A Reply from Congressman John Carter (R-TX) (Scoopthis.org EXCLUSIVE)
Posted by Kelsey Golden on Monday, September 29th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
As I have already mentioned, I have been in contact with my congressman regarding the Bailout bill just as I hope many of you have. Shortly after my Congressman voted "No" on the bill, he sent me (and likely others) the following email:
Dear Kelsey:
Thank you for taking the time to contact me regarding federal involvement in the current financial market. Your input is important to me, and I appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts.
As you may know, H.R. 3997, the Defenders of Freedom Tax Relief Act of 2007 nicknamed the Wall Street Bailout Bill, failed to pass the House by a vote of 205 to 228. I had serious concerns regarding this bill and was not prepared to commit $700 billion of taxpayer dollars to a plan with so many unanswered questions, as a result I voted against H.R. 3997.
Now that this plan has failed, I am ready and willing to go back to the drawing board and come up with a plan that won’t put taxpayers on the hook for another government bailout. I also think we should see the evidence from all sides of the issue, not solely the advice from the administration.
I hope to help craft a common sense alternative to the $700 billion Bush/Paulson Bailout Plan, one that mandates Wall Street fund the recovery of the economy rather than American taxpayers.
Again, thank you for taking the time to contact me on this important issue. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future should you need any further assistance.
Sincerely,
John Carter
Member of Congress
Today, I am sure of only one vote I will be making on November 4th and that is the vote to Re-Elect my congressman, John Carter. Click Here for a list of the congressmen that voted for or against the bailout and please vote accordingly.
