Obama campaign - you have a real situation on your hands w/ this Acorn dilema. Who cares about Wright and Ayers, but FRAUD, this is huge. Your entire campaign has centered around trust and change and this could completely tarnish your reputation. You, Obama, need to get on TV RIGHT NOW and explain the situation. This cannot linger in hopes of it dying down and it needs to be addressed before the McCain camp attacks. I would suggest you telling the American people, that you are appalled and don't condone this activity and that you will put up you own money (personal or campaign) to ensure that no this situation is fixed. You must explain what is going on and separate yourself from this activity......NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Future President Obama, as my senator, I implore you to vote against the bailout bill. Just as you stood up against Bush by opposing the Iraq War, stand up against Bush and stand up FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE by voting against the bailout bill. This is once again a piece of legislation that gives too much authority to the executive branch (just like the Iraq War and the Patriot Act) and by supporting it, will be used against you later.
To be honest, Wall Street is the least relevant aspect in our economy. Regular people live off real things like food, homes, shelters, and the productive worth of their work or produced goods, not loans. We are already too far gone in debt.
All this doom and gloom is the same strategy Bush used to pressure Congress to vote for the Patriot Act and the Iraq War. Please be a leader and consider some alternative ways to resolve this issue, if it needs to be resolved. I think that using taxpayer money to help taxpayers going through home foreclosure would also benefit Wall Street because it would make all those bad loans solvent.
That is a bottom-up approach (where have I heard that one?). Obama take a stand and don't vote for this bill. It won't solve anything and it will undermine your current position of bringing change to Washington.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Thompson
