July 2, 2009, 6:36pm (report abuse)Oppose this Bill, it is contrary to the original intention of the TARP project. The interests received on the TARP should be used for reducing the cost of the program and not to finance pet projects of the legislators now. This is deceiving and undermining our trust in our elected officials.

July 5, 2009, 9:39pm (report abuse)Just another way for the American taxpayer to get duped. As I tell my children all the time, everyone is always working an angle. 95% of the mortgages in this country are paid on time, so lets set up a program to help who, the 4% who are struggling. The Financial institutions have paid back around 75 billion, which is supposed to go back to the general fund to pay down the staggering national debt. Way to go Washington, putting special interest over real governing.

Call your Senators and tell them that repayments need to pay down the debt not start new programs. Then call your representatives and tell them to vote no to HR 3068 or you will write letters to the editor of your loacal papers.
