Dear Republican Friend, Unimaginable greed. Those two words are what we've seen over the past few days as we learn more about the $165 million in bonuses offered to AIG executives. Help me get that money back by signing the NRSC's "Take Back The Bonuses" petition.  And then support the NRSC with a secure online donation of just $5 or more. My constituents in Texas have been calling my office all week asking "what's going on up there?" The answer is two other words: liberal Democrats. They're the ones who are in charge and approved the money for the AIG bailout.  And a couple of weeks ago when conservatives and moderates began asking questions, we were told - in not so many words - to mind our own business. Well, the taxpayer's money is our business. Frankly, it's unthinkable to me that a company American taxpayers bailed out would hand out bonuses to their executives.  Where I come from - and pretty much everywhere except Washington, D.C. - you pay people to succeed - not to fail. But Harry Reid, Chris Dodd and the liberals who control the White House and Congress have received thousands in campaign contributions from AIG and other Big Money interests.  In fact, since 1989, Dodd himself has received over $281,000 - making him the largest recipient of AIG contributions in the Senate.  And he and others don't want to bite the hand that feeds them. We're hoping to generate over 100,000 signatures on our petition.  And once we have them, we will deliver them directly to Harry Reid's office to show that hardworking Americans like you think it's high time to Take Back The Bonuses. Please take a minute to sign the NRSC's petition right now.  Then help the NRSC fight to reestablish a conservative majority in Congress to prevent this type of embarrassing situation in the future. Americans have seen what "change" means to them.  More spending, higher taxes, and bonuses paid to greedy bankers and insurance companies for wrecking our economy. I've had enough, and I think you probably have too. Please take a moment to join me in working to Take Back The Bonuses by signing the NRSC's petition and making a contribution right now.  Thanks. Thanks again for your support, Senator John Cornyn Chairman National Republican Senatorial Committee P.S. Chris Dodd was the single largest recipient of money from AIG in the last 19 years, receiving over $281,000.  They knew they needed to buy a few favors, and they also knew Dodd would scratch their back when the time came.  It's time we demand our money back and send a message to Chris Dodd and other liberal Democrats who spend our money like it's water.  Sign our petition to take back the bonuses and make a secure online contribution of $5 or more right now.  Thanks again.
