I rarely feel compelled to write my senators or congressmen but the whole housing bailout notion just bothers me so much that I have written both Boxer and Feinstein twice now saying what a bad idea I think it is; the main point being that I feel it is a complete slap in the face to anyone who has been responsible to use their tax dollars to bailout the few true sob stories and the multitude of frauds and speculators. In the end, they could end up spending my money to help keep home prices higher than I can afford, despite having a decent paying job.

For what it is worth, I also pointed out to both of them that I almost always vote for the democrat candidates, which could change with enough things like this despite my dislike of the republicans on other issues.
