"I will deal with my alcoholism later," a drunk will plead, "what I need now is another drink!"

This ridiculous comment would be funny if it wasn’t such a tragic reality for so many families. Likewise the Wall Street bailout plan being discussed in Washington avoids the issues of economic reform for an approach that simply builds the dike higher without relieving the pressure on the system.

Main Street America is speaking loudly. Some polls are showing that up to 90% of Americans do not support this bailout plan, yet this Congress is insisting on moving this bill forward. A GOP congressman reported that calls are coming in 300-1 against this plan. A Democrat Congressman reported this morning that calls were coming into his office 50/50 regarding the plan. 50% were "NO", 50% were "HELL NO". I personally called Congress yesterday morning, and found all circuits busy to the Capital switchboard.

Richard Matthews will not, nor will ever be in favor of bailing out Wall Street “fat cats” using the funds of hard working American taxpayers. This plan will sink our Government deeper in debt and reward, instead of punish, the bad behavior responsible for this mess. A great systemic fraud was perpetrated on the American people. Those who orchestrated it need to see the inside of a jail cell, not the silk of a golden parachute.

Please Call Congressman Ruppersberger to register your displeasure with this “Plan” to fleece the American Tax Payer

The Matthews campaign is planning to run full force in the coming days highlighting the misrepresentation of our district’s constituents.

Please help us with the ammunition needed to present our opposition to the voter with a generous contribution TODAY to the Matthews for Congress campaign. We plan to appeal directly to the voter with these issues next week!
