We received the following letter from our U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown. I feel a whole lot better knowing some of his thought process on the $700 Billion “bailout”. I am sure that he shared the same thoughts with all of his constituents who wrote him concerning this issue so I am sharing it here.

Warren Buffett knows if you are going to take on great risk, be sure to negotiate a hard bargain and at least have the option to make millions. I just received my latest edition of The Economist where I learned this.
I haven’t seen anything on line about the $700 Billion Bailout of the banking industry. [...]

I do. Look we never asked to be the focal point of the 2008 General Election. Who knew that the phrase “lipstick on a pig” would become the most important topic on the political scene with just six weeks left until the American Public vote for their next leader?

Ironically, the one county official that should NOT have a primary does. I cannot imagine that Cuyahoga County voters will turn their backs on the man who has had their backs through these tough times. But just in case you need to be reminded who he is, what he stands for and how he works [...]
