Tucson Citizen - "Giffords says 100% of calls to her office are against $700B bailout"
U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords said calls to her office are "running 100 to zero" against a possible $700 billion injection of tax dollars into the banking system.
Giffords, a freshman Democrat, hosted a conference call with local financial experts hoping to learn how to explain to the public why the move is necessary. She said something should be done to protect the economy but she has problems with what might happen if the bailout goes through.
"I don't think hardworking taxpayers should be bailing out greedy CEOs," she said. "I don't think the president should get a blank check."
