Dear Senator Clinton,

There seems to be a ripple, or perhaps a convulsion of sorts passing through the American People right now. We are uncertain. The public is hurting, and the government continues to ask more from us to help those that have often lived with a silver spoon. Many have smugly played the system to their direct advantage, often illegally and unscrupulously. How we seem to have lost our way as a society. Can we no longer be honorable? Were we ever? Our forefathers must weep.

I write to you to implore that you not support a government Wall St. subsidy without finding a way to help everyday working class people. I ask that you not allow these institutions to continue to run amok without regulation and oversight. Over and over again they prove that they can not handle the responsibility.

As a society, we live far more comfortably than most, but I think we can sense things may not be staying that way. We anticipate pain to come; but make no mistake, we are angry, and if things are to be painful, they should be equally painful. Those that helped organize this mess should also share in it. Large numbers of very real and ordinary people are paying for all of these mistakes.


The financial numbers being talked about are simply staggering. Most of us are not experts on the economy, but it seems striking to us that money could come so quickly for this yet education, health care, and a whole list of important things are left to limp along.

Let this be a defining moment. Draw a line and say, 'no more'. Let it be the beginning of something new.
