you swore an oath to uphold and defend. Please have integrity and do the right thing.

Remember that the correct choice is not always the easiest. Sometimes trials and tribulation must be endured for growth of the individual or organization to occur and robustness to set in. The hard lessons that can only be learned through the realization and suffering of consequences resulting from poor judgment and decisions are integral for true correction to ensue. Without it, progress is denied.

The corruption and plethora of poor judgment that abounds in the government of our nation is of utmost disgust. I remain, as I always have been, proud to be an American and long for the day that I may say that I am also proud of my government and sure that my God given rights to liberty and unimpeded pursuit of happiness is being protected and defended in good faith.

I thank you for taking the time to read my plea and consider what I have asked. I only ask that you do what you have pledged to do. It's really a no-brainier.

You will surely gain my respect and appreciation, should you choose the right. As well, you will further my disdain for you, if you fail.

May God bless you.

Sincerely,
Hyrum Shewell


I urge you to draft a similar plea to all of your public servants who represent you in our national government, and submit it to them without delay. As well, you may also want to place a phone call to them. If there has ever been a time to get involved and make your voice heard, now is that time!

God speed my friends! May God bless our great nation and allow us to continue to enjoy the liberties and freedom that yet remains.
