So here we go. we start with the original email as it was emailed to me.
As this very complex finance bailout plan takes ship, all that's clear so far is that each American will be contributing $7,500, a figure somewhere in the 1
As this complex finance bailout plan takes shape, all that’s clear is that each American will be contributing $7,500 to it. The total figure is somewhere in the 1.5 trillion dollar range. Apparently, nothing in the plan forces the bailed-out companies to change their ways.
In the midst of this fog, Barack Obama offered the following list of guidelines, demands from Congress for assurances that the final deal must reflect “the basic principles of transparency, fairness, and reform.” He issued this statement today at a rally in Charlotte, N.C. His list actually works well as a template for letters that we all should be writing to Congress, letters insisting that we get something for what we are paying for. Here’s his list from today’s speech:
“First, there must be no blank check when American taxpayers are on the hook for this much money.
Second, taxpayers shouldn’t be spending a dime to reward CEOs on Wall Street.
Third, taxpayers should be protected and should be able to recoup this investment.
Fourth, this plan has to help homeowners stay in their homes.
Fifth, this is a global crisis, and the United States must insist that other nations join us in helping secure the financial markets.
Sixth, we need to start putting in place the rules of the road I’ve been
calling for for years to prevent this from ever happening again.
And finally, this plan can’t just be a plan for Wall Street, it has to be a plan for Main Street. We have to come together, as Democrats and Republicans, to pass a stimulus plan that will put money in the pockets of working families, save jobs, and prevent painful budget cuts and tax hikes in our states.”
I suppose it shouldn’t be too surprising that Mr. Obama should come up with something this comprehensive. Just out of law school, Obama worked for a year as a financial researcher and writer in a New York firm called Business International Corporation. His wrote newsletters outlining points of interest for companies doing business overseas. The newsletters were aimed at senior executives and had arcane titles like "Financing Foreign Operations" or "Investing, Licensing, and Trading Conditions Abroad."
It’s nice that he can apply whatever chops he learned to our current mess, and not a minute too soon. Somebody’d better do something. Here are links to his speech and his background on Wall Street:

Ok now for my response to this email and I sent it to several of my friends too. Also when I sent it out I got the return respons that George Penny's email was invalid, This frustrates me to no end. If your going to email me at least give me a vaild email so I can email you back. Especially when it is a vlaid email that is worth discussing, and giving my views on it or at least the topic of the email. This guy did point out in his six points that I agree with so I did not have a coment on these. I did however have to respond on his final coment about Obama. That responce is here. Unedited and paisted as it was sent out to my friends.
George,
I am not sure who you are or how you got my email address, but after reading your letter this is what I have to say in responce. (the original is at the bottem for those of you I included into this conversation) As for his speaches anyone can make a promise, I know this from running in school as class VP. Everyone should realize that a promise out out of a candidate's mouth is worth nothing. It is the actions of the candidate that has to stand for his or her proof as to weather he or she is going to hold up that promise.
As for Obama, I do not like this crooked individual and will not be voting for him, I will not be voting for McCain either. there is only one choice out there, and this year it is time to vote for a different party.
It does not any longer boils down to the lesser of two evils, not when you have the Constitutionalists Party and the Independent Party. But every one forgets about them. The more that this comes into play the more the Democrats and the Republicans are going to start to change back to "It's about America and the people, not themselves"
Also this will also force the hand of the removal of the electoral college that should have been taken out of play when women (the last minorty in America) were given the right to vote. The electoral college was put into place to allow the people that were not allowed to vote the ability to be counted into the election process.
This is archaic and very out of date and this is why states are removing them selves from the electoral college, there are now seventeen states, (Iowa is one of them as of this year) that have removed themselves from this process to make the votes of the people count. This is one of the things that is still forcing the American public not to vote.
This years election is one of the most important elections in the history of America. It is because the person that gets elected this year is the person that is either going to run the USA into a second depression or is going to work for the people by the people. This brings me to my point.
You have to ask your self one question, and that is this.
Is any of the people that are running regardless of the party going to work for the American people?
If you can honestly say yes to this question, as to any of the people that are running regardless of the party then that is the only person that you should vote for. I ask my self this question every election year and usually there is no one that fills into this question (except the year Regan ran). You also have to do the research on all of the people running as I have done. This year there is only one person that I can say, yes he or she is going to fill the position of President as a person that is going to help the American people and that is the Constitutionalists party candidate, Chuck Baldwin.
He is willing to give the power back to the people and enact the constitution back into play. There was also the candidate Ron Paul and if he was still running, I would have voted for him, like thousands of other people would have.
This year is the year that the American people need to stand up and vote for the person that is going to work for America. "Not the lesser of two evils!!"
Everyone please do the resarch of all of the canidates without looking at all the hype that is out there. Look insted at the record of each candidate and make your choice from all of the candidates not just the repbulican and democratic parties.
Ok I am now seteping off the soap box, everyone have a great day.
So can someone point me to the George Penny in question so that I can at least respond to his email. I did check the headder and its IP sends me to gmail.com That tells me this guy whom ever he is is computer savy as to at least manipulating the email program on his system right down to the sending IP. All I can do is hope that this either came from a friend that does not want me to know that he or she sent it or he canseled his email address with Gmail.
Ok I now open the floor to everyone that wishes to coment on these two emails.
Y'all have a great day.
