House Republicans are pushing a meaningful alternative to the Paulson bailout plan.

In a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Leader John Boehner urged that the proposals be "given the consideration they deserve."

The proposals include:

* Wall Street – Not Taxpayers – Should Fund the Recovery
* Private Capital – Not Tax Dollars – Should Be Injected Into Financial Markets
* Immediate Transparency, Oversight, and Market Reform
