CRITICAL: Stop Paulson and Congress from Privatizing Profits and Socializing Loss
Edited on Sun Sep-21-08 03:57 PM by kaygore
Please contact everyone you know and tell them that there are other solutions to the crisis on Wall Street than to place a $2333 debt on every man, woman, and child in the United States:

Paulson will accept no oversight or controls over how he spends the money. This establishes a horrific precedent.

Being an election year with a major election only weeks away, both parties are trying to distance themselves from this crisis and may lack the will to stand up to Paulson for the people.

WE MUST PUT PRESSURE ON OUR REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS!

NO BAILOUT!

They wanted to live by their greedy, unchecked ways; let them die by the same.

If we don't stop this now, the cycle will continue to repeat, with our Republic and our economic well being being seriously damaged each time.

Let Washington hear from each of us and everyone we have ever met...NOW!!!

2. maybe - but that doesn't mean that we should just raise our arms in defeat
at least give it a try. I wrote to my Senators, my congress woman, Pelosi, Obama, McCain and even the damn White House. Tomorrow I intend on calling them all and faxing. Flood them all!! Damn it, I am not going to stop fighting.

5. Yep
It's also a great campaign issue, especially in rural areas.

The republican laundry is now being flown in the wind. The greatest giveaway ever in the history of the US. R's are protecting Wall Street and neglecting Main Street.

It's also a financial 9-11. Coming 7 years and 11 days after that 9-11.
