This entire situation has been brought about by the actions of the criminals who are supposed to be our leaders, namely George Bush and dozens of Senators and Congressman who''ve taken payoffs from the failing institutions and banks.

Here''s the list and the bribes they were paid:

On election day vote every single one of them out.

For God''s sake, wake up America - these crooks will continue to bleed us dry until we put a stop to it.

VOTE THEM ALL OUT !

"Free market economy" - Weak institutions should be allowed to fail. Stronger financial sector will result.
Steeling from the poor to give to the wealthy.
Vote against anyone who supports this travesty!

We MUST pass this bill.
I understand why people don''t want to pass the bill, but so many people don''t understand how many jobs would be lost and how many banks would go down AND how much money would be lost if this doesn''t get passed. I think we would be better off holding back funds that go to help other countries for now!

The House Republicans should reject the bailout (rescue). Government interference is the cause, not the cure, of this financial crisis. Interference with the banking system, in the form of the Community Reinvestmet Act, has led to this current situation and will lead into ever more uncertainty with the threat of increasing danger to our society. More intervention will have ever greater unintended consequences, usually worse. STOP IT NOW. Wait for the collapse. Fire all the leaders of government and and business. Then start over. Consider it to be a system reset.

This should be open to public vote. It''s our money and I don''t trust that a few representatives really have a clue as to what the majority of U.S. citizens want and/or need.

No bailouts! It won''t work. One way or another, it will end up in the hands of the rich bank executives, even though our reps. tell us of a "no golden parachute" clause.
