Response from Ginny Brown-Waite
October 17, 2008 Citrus County Sound OFF, Opinions, Politcs No CommentsWhile Congress was contemplating the $700 billion Bailout package I wrote to our Congresswoman, Ginny Brown-Waite expressing my anger about the package. Today I have received a response from her in regards to my comments, and I wanted to share them with you. Please read her letter below and comment on them here when you are done. Remember she is running for re-election this year while you read it.
Dear Paul:
Thank you for contacting my office with your thoughts on Congress’ recent efforts to address the faltering credit markets. As you may know, I voted and spoke out against the bailout package both times it came before the House of Representatives. The first time around, a majority of my colleagues joined me to defeat the bill. However, by adding pork, the Senate was able to persuade enough of my colleagues to switch their votes and pass the bailout.
