Dear Rep. Akin,

I just wanted to let you know that I'm in complete support of the Republican House stance of blocking the MASSIVE taxpayer bailout of the Democrat enabled and generated failure of the mortgage banking industry. I realize I am not in Washington and don't know the insides and outsides of the "gentleman's" game of politics there, but it would behoove every single Republican Congressman/Senator to go to their local papers/tv/radio stations and major networks and let them all know where this whole thing started. It was in the hands of Democrats each and every step of the way that allowed those not able afford mortgage loans get loans backed up by pseudo-government backed companies of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and those private companies “encouraged” to follow suit for the “greater good” of political correctness. This is the most perfect example of why government is never the solution to a problem and why political correctness is so dangerous to every man, woman and child. It delivers nothing but feelings without any logical resolutions to back it up. Who were in charge of these two entities and the pressure exuded to outside banks who forced the hand of other lenders to lend to those not capable of paying their debts back? DEMOCRATS like ex-Pres. Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Sen. Obama, Dodd, Rep. Frank, etc.... Who ran these companies? No less than Franklin Raines, Tim Johnson, Jamie Gorelick, etc.... ALL part of the elite level of the Democrat Party. 

I realize you know this, but I urge you, from the core of my being, to shout out at the top of your lungs, who is responsible and why NO ONE should trust government to save us from situations like this and how no liberal Democrat should be trusted with the running of the most crucial parts of our GREAT country. 

For full disclosure purposes, I'm not a big fan of Sen. McCain (although I deeply admire him and his service to our country, I disagree with him a lot ideologically) and am a big supporter of Gov. Palin and I will be voting for the ticket this November. I do believe Sen. Obama will do a lot of harm to this country in four short years his presidency would encompass if he is elected, which I believe highly unlikely. 

Rep. Akin, I called you back in 2003 when my wife and I were going through the deep bureaucracy that was INS. I married my lovely wife (from Canada) on March 23, 2002 and she blessed me with our lovely daughter Mirandy on May 31, 2003. You placed a phone call with the agency and miraculously, after months of silence and frustration, we received a letter that all of her paperwork was accepted and she was moved up in the process (as long as we forwarded another several hundred dollars of money, which was alright in my book to get her legal status). Well, six glorious years of marriage later (along with plenty of frustration any government agency gives), she received her citizenship on July 19, 2008 in the Thomas Eagleton building in St. Louis. I had tears in my eyes watching her take her oath, watching my beautiful daughter taking it all in with the best of her manners at the forefront, and seeing the other fifty-plus citizens officially creating a new life for themselves in our Great Country. I have nothing but the greatest of beliefs in this country and despise the fact that some of those in power have bastardized what this country is and represents to the world. We ARE the pinnacle of governance in this world because we give our complete faith and trust in the regular person to lead us. Sometimes we get gold and sometimes we get lead, but at the very core of our beliefs, we give to those who are just like us. And every four years, based on performance, we have the option of voting that person out of office and out of our lives in the hope that the next person in line, one of us, does a better job. We don't bestow power on those who seek to rule with impunity. We don't always make the best decision, but we at least HAVE that decision to make. Not everyone in this world has that and we've had it for the last 200+ years and have NOT lost it. We are a country of proud people. A country of battlers. A country that doesn’t turn its head when one of its allies is in peril. A country whose beacon of freedom’s light shines brightest in the darkest of nights and stormiest of seas to lead those lost to shore and safety. A country of optimists that see a brighter day and better circumstances in tomorrow. A country full of those who will freely and gladly give their lives in the defense of the ideal that this country stands for; “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Rep. Akin, I urge you to continue to fight. If your compatriots in the House and Senate waver, urge them to fight on. This IS the fight of the moment and of a lifetime. A momentous infinitesimally small spot of time where a nation is begging for leadership that says NO to a governmental socialistic takeover of a wholly free and capitalistic enterprise that has been rendered asunder by those elites who use it for their own gain. 

Rep. Akin, I urge you to fight for us. I have my bills, I have my debts and I have my own financial agreements. I wholly intend to adhere to all my promises, as signed by name in contracts, to pay back every debt I incur in whole. Do I always like it, NO. BUT, I have my word and reputation backing up my signature. I hold these things to represent my honor and my being, which in a past time, meant everything and unfortunately for some in this day and age is just a fling of a momentary cavort with responsibility. I, along with over 90% of other Americans, intend to repay my debts without government assistance and with the whole intent of backing my debts with my word and my dollars.

We, the people of the United States, are reliant upon you to fight for us. We can ill afford to lose this battle. We want to bring our government back from the brink of the most evil of our Founding Father’s nightmares, the thought of socialistic personal controls by an overpowered government. We lose this battle; we further the loss of control of our self determination as a people. We lose responsibility. We lose our freedom by sacrificing another brick out of the foundation this country was founded on. We lose our identity as a wholly free nation. The dreams of those who fought and died for us and our freedom become imperiled.

Please fight on for a better solution of lower taxes on all and eliminating wasteful excessive programs our government has created for “our well being”. I firmly believe our best days are ahead of us. Our only way to get to those better days are by solid leadership put forward by you and other brave legislators in our Congress and executive, The President. Please don’t give up.

In the immortal and truly American words of Adm. David Farrugut at the Battle of Mobile Bay, “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!”

Yours most truly and sincerely,

Jason T. Moore
