Mr. President,

There is no doubt your election was a watershed. An 8-year-long national nightmare has ended. But there is a tremendous amount of damage to repair.

Foremost is addressing the economic crisis that is upon us and which touches on every concern from the environment and healthcare to wars and energy.

So now the next fight begins.

The wealthy and corporate interests who dished out billions of dollars this election season are swarming over Washington to get you to pass their agendas. The energy giants are demanding “clean coal,” nuclear power and offshore drilling. More big corporations facing bankruptcy because of their corruption and greed demand taxpayer bailouts.

Military contractors and weapon peddlers will push the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The super-rich will cry poverty like never before and demand more tax cuts. HMOs and insurance companies will promote bogus healthcare “reforms” so they can stall universal healthcare. And sir, they won’t take "no" for an answer.

Now on a personal note Mr. President, I need a bailout; and many just like me. How did we go from an economic crisis to a mortgage crisis and then back to an economic crisis. I fear to believe that corporations like Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Bear Sterns, AIG, and the rest of these corporate parasites took D.C.'s eyes off the real victims of this Apocalypse. For all I care these corporations can fold up or burn down. I'm no economist but believe me, please, big corp America continue to prove they are not responsible and only care about their stock holders, not the customers. Let them find their own way Mr. President, they will. But if you keep offering to feed these parasites, they will remain at your doorstep in a frenzy.

Bail me [US] out Mr. President; use some of the money to help homeowners like me that are now in homes across America that are "worth less" than the mortgages owned on them. Bailing out corporate will not help US. Many of US now need employment and I know you can rebuild this aspect of our economy. But what I am asking sincerely of you is to use part of the bailout funds to buy up all the legitimate upside-down mortgages across the country and return fair mortgages to these homeowners. Trust me Wall Street and their stock holders will come knocking on the door, sending emails, and mailing letters to you begging to have these mortgages back. Only then will you truly be in a position to force them to conduct business in a fair and ethical manner. Because you Mr. President will have what they need most, Our Business.

Thanks for visiting, thanks for reading.
