It isn''t too late. Let your voice be heard!

Call your Congress member at [phone], and send an email here at www.votenobailout.org.

Contact the media as well. Flood them with emails. The media will hopefully start reporting the sentiment and it could have a change.

To date, nearly 1 Trillion dollars on bailing out AIG, Fannie/Freddie, Bear Stearns, WAMU, and other Institutions. Did this improve in the economy? These bailout only accelerated the economic downturn. Now Congress wants to fix the economy by throwing a $850 billion SELLOUT BILL at the problem, but it will only accelerate the CRASH and compound the SEVERITY of the MELTDOWN.
And to claim it will reduce taxes. I guess in a way it will because if you have no job or home you can%u2019t pay taxes. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES CONGRESS AND THE CHENEY/BUSH ADMINISTRATION. This SELLOUT BILL is causing the dead to turn in their graves. Just remember November is your chance to bend over the Idiots that voted for the Bill. Who knows the dead may rise and vote in November. VOTE IN NOVEMBER.

Worse decision being made by a Senate in US Senate history! They ALL need to be dumped. What cowardly, and self serving *** of the Wall Street barons. God help our Nation.

Look on the bright side. The delay in the market & economy crash will give us more time to stock up on food and ammunition.

Ya see, I,er, promised my base, y''know, the guys with the money fer my campaigns, that I''d, uh, make sure they didn%u2019t hafta pay fer their, uh, unfortunate choices ''cause that''s not the %u2019Merican way. Y''see, those who aren''t fer keepin'' my base happy with the big tax cuts they like an'' the special treatment they get that let''s them make big piles a money is votin'' against their intrests. Y''see, if they don''t get really, really, really rich, even though they maybe, uh, made some, er, I mean, made the unfortunate choices I mentioned before, won''t have enough to trickle down all over the rest of you folks.

So let yer Congressman vote fer the bailou.., I mean rescue plan. And get ready to be trickled on by everyone of my supporters.

And God bless %u2018Merica

There are NO pills the public can swallow, there are only pills that the public MUST Swallow.

Once again, the public will pay for the avarice, mismanagement and incompetence (Senate,Congress included) of others.

And so it goes.

[tibu987]

I oppose the bailout in any form.

Let the chips fall where they may.
A recession or depression will allow the country to regain its position with time and in better shape.
Allow nominal mortgage payments until it gets sorted out.

Many Wall Street and mortgage companies made hundreds of millions of dollars in their usurious positions and took obscene salaries and bonuses, some in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

I do not want to see them rewarded for their avarice and mismanagement, or Congress for their incompetence.

Let''s keep in mind that had the lawmakers, i.e., Congress, been doing their job this bailout would never have happened.
Now, they want to be heralded as our saviors, b-lls-it.

Can there be yet more disasters and disgraces that the Bush cabal can give us?

Yes, things could get even worse. One way would be to vote for McCain/Palin and guarantee four more years of the same.

Almost makes one forget about the messes in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistant doesn''t it?
Almost.

The bailout is like rewarding the fox for killing the chickens and many of the foxes are in Congress and the Senate.

Do you really want to reward the very people who caused this disaster by bailing them out?

This is one of the biggest insults ever to be laid on the average American taxpayer who, in reality had nothing to do with causing it. They went for the carrot because it was offered them by leeches who stood to make much more money by doing so.

I strongly concur. Let the streets flow red with a French-styled revolution against the wealthy, the corporate execs (past and present), the lobbyists (past and present), the politicians (past and present), and all members of Wall Street. We ain''t gonna take it no more!!!
