I plead as a progressive Democrat that someone on our side of the isle asks for accountability in the face of the awesome responsibility of the stewardship of our nation's wealth and fiscal future.
We have the golden opportunity to seize the mantle of fiscal responsibility and ensure that their is clear and transparent publicly available oversight of the current funds under TARP being utilized at the discretion of the congressional leadership of the U.S.A. Given the stewardship of our societies financial well being, it is partially YOUR responsibility as elected officials to ensure the wise and prudent use of our nation's present and future well being. If you act justly and attend to the needs of your constituency in seeking accountability and oversight in the use of the public's TARP funds you will gain not only the political capital of beating the GOP at their own game in the realm of fiscal responsibility, you will earn our gratitude and future support in your endeavors.
Therefore I implore you, Senator Merkley, to champion this issue now in the beginning of your tenure as a freshman Progressive Democrat. Urge your fellow members in committees and the Senate, as well as Democrats in the Oregon Congressional Caucus and at the state level to support oversight and transparency of the use of current TARP funds and future stimulus packages. Protect the interests of working Americans families and you can rest assured that we will support you in yours.
I think I may speak on behalf of a community that supported you that this is in the interest of the Democratic party, the Progressive movement, as well as the American citizen and your own aspirations. The Democratic party and working class families craves leadership we can believe in, and with a legislative majority and the office of the POTUS behind you we can push the change that we need on a civil and economic level that begins with the innovation and corage of our leaders.
I implore you, Senator Merkley, to be that leader, not only on behalf of this community, but also on behalf of the working class families of all walks of life that compromise our nation. Propose this sort of legislation to the other leaders of the Senate, to Sen. Reid and Sen. Schumer, as well as Speaker Pelosi and Rep. Frank. America is behind you, we as your constituents are behind you, the POTUS Barack Obama WILL support you and you will gain from the experience yourself. As patriots with the same interests in mind, we can assure you of this.
