Hero’s in the House – Democrats and Republicans

The Bail Out of Failed Lenders – from Freddie and Fannie to A.I.G. to Wall Street, can be directly linked to politicians - one party is directly to blame for the mess and the other for failure to act (Again, John McCain warned of the problem, Obama was not present and Barney Frank should be investigated and indicted) - Today, certain members of the House, members of both parties, stood up and defied the leaders of their respective political parties in order to look out for the Constitution, Democracy and “we the people”. They deserve to be wholeheartedly thanked. Wall Street may stumble, but it will recover. History has proven that the markets react and recover. The Bill, as it was written and the subsequent rhetoric by certain House Members (Barney and Nancy), were tantamount to yelling “fire” in a crowded room. Perhaps some felt that the adage “There’s A Sucker Born Every Minute” (PT Barnum) was applicable in this instance. Others, listed below felt that was not the case. This was truly a bi-partisan rejection of Big Government gone Socialist. Contact information for each Representative is listed www.congress.org/congress.org/home
