Eighth Congressional District candidate profiles

JO ANN EMERSON goes around southern Missouri, lying to us about how she HAD NO CHOICE but to vote for the bailout of her pals on Wall Street.

PNC BANK.. which is taking $5.6 BILLION of the $8 BILLION that Jo Ann Emerson gave them from our wages, is, also, signing a deal to put their branches in a GIANT FOODS.... They are using OUR money as capitalization money, they are NOT LOANING OUR MONEY OUT TO HELP THE ECONOMY... THEY USED IT TO MAKE THEM AN EVEN LARGER BANK...

"PNC and Giant Food LLC signed a 10-year contract this week to place PNC Bank branches inside 41 Giant Food stores in Virginia, D.C., Maryland and Delaware."

Jo Ann Emerson-Gladney has such a nice smile, too bad that that smile hides a lie. There were NO economists called to testify before Congress about the Bailout, because if they did, they would have said that the bailout would not work.

Jo Ann Emerson-Gladney, got this letter, as did all the congressmen, and ignored it, just like she ignored 90% of our calls that told her NOT to vote for the Bailout...

"This letter was sent to Congress on Wed Sept 24 2008 regarding the Treasury plan as outlined on that date. It does not reflect all signatories views on subesquent plans or modifications of the bill)

To the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate:

As economists, we want to express to Congress our great concern for the plan proposed by Treasury Secretary Paulson to deal with the financial crisis. We are well aware of the difficulty of the current financial situation and we agree with the need for bold action to ensure that the financial system continues to function. We see three fatal pitfalls in the currently proposed plan:

1) Its fairness. The plan is a subsidy to investors at taxpayers’ expense. Investors who took risks to earn profits must also bear the losses. Not every business failure carries systemic risk. The government can ensure a well-functioning financial industry, able to make new loans to creditworthy borrowers, without bailing out particular investors and institutions whose choices proved unwise.

2) Its ambiguity. Neither the mission of the new agency nor its oversight are clear. If taxpayers are to buy illiquid and opaque assets from troubled sellers, the terms, occasions, and methods of such purchases must be crystal clear ahead of time and carefully monitored afterwards.

3) Its long-term effects. If the plan is enacted, its effects will be with us for a generation. For all their recent troubles, America's dynamic and innovative private capital markets have brought the nation unparalleled prosperity. Fundamentally weakening those markets in order to calm short-run disruptions is desperately short-sighted.

For these reasons we ask Congress not to rush, to hold appropriate hearings, and to carefully consider the right course of action, and to wisely determine the future of the financial industry and the U.S. economy for years to come.

Jo Ann Emerson's VOTES THAT KILLED JOBS IN SOUTHERN MISSOURI.

(now, blackshadow, have you seen this before?)

Representative Jo Ann Emerson voted for the bailout of WALL STREET & FOREIGN BANKERS, and she voted for job killing “Free Trade” Policies.

Voted YES on promoting Free Trade with Peru (November 2007)

Voted NO on assisting workers who lose jobs due to outsourcing of jobs (October 2007)

Voted YES on implementing Central America Free Trade Act (July 2005)

Voted YES on implementing Free Trade Agreement with Singapore (July 2003)

Voted YES on implementing Free Trade Agreement with Chile (July 2003)

Voted NO on withdrawing from the World Trade Organization (June 2000)

Voted YES on PERMENANT Most Favored Nation Trade Status for Communist China (2000)

Noted YES on 'Fast Track' authority for Trade Agreements (September 1998)


Then, on Monday, September 29th, and again on Friday, October 3rd, Jo Ann Emerson voted against 90% of the people in southern Missouri who told her not to vote for the Bailout of Wall Street's greedy, gambling bankers and Foreign Banks. Jo Ann Emerson is Wall Street's and the insurance industry's best friend. (She was an insurance lobbyist before she met Bill Emerson, while he was still married.) Once a lobbyist, always a lobbyist. That is why she is such a great meet and greeter... the insurance industry trained her well so she could lobby for them.

Meet a new face.. such an honest face... Pro-Life, Pro-Property Rights, Pro-Gun with an ("A") from the NRA... JOE ALLEN ... www.allen4congress.com

Brandon, and Richard are good choices, but my vote and support goes to a true conservative, a hardworking man who worked his way though a Christan college, the College of the Ozarks, where you WORK for your TUTION, and then got his law degree and lived here ever since.

Joe Allen is ADAMANTLY OPPOSED TO THE BAILOUT OF WALL STREET AND FOREIGN BANKERS, WHICH JO ANN EMERSON VOTED FOR....TWICE...

Joe Allen is for Traditioinal Marriage. He is Pro-Life, Pro-Property Rights, and he got an "A" from the NRA, for his no compromise 100% support of our gun rights. You have not seen a candidate like this before in many years... take a look at Joe Allen.. such an honest face.
