RE: [guntotingliberals] copy of e-mail I set to Congressman Camp this morning.


Thanks for the email, I have likewise sent an email on this. The bailout is a
horrible idea. While some will disagree with me I dont have a problem with
deregulation, if it is coupled with an end to corporate welfare and the
corporate safety net of bailouts.

Yesterday I got a phone call from a friend in Utah who has studied this issue
more than I have and he thinks the same thing.

proposed as of last week. But it is my custom to offer more than yes-or-no
answers. So here is what I am suggesting that you propose as an alternative:
> However much money is being proposed to bail out the financial giants
($700,000,000 or more?), divide up that same amount among the adult citizens of
this country ($8,000 or so each?) If the personal allowance is counted as income
for the purpose of determining eligibility for all government programs, there
would be an enormous savings to taxpayers in the form of reduced costs of
administrating those programs.
> My sense is that between the additional money ordinary citizens would have to
invest or spend and the savings to taxpayers, those factors would do more to
correct the present downturn in the economy than a bailout of banks, mortgage
companies or both.

work either but if I can send you a snail-mail about this too, I¢ll try to do
so.

as far as I am concerned. I have wanted them to come around on this for a long
time and if they choose to maintain their nonsense after this I give up on them.
I had hoped for a while they could be brought around to the correct viewpoint on
this issue and become a liberal organization of note that does support the 2nd
Amendment. I am begining to think it is a pipe dream and that an organization
that is supposed to be based on principle is going to let their personal biases
color their policies.
