NO Bail out of any type for any one. The people are watching. A list is being complied for those who vote for a bail out. These people will work against your reelection. If a non recorded vote is taken we will look at your stance before the vote and act accordingly. you took an oath to support and defend the Constitution? This and any bailout with public money is unconstitutional. Will you abide by your oath, the constitution, and the majority of the people. we are watching.

If there are no other choice

If there are no other choice for the election, even if we do not want the existing representatives, won't they still win even by only 7% voting for them. Do we have a choice. Who are the choices I have in Iowa for senate and representatives for the coming election?

MY FINAL NOTICE TO CONGRESS...

NO BAIL OUT OF ANY KIND!!!

LET THEM FAIL!!

A YES VOTE WOULD SOLIDIFY YOUR DEPARTURE FROM PUBLIC SERVICE!

!!Support and cosponsor HR 2755!!

Why pay a private corporation (Federal Reserve)
Interest to print our money when we can print it
Ourselves interest free and charge them interest to borrow?

My plan deserves consideration for the benefit of the taxpayer.

1) Insure individual deposits especially retirement accounts.

2) Seize the mortgages; eliminate the interest and level out the principal to be paid in equal monthly installments respective to current contract time obligations.

3) Abolish the Federal Reserve!!

4) Credit cards should be frozen and paid in a set amount monthly or forgiven as they are Ultra Vires (Void) contracts anyway.

5) Pull our military out of 90% of the world and bring them back to the U.S. and get out of the wars!

This would stimulate the economy and save lives!!

Thank You,

LET'S turn up the HEAT and get our STATE GOVERNMENTS involved

I have contacted my state Gov / Delegate and Senator. The State GOVERNMENTS need NOT get off the hook EITHER!! If all 50 STATE governments need to be PUT ON NOTICE too. The states NEED to revolt and join the US citizens against this bailout.

Here's my letter to my state Reps (feel free to use modify for you use if it helps):

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
RE: Oppose $700B Bailout

A stronger message than US individual constituents persuading the Congress from passing this disastrous BAILOUT atrocity against the US citizens and the give-away to Financial Organizations is seriously required. The financial and mortgage firms have taken the profits; now they need to work out the losses as well. Free handouts are NOT going to fix the economy and hard work/scaling back to manageable means are the only logical solutions.

I ask that you strongly oppose this bailout for all of Virginians. Bring to bear Virginia's State strength to prevent this bailout. This insanity of appropriating funds, that do not exist and can we can ill afford, must stop. Our government’s complacency to run roughshod over our constitution and disregard the will of all Americans will cause more turmoil than financial ones.

I look forward to your strong leadership to make clear to President Bush and the US Congress that Virginians will not stand for rewarding criminal activity of financial institutions and then bailing them out. NO bailout of any kind is acceptable to Virginians or the American public.

Thank you for your service to our great state of Virginia.

Saturday message to the populace.

I put a bumper sticker on my truck today that says "Hey Wall Street, live free or die, baby!"

Yeah, it's homemade but then again, this is a grass roots effort.

Rescue Plan LOL

My congressman (who's rabidly for war) actually has my back on the bailout issue. Unfortunately, it seems KBH doesn't. My letter to Texas senators reads:

I've shared my viewpoint with the office of my congressional representative with regard to this ridiculous bailout (now laughably called a "rescue plan") but this is the first I've written you on the matter. I'm sure the debates are contentious however it is now being reported that y'all are close to a deal and I'm worried that the pro crowd is trying to slam something through while most Americans are watching football and before the Asian market opens. I also know that you are working until the wee hours and are likely exhausted so I want to implore you to stand firm with Ron Paul, Louie Gohmert and others against any sort of bailout. And, it would be great if you could call it what it is: state sanctioned theft. After all, this making fuzzy of the English language is just one of this country's problems.

There's no need for any response.

Warmest regards,

Ron Paul represents me!

I wrote my e-mails this morning too. I told my Idaho reps that Ron Paul represents me and I would like them to stand behind him in opposition to the bail-out, because Ron Paul is RIGHT. I told them that RP predicted this and knows how to fix it.

A Private Vote???!!!!

The person I spoke with wishes to remain nameless, I can respect that...they work for an office they hate but said..a job is a job..and he had to feed his family and pay his bills just like the rest of us...But heres the important part...

He said there will be 2 votes.
Vote #1 will be where it looks like our so called government, is struggling with the problem..to bailout..or not to bailout
Vote #2 will only be a few choice people from government. They will and he believed already have, voted on the bailout..and he believes it will pass.
Bush and others, are making threats left and right if they do not agree.
The threats are going from things like:
Putting a strangle hold on each state Rep that votes against him..that state will then pay a price..no Federal help..(housing...monthly checks..food stamps..all things people do depend on..gone)
Marshal law in those states
Military take over of the state capitols

Are you ready for that? I am..Hey if their going to kill me..my problems are over...Its the only way I can look at it.

Freedom is another way to God...A corrupt government is a straight way to hell.

I believe in Hope & Change..I Hope the government will Change

WE THE PEOPLE WILL HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL IGNORANCE & FACT OF BEING A TRATOR TO WE THE PEOPLE!

similar story here

Got hold of my rep's office staff and left my message with a human. Both senators (boxer, feinstein) are doing the "closed office leave voicemail". Left VM at Boxer's fresno office - her DC and both Feinstein's DC and SF offices have full mailboxes.

So looks like they're getting saturated.

= = = =
"Obama’s Economists: ‘Stimulus’ Has Cost $278,000 per Job."

That means: For each job "created or saved" about five were destroyed.

Report from Washington State - Called Sat. AM

Spoke with an aide to Congressman Adam Smith
Recorded my "No Bailout" vote and his aide mentioned they had received 1100 calls in the last 5 days. Was told I would get an email back today and probably another on Sunday expressing Adam's concerns.

Left a voicemail on Senator Cantwell's voicemail saying "No bailout and End the Fed."

Could not leave a voicemail in Senator Murray's box because it was full.

Emailed all of them again.

Must keep track of how our polticans vote

However this mess turns out we have to keep a running tab on which politicians voted for the bail out if it comes to a vote.

If they vote yes then they do not deserve to their seat in congress and should therefore be removed. Either kicked out of office, actively defeated in their next election bid or if possible brought up on charges if we can find something that will stick.

I've tried to keep threats to a minimum in my letters because this isn't personal against any one politicians but I've reminded them that if they vote 'Yes' and another great depression gets started, that I will have nothing but time on my hands to make their political careers hell.

Watch: they'll do a voice vote

I'll bet you anything they'll vote for this bill --

aside: WHAT BILL? There's still no bill on this!! /aside

-- by voice vote rather than by roll call, so as to protect the identities of the "yea" voters.

So tell 'em you want a recorded vote, too.

Rules are the same on both sides:
- Any senator or rep can ask for a recorded vote. (Senate: "roll call". House: "electronic means" will do - they have three ways.)
- It is normally seconded and a recorded vote held out of courtesy, but
- If 1/5 of the senators/reps present second it the recorded vote must be held.

So tell your senator/representative that this is a very important issue, if any bailout passes you want a recorded vote so you know who voted for or against it, and if there's a voice vote you'll consider any senator or representative who isn't on record as calling for or seconding a call for a recorded vote to have voted aye.)

When calling your

Representative and Senators, you also need to give them an alternative to this mess. Refer them to this link. He is willing to fly to Washington and testify before Congress until oath as to why he thinks his plan will work.

Point of Contact Listing

I would like to recommend that when we email our family, friends and acquaintances and ask them to contact their Senators and Congressman; we make it as easy as possible for them by including a link or links to sites that contain contact information. The easier we make it for someone to write an email, the more likely it is that they will actually do it. One good source for contact information is http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/ (I am sure that there are many other sources).

Where is Dick Cheney?

I don't mean to be off topic here but, Can someone tell me where Dick is? Maybe he's real busy with those meetings.

I get scared when I don't see Dick!

ZigiMe.com

In truth,

Cheny's working hard

Cheney was last reported threatening and bullying congressmen on the phones...

"...Vice President Dick Cheney were reportedly on the phone Friday trying to lobby support from the GOP" - from trash news: http://www.ktuu.com/Global/story.asp?S=9083271

Cheney secures his going away?

"President Bush yesterday signed legislation giving Vice President Dick Cheney and future vice presidents six months of Secret Service protection after they leave office. Since Hubert Humphrey left office in 1969 it has been common practice for the White House or Congress to extend temporary protection, usually for half a year, to former vice presidents. The measure Bush signed makes it permanent law. (AP)"

From various snippets at: http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/09/27/four_c...

So he's off?

DoubleThink?

TripleThink, anybody?

Ain't this

The truth...

"Obamney care," Nuff said.

Keep up the calls this weekend and next.

They are going to try and wear us down, they will use every kind of fear tactic you can think of. They want to pass this before the election, we have to keep on top of this and not let it happen. The end of the FRN is sure, but we don't want more debt. Don't accept deals and don't allow them to transfer the debt out of paper. We need real money again to compete openly with the FRN.
By the way, get your money out of JPMorgan and put it into your own personal bank, be sure to exchange it for real American money, silver and gold. Get stocked up on food and supplies. Work together with family and friends to protect your neighborhoods, cut back on energy consumption, walk, ride a bike, carpool, take the bus, stay at home.

Great Post

Thanks for all your efforts.

It's working!!!

Hey guys i wanted to thank all of you for keeping us informed, I just called all of my representatives and of course they are not taking calls or the line is busy. I was able to get a hold of one of my representatives and he has stated that he is oppsed to the bailout, the calls are working lets keep calling and keep the heat on . I will continue to get thru to them and continue to email them.

Stand

Important change...

There are several grammatical changes that should be made to the letter, but I feel the most important is the following.

In the beginning of your letter, you wrote "Please do not vote for ANY bailout package...". Litterally speaking, this tells them that you do not want them to vote at all, and gives your reps the option of abstaining, or voting "present" which is unacceptable, because it gives them the opportunity to weasel out of deciding to take a stand one way or the other, in an effort to kiss ass on both sides of the issue.

It should be changed to read "It is my desire that you vote 'NO' for ANY bailout package...". This sends the clear message that you want them to take a stand and OPPOSE the bailout.

The voting rules really need to be changed. Our elected officials must not be allowed to cast anything but a "YES" or "NO" vote. Allowing them to do otherwise simply encourages laziness, indecision, and cowardice, and I for one am NOT paying them to be lazy, indecisive, or cowardly.
