Dear Senator Mikulski,

It is with much grief and hopelessness that I am writing to you this evening after watching today's news and seeing that the House has passed our Presidents stimulus package.

I appeal to you as a daughter of parents and grandparents of the great depression to vote NO on this package.

Please take time to remember the stories of your parents and grandparents about the hyper-inflation that they experienced and, remember that throwing money at the problem didn't work. And as most economist of our day agree served but to only prolong one of America's most agonizing periods.

We need to stop the spending and stop the spending now, and let the cards fall where they may.
Allowing the first bailout package to be passed with zero oversight from Hank Paulson is likened to the fox guarding the hen house. I certainly don't think that Mr. Paulson is of ill-intent, but as the former CEO of one of the banks that was bailed I find, as do many Americans do to be absolutely appalling, as we believe he must have known something about what was going on.

Yes there will be much 'letting of blood' so to speak, but every trade organizations is filing into Washington this very moment with their hand out wanting a piece of this 'crumbling pie'.

I am especially troubled with ACORN who is under so very much suspicion and actual ongoing investigation on many different fronts including voter fraud, would even be considered for a handout.

Hearing Mr. Gieger talk about contracts for rebuilding of our infrastructure was even more troubling, when he stated... "White, middle class construction workers need not apply".

Dear Senator our infrastructure was built by highly skilled craftsmen, of masons and iron workers. My own Grandfather lost his eye building the Chesapeake Bay Bridge when a younger less experienced worker accidently shot him in eye with a hot rivet from a rivet gun.

My Grandfather never sued for workers compensation, nor did he go on disability. In fact, after his empty socket healed, he obtained a glass eye and went back to work. He walked the 'I' beams of some of our Eastern Seaboards highest buildings, and bridge spans all with one eye. He has never been a burden to society but instead an asset even with what would in today's world be written off immediately as a handicap, and another employer being sued.

Instead now, society is a burden to him. For all that he has saved; half has been lost over the last year, and his retirement dollar shrinks monthly through inflation.

He has forewarned me of this day my entire life, and tonight I ask you to remember the proud men and women who would rather work, than accept a hand out.

Printing more money will only serve to put us further into the abyss of debt that we even now do not know how to repay and devalue it to levels we haven't seen since the Great Depression.

You know as well as I do that so much of this stimulus money will only end up in pockets of people who are lobbying for the money but not actually doing the work.

Please Senator, stand up to your colleagues in the Senate and tell them why this won't work.

Additionally, if any of this bill does pass, please insist that the steel and concrete that we use to rebuild our bridges and roads is American Steel and not Chinese. Real economic stimulus will come from American companies being able to fill American needs with American Products made by American Workers.

You remember the prosperity in Baltimore when Bethlehem Steel was open. Let's pay back our loans to China with money that we have earned instead of buying their junk.

Sincerely,
