He's a speech I wrote for McCain, he wont give it, but I think you'd like to read it.
My fellow Americans, over the last week my offices have been barraged by calls from you, with the
best of intentions, opposing Hank Paulsons bailout plan. I understand how you feel, in fact I used to
feel the same way, but upon closer examination of the crisis let me explain to you what I've discovered.
Small and medium sized businesses, the same businesses most of us work for are having trouble
securing financing to handle their daily operations. As an example, in one small area in Southern
California just in the last few months four major car dealerships have shut their doors. My friends
these aren't “Wall Street Fat Cats”, these are mechanics, secretaries and sales people. My friends,
these are your neighbors.
In the past several months we've seen the demise of all of our countries investment banks.
Yesterday Washington Mutual the nations largest thrift bank was seized by regulators .
What this means, in straight talk, is that the nations financial life raft has a hole in it.
If we don't plug the hole than the small and medium size businesses you work for may find
themselves out of business and you may find yourself out of work. I understand that it wasn't you who
created the problem but I also understand that if we don't act swiftly it will be all of us sinking together.
Treasury Secretary Paulson has presented a plan which he believes will plug the hole in our life raft.
I support this plan. I need your help with this.
Please call your representative and ask them to “PASS Paulsons Plan,” while it can still be effective.
Thank You.
