Dear Ms. Pelosi, I understand what a hard position you are in but you all need to listen to the American public. “We are the people” the Constitution refers to & it’s us, the poor & the middle class that has built this country---we are the patriots but we are the ones suffering. Instead of giving billions & billions of dollars to the upper echelon, the ones that have raped & pillaged our country, you need to help the ones that are homeless now because of the foreclosed mortgages, the ones that have lost their jobs, the ones that can no longer care for their families---we are the ones that have no income, no homes, no insurance. If American keeps going this way, it will no longer be the American we have served and fought for. Do you not understand this? I absolutely mean no disrespect but Congress & the Senate, who have secure jobs, that have insurance, that have their pensions guaranteed must understand that “We the People” are not guaranteed the same rights. If the millions of dollars were used to help us instead of the CEOs and upper management that used bad management decision in greed have ruined our country. If you continue to give them money they spend it on themselves and not for helping out us Americans. It was greed & stupidity on their part that ruined their industries--- why should they be rewarded for their greed??? I just do not understand this and neither does the American public. Do you know if you & your constituents had given this money to the American people we would have paid our mortgages, bought cars, paid for medical bills.& supported main street America that is the backbone of our America. It is us that would have spent the money to rebuild the country. The auto industry still doesn’t get the idea of what types of cars we need--- they should have learned this lesson in the 70’s and have some 30 years to make the necessary changes to reduce the necessity of oil reduction. The American people realize that it is the dependence on oil from the Middle East that is causing the wars & greed. Again, this money should have been used for innovative research & development to ease our dependence on foreign resources. The American public is just about to the breaking point where we will really change the government we have elected & get the change we want. We do want to give all of you to do what is good & right for our country. I know most of you are so rich you just are not in touch with the real Americans that have lost so much that the American dream is no longer possible. Reality—not fames of making the rich richer. All of you are supposed to be doing what is for the good for it’s citizen. Please help us to remain the America our forefathers dreamed of and that we still realize the dream is possible for us if or elected officials realize why they were voted into office. Please do the right thing for your country and vote accordingly. Thank you for the time to listen to my opinion. Again, please help your citizens and remember why you were elected in the first place. Thank you, Sincerely, Irma Thompsn Proud patiots of the United States of America
