Opposition to the "Brown Bailout"

This is a copy of letter sent to my favorite Obama sychophant.
You little ass kisser, time to be voted out of office.
A perfect example, by the way of how an unrestrained government can favor one compny over another.
They SHOULD NOT be helping either UPS or FedEx.

Thank you for using  Mail System.

Dear Sir:
As one of your constituents, I'm writing to ask you to oppose legislation that could harm our nation's express delivery system by increasing costs, lowering reliability and threatening jobs in the industry and all businesses that depend on overnight delivery.

Language inserted into the House version of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2009, which passed in the House last May, will dramatically change how FedEx Express is regulated.  The language favors only one company, UPS, and was designed to bail them out of a tough business situation.

Unlike the bailouts to shore up the nation's financial system, paid for by tax dollars, this "Brown Bailout" will force us all to pay more in order to get less, while putting jobs at risk.  This is not what our government should be doing to lower unemployment and put Americans back to work.

I also object to the secretive manner in which this bailout is being pushed through Congress without hearings or public debate on this particular issue.  UPS, the only company that benefits, has been forcing its employees to write letters in support of the bailout, according to the Washington Post ("UPS Employees Say They Were Forced to Lobby against FedEx," Aug. 7, 2009), and that just isn't fair.

Businesses and individuals across America rely on an express delivery system that is dependable and affordable for medicines, equipment and other essential goods.  Prices have never been lower, service has never been better and access to global markets has never been greater.  Congress should not put jobs at risk trying to fix something that isn't broken.

The House of Representatives already passed the FAA Reauthorization bill list May.  When the bill comes back for a final vote this year, please say no to the "Brown Bailout."

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
