Auto Bailouts

From yesterday’s excellent Campaign for Liberty mailer:

After the Paulson $700 billion bailout package passed in early October, we knew it was only a matter of time before Congress moved to use your money yet again to bail out a struggling industry.

Now, a vote to give funds to the “Big 3″ auto manufactures, GM, Ford, and Chrysler, is likely to come up in the Senate tomorrow [today].

Call your Senators today and ask them to oppose bailing out the auto industry, whether with funds from TARP, revisions of previous loans, or any new grants. To find the information for your Senators, click on our “States” page and look for your state. Phone numbers and links to contact forms can be found near the bottom of each state’s page. We have included recommended letters at the end of this email to send your Senator.

Who knew when we started giving out “free money” with no strings attached that other people might want some as well? This whole thing is absolutely scandalous and inexcusable. Bailouts are nothing more than legalized theft.

Please sign up for Campaign for Liberty if you haven’t yet. Hopefully enough people will rally to the cause of liberty that we can put a stop to this kind of crap.
