Geithner Confirmation

The following is an open letter to my elected senators, from Virginia, Messrs. Webb and Warner:

“I respectfully request that you vote NOT to confirm Geithner as Secretary of the Treasury. Character counts.

“I am sure that at least one qualified democrat, out of a population of 300 million citizens, can be found to fill this position other than Geithner. If Obama can make the argument that the means does not justify the ends when it comes to interrogating terrorists using water boarding, then confirming a person who has an absolute disregard for the tax code to head the agency that makes those laws does not "hold water" either.

“I also reject the argument that "time is of the essence." Since when has time been of the essence to congress? If congress had addressed the housing issue, social security, Medicare, and energy issues over the last thirty years, we would not be facing this crisis.”

I encourage you to write your elected representatives and let them know what you think.

Great post! It's too bad Geithner got through so easy. Republicans in Congress need to step up and stand up for themselves (and for us). Sadly, they seem to be our only hope for the next couple of years at least.

I’ve just started a new blog that will be highlighting the dangerous advances of the secular progressive movement (pro-gay “rights”, pro-abortion, anti-religious freedoms, etc). Unfortunately, most Christians still don’t know what’s going on out there and the mainstream media certainly isn’t covering it.

We’re looking to build a solid group of social conservatives (especially Mike Huckabee supporters) who’ll frequent the site regularly and contribute to some good discussions. The site gets updated daily with breaking news, so you’ll want to check back often, or you can just sign up for our News Feed. I hope you’ll check it out!

If you’ll add us to your blogroll we’ll gladly add you to ours. Just drop us a comment over at our blog so that we’ll know to add you. Our blog is called Religion and Morality.

Thanks!
