Does my burka make my butt look fatwa?

From C4L today:

We now need to turn our attention to getting our financial system back on its feet.

1.) End the Bailouts - Congress must revoke the Federal Reserve’s authority to bail out failed businesses at our expense.

2.) Cut Taxes and Curb Regulation - If we really want to stimulate businesses and revive the market, we need to cut corporate and capital gains taxes, spurring investors to come back to the market and making it easier to attract new workers and clients. It is also time to end failed legislation like Sarbanes-Oxley, which has crippled capital markets, diminished our competitiveness, and greatly harmed small businesses.

3.) Reduce Spending - We must freeze all non-entitlement spending by the federal government at current levels and eliminate wasteful spending both domestically and in our trillion-dollar overseas budget. Our debt has to come down, and it won’t until we start living within our means.

4.) Reform the Monetary System - If we are to have long-term economic progress, we must end the system of printing money out of thin air. The current laws limiting the circulation of gold and silver-backed currency must be overturned. We can no longer base our money on the empty promises of bureaucrats that it is sound.

The market will have to adjust, and the nation will have to deal with the effects of what the government has brought upon us, but the answer is not to weaken the dollar, continue to sell our debt and national security to China and Saudi Arabia, and socialize what remains of the American free market.

Be on ALERT.. Look at what Congressman Carter of Texas sent me:
Dear Timothy:

Thank you for taking the time to contact me regarding federal involvement in the current financial market. Your input is important to me, and I appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts.

As you may know, H.R. 3997, the Defenders of Freedom Tax Relief Act of 2007 nicknamed the Wall Street Bailout Bill, failed to pass the House by a vote of 205 to 228. I had serious concerns regarding this bill and was not prepared to commit $700 billion of taxpayer dollars to a plan with so many unanswered questions, as a result I voted against H.R. 3997.

Now that this plan has failed, I am ready and willing to go back to the drawing board and come up with a plan that won't put taxpayers on the hook for another government bailout. I also think we should see the evidence from all sides of the issue, not solely the advice from the administration.

I hope to help craft a common sense alternative to the $700 billion Bush/Paulson Bailout Plan, one that mandates Wall Street fund the recovery of the economy rather than American taxpayers.

Again, thank you for taking the time to contact me on this important issue. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future should you need any further assistance.

Sincerely,

John Carter
Member of Congress

The bailout wasn't killed; it was only delayed. If you listen to what's being said, Congress fully intends to regroup later this week and shove that bill down our throats whether we like it or not. The powerful will attempt to protect their own interests at all costs. It's very important that we maintain pressure on our representatives. If they fold in the heat of battle, we need to make sure that they pay for it on Election Day.
