They’ll type it up and give him the message. Lloyd Doggett. Usually I can count on him. This time they told me he’s got some concerns with the bill the way it is.</p> I just called my Rep.

STOP… the sky is not falling. Wall Street model is on it’s last gasp . Hurrah. let it go down.

HELP the people in jobs not the slackers on Wall Street.

Worried about payrolls? – offer loans to MAIN STREET.

SHUT DOWN the mortgage industry

Re set all mortgages to 30 year fixed at 6% ALL MORTAGES

No bundling, selling or leveraging of mortgages. They remain in the vault on your main street bank.

Our congress listens to lobbyists and fat cats (their friends). Fascists are here.
