CALL YOUR CONGRESSMAN NOW! Email them, call them, stand outside their local office with picket signs. If we all band together, we''''ll draw more attention to this fiasco...

Berniepeders: While I hate to think you''re correct (and I''m sure you are) when you say our Reps don''t give a R-A-T-S A-S-S unless it comes in the form of money, I think that if enough of us rally up against this BS bailout, they''d have to take notice.

Emails, phone calls, picket lines? Or perhaps now, candlelight vigils while we mourn the loss of our hard earned money. *sigh*

The government are the people who made the regulations and laws so these people could make the money they "earned". It is these people''''s duty to pay their taxes to that government so that others can enjoy the same opportunities and prosperity these people had.

How do taxpayer dollars give opportunities and prosperity to people? I never relied on any government assistance. Every State that relies heavily on entitlements is going bankrupt. California, Illinois, New York, Michigan.

That''s because America is a lie. At no time in our history has it been any more apparent. Posted by lochlan

"We, the people" don''''t even have the ability to directly elect the president that the majority of the country wants. The president is elected by the party faithfuls who are members of that d-a-m-n-e-d electoral college. The general population has no control over what goes on in Washington, admit it, and get over it.
Peace

ddaryl1: I''m sorry to burst your bubble, but you''re kidding yourself if you really think those people in Washington give a rats a-s-s what you write or e-mail to them. The only thing that means anything to them is money (campaign contributions) and political connections to get themselves re-elected, so they can keep making more money and connections. Sorry.

FromTexwLove,

Then Reagan was a Communist.

Why don''t you guys have any problems with the redistribution of wealth from the middle class/poor to the rich?

Nov. 10 (Bloomberg) -- The Federal Reserve is refusing to identify the recipients of almost $2 trillion of emergency loans from American taxpayers or the troubled assets the central bank is accepting as collateral.

Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said in September they would comply with congressional demands for transparency in a $700 billion bailout of the banking system. Two months later, as the Fed lends far more than that in separate rescue programs that didn''t require approval by Congress, Americans have no idea where their money is going or what securities the banks are pledging in return."

STEAL, LIE, STEAL, LIE. That''s the Bush Regime. Of course, why can I walk down the street and ask people if they know what Clinton did in the oval office, and get the right answer, but when I ask, after two president Bush''s, if these same people know about Bush''s family history with the bank oil companies, NONE of them know that Prescott Bush''s bank, UBC, was siezed by the US government under the "Trading with the Enemy Act" because of their using the bank to fund the Nazi''s in the 30''s and 40''s. What''s going on with the banks and financial markets right now, after record profits with the oil companies? Didn''t this same scam happen during the Reagan Bush years and the S&L scandal?

America is such a lie.
