Important Update: Despite what the lying media would have you believe
about the House servers limiting emails, ALL of our email messages
are getting through, and our action pages now have a special process
in place to make sure they do go through. So keep on speaking out and
never, ever give up!
The corporate media has also been propagating the most despicable lie
about the backwards bailout we are all so opposed to, that the stock
market dropped BECAUSE the House rejected it. That black hearted and
categorical lie is just being used as propaganda to try to scare the
American people, and Congress, into taking a very bad deal.
The FACT is that the market was already down 600 points before the
vote was even taken. And then it went UP 500 points the next day
AFTER the rejection. And now that the Senate has betrayed us all by
caving in, it’s down 350 points again in one day.
Bottom line: Any bailout must be financed by the Wall Street
profiteers who created this disaster, not by those of us struggling
to earn a simple wage on Main Street. And that is why we are
demanding, with this action page, that any bailout be financed by a
nominal tax of just 1/4 of one percent on securities transactions, so
that those who speculated us into economic ruin can start to pay it
back.
It is also critically important that we AGAIN saturate all phone
lines with our protests right up until the last minute. Here are the
tollfree numbers again , 800-828-0498 or 800-473-6711, and if you
can’t get through there, here there is an instant phone number lookup
on the same action page above where you can get all their direct
lines.
Don’t EVER let them be able to say that the calls were starting to
tail off, or going the other way, because we did not make every call
we could have made. Lie, lies, and more propaganda lies to try to
lull people back into inaction.
Of course we have to do something, and relatively quickly. But the
point is to not rush pell mell into doing the WRONG thing, and
thereby just make things worse. And so far Congress has refused to
even seriously consider alternatives. Operating on timetable of being
in a rush to get out of town to campaign for reelection should be a
disqualifier standing alone, if there really is an urgent national
crisis. And whatever vague and flimsy constraints that Congress may
have added to the original dictatorial power grab are just a signing
statement away from the trash can.
Even worse, to grease this looting of the public treasury past any
member of Congress with any remaining policy courage, they have
loaded in 100 billion dollars of wish list pet projects, some
worthwhile, some most decidedly not. But if any are worthwhile they
should be passed on their own, NOT traded away for a 700 billion
dollar further policy disaster in the making.
Make no mistake. This is nothing more than quick drug fix for the
greed money junkies on Wall Street. And if we don’t do everything we
can to stop it, they’ll blow through it so fast it will make head
spin, none of the underlying problems will be addressed, and then
there will truly be no more money left to fix the real problem or
anything else. As a country, we are already mortgaged up to the hilt.
So whatever the outcome of the final vote, we need to focus
completely on job one, which is systematically replacing each and
every member of Congress who has betrayed us so completely. And that
starts by throwing everything we can throw behind the candidacy of
Cindy Sheehan, who is speaking out so valiantly against this
wrong-footed bailout, and who can remove Nancy Pelosi from Congress
by taking the congressional race in San Francisco.
Here is a donations page for for Cindy Sheehan. Many of you have
donated very generously, but many of you have NOT. And time is so
short.
And what if you don’t have any money? No excuses. Do you have a
telephone? Does it allow you to place outgoing tollfree calls? So
after you call Congress, Cindy needs phonebankers, lots of phone
bankers, now. NOW, now. Use the link on the page above to volunteer.
What Congress is being stampeded into doing, again, is EXACTLY
backwards. Would you buy a “hen protection plan” from one of the
foxes? There is a real simple solution to this whole mess. These
institutions are in trouble mostly because they were looted by their
own corporate executives. We march an army of forensic accountants in
there, and tell those Wall Street pigs that if they don’t find the
money fast they are all going to jail.
And then we file negligence and breach of fiduciary duty lawsuits
against them all, to recoup every dime that disappeared. Our dear
Secretary of the Treasury Paulson pulled down hundreds of millions
all by himself. And now he wants the American people to make up the
difference out of OUR pockets? He can practically finance the bailout
PERSONALLY. And if there were any justice in the world he would.
And let them all know, that their job description is NOT ignoring the
will of the American people.
