WE BETTER WAKE UP WAYNE GILCHREST, NOW

(and Mike Castle, too, before it's too late)

On Monday, soon-to-be ex Congressman Gilchrest once again showed his
true color ("RINO") by voting with the Democrat majority in support of
the golden-parachute Wall Street bailout bill fabricated by another RINO
- Henry Paulson - with a background on the "Street" (former head of
Goldman, Sachs) and leading Democrats in Congress, including Nancy
Pelosi (Wayne's actual leader) and Barney Frank, with close ties to the
banking and financial world. Fortunately, the real Republicans in the
House were joined by sufficient moderate or prudent Democrats (persons
with less ties to Wall Street) to defeat this outrageous legislation
that would require the taxpayers to save (read "reward") the brokers and
investment bankers - including those in Goldman Sachs - who are lobbying
extensively to bring the bill back. A shift of just 12 members could
mean that it passes if Gilchrest continues to support it.

It's time to act: contact Gilchrest's office and just say "NO BAILOUT."
Here's the necessary info to reach him -

I am for some form of a bailout. We need to suck it up and accept that this is the result of the failure of "trickle down" economics and McCain/Bush deregulation, as well as the Democrats abandoning their principles. The Republicans have had this deregulation mantra since the days of Ronald Reagan, and we need to face the fact that it does not work in today's economy.

I am not for the bailout but I am for putting regulations back in place for sure.
Deregulation got us here. Sure, the subprime mortgages played a part, but with regulation, they would not have been able to happen like they did.
The quick cash places have also played a part in the mortgage crisis.
Some people fell behind and since they were already maxed out on credit and couldn't borrow anymore, they went to these places for loans which typically charge $20.00 for every hundred you borrow for a 2 week period.
Now, if you do the numbers, that is $40.00 a month to borrow $100.00...tell me that doesn't hurt people, the ones who don't know how to manage money to begin with.
How do they get away with charging such ridiculously high interest, no regulation.
Before somebody attacks me for this, be clear, I am not for bigger government, however, I am definitely for smarter and more efficient government. Our elected representatives need to be held accountable at election time.

Leave Wayne alone. He's too busy supporting Obama these days, and hugging trees with the W.E.T gang. Afterall, W.E.T is throwing a big bash for him, while they try to shove a land grab legislation down our throats. All you farmers better wake up!!!!!!!

I bet you voted for Castle and Bush. Then again, I bet you are too much of a lazy ass to go to the polls and vote.

This is exactly why the idiot Gilchrest lost to Harris, because he didn't listen to the people. And for him to back Kratovil is insane! Hey Wayne, get a job.

He doesn't have to work, he's got a salary and health benefits for life.
