- Are you trying to strike a deal
in the dark of night in smoke filled rooms? - Shouldn’t all legislators have
a chance to read a bill and discuss it with their constituents before voting
on it? - I haven’t seen it so I can’t
discuss it with you. Yet news outlets are saying this could be as short as
a day, this is unacceptable!
I cannot believe that YOU are going to pass crony capitalism
in secrecy without any public knowledge of what is happening!
- Nobody
knows what is in this bill. - Nobody
has read the bill. - Nobody
knows who is sponsoring the bill. - Nobody
knows who the bill is for. - Nobody
knows how much the bill will cost.
News outlets are reporting that this bill will be paid for
with "existing revenues." Let me be clear, those revenues came from
me the taxpayer – I will be paying for this corporate welfare!
If this secret, lobbyist driven legislation passes, a
mysterious corporation is going to get a windfall - and my family and I will
be paying that tab without having a say!
How is it that this can pass the entire legislature in one
day without any public transparency?! Remember, you work for us! I didn’t work hard
and pay my taxes so you can hand it out to another person in the dark of night.
I am writing you today to demand that you vote
against what looks like corporate welfare. I look forward to your immediate response!
