Luke Puckett is running for Indiana’s 2nd Congressional seat. I’ve meet him a few times and he’s a level headed business owner with no prior political experience.
 
Joe Donnelly is one of only three Indiana congressman that voted for the bill. recently Donnelly has this to say:
 
“It was these investment banks from Wall Street. They got involved through sheer greed, basically, and they weren’t smart enough to avoid the pitfalls, and wound up in all this trouble. And now, Main Street is having to bail them out, so we’re the solid rock. They’ve caused all the trouble,” Donnelly explained.
 
Maybe Donnelly should look at the prior post YouTube video.
 
 
Statement by Luke Puckett

“The $700 billion taxpayer sponsored bailout bill that was voted on this afternoon did not provide the right solution to our economic needs. Congress must act quickly to put in place solutions that address the grave nature of the current economic problem. This must be done without imposing the cost of such a solution on the taxpayer or future generations of Americans. We cannot do the wrong thing and we cannot do nothing, we must do the right thing.

“The right approach to this challenge is one that maximizes freedom and personal choice while bringing stability to the marketplace. In order to stimulate the economy and generate a much needed sense of certainty, we need to increase the cap on FDIC insurance. We must also develop a plan based on the FDIC model that allows banks and investment companies to purchase insurance for their most vulnerable mortgage-backed securities. This solution would require accountability and restore trust and confidence at a time when both of those commodities are much needed.

“I call on Congress to act in a bipartisan and responsible manner.”–Luke Puckett, Republican Candidate for Congress, IN/02

Statement by Joe Donnelly

“When there are serious people discussing the possibility of another economic depression, it is time to act. The rescue plan was not perfect, but it was necessary. And while no one took any pleasure in voting for it, the alternative — doing nothing — is potentially disastrous and therefore unacceptable.” — Rep. Joe Donnelly, Democrat, IN/02
