It is particularly upsetting that the two individuals – Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd – who were largely responsible for the housing bubble and subsequent financial meltdown, were applauded as heroes for their roles in creating this onerous legislation.
Please recall that we supported you, campaigned for you, and elected you to the Senate because you convinced us that you believed in fiscal responsibility, smaller government, and Constitutional principles.
IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE IN THOSE VALUES YOU CANNOT, IN GOOD CONSCIENCE, SUPPORT THIS OUTRAGEOUS ATTEMPT TO NATIONALIZE THE FINANCIAL INDUSTRY.
1. The proposed Bill does not correct the problems with Fannie and Freddie, even though they were the root cause of the financial meltdown. This bill does the exact opposite.
2 . It greatly expands executive authority and reach.
3. It does not eliminate perpetual bail-outs at taxpayer expense.
4. It will (along with the previous unconstitutional interventions in the health care, auto and banking industries) fundamentally expand and change the role of Government vis-à-vis the private sector.
5. Plus the many other egregious items too numerous to enumerate here.
Senator Brown, after completing your “due diligence” of this unconstitutional Bill, including consultation with Senator Judd and Representative Ryan, we expect you to remain committed to the principles you espoused throughout your campaign. Please keep in mind that it was those principles, and your promises to uphold those principles, that motivated so many of us to send you to Washington. Sincerely,

We just hit 250 signatures and I am incredibly proud of how many people from Massachusetts are standing up for fiscal sanity. Seeing this many neighbors join me in holding Senator Brown accountable gives me a lot of hope for our future.

Seeing one hundred people put their names behind this demand shows that my neighbors are just as frustrated with this bill as I am. We expected better than more bailouts and expanded government reach when we sent Senator Brown to Washington.

Keep your promise to us. Small gov means small gov. No more bailouts.
Fannie and Freddie are a disaster. Why on earth would you support anything that keeps them on life support? big mistake.
frustrated to see this moving foward. dodd and frank are the last people who should be writing laws for our economy.
Total overreach. We need to get back to basics and stop these bailouts once and for all. Listen to your voters Scott!!
This bill is exactly why we voted you in. To fix the mess not make it permanent. VOTE NO.
