Why are they voting
on all this shit? They know we are bankrupt what gives them the authority to keep taking from the people, they have raped us to death and still packing it on as we speak.
A True American Once Said:
We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debt, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our calling and our creeds...[we will] have no time to think, no means of calling our miss-managers to account but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers... And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for[ another]... till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery... And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression.

House
Any chance the House will repeat what happened Monday and vote this thing down? I just emailed my representative (Boustany) and asked him to vote against this irresponsible legislation.
Constitutional Law
So whos using the Constitution writing out the warrants tonight for the piss poor excuse of a senate? Who is serving the warrant? And can WE THE PEOPLE sue them not only in Federal but also in Civil court?
Maybe OJ will get a new bunk mate.
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
Spindale-Rutherford County-North Carolina
Impeachment
Is there a vote of no confidence or impeachment we can use to get rid of our senators or is it only re-election time?
Socialism has begun
Get your passports ready. They not only added $150 B to the bill, but also added some pork, wooden arrows for kids? mental health exams for your kids? (that would make the pharmacutical companies happy), and whatever nonscence they decided to "make it more attractive". Was this a vote on a crisis or a pork roast?
This cannot pass the House.....Call your congressman every day, several times a day....but get the message through.....NO BAILOUT.
Indictments for the crooks and sell their assets to fund a bailout. Starting with Barnie Frank and Paulson!
Paulson certainly should not have a blank check, with no interference by congress as to where it is being spent.
VOTE EVERYONE OUT THIS ELECTION.

The Senate
has always been one step farther removed from reality than the House.
Senators think themselves above the law and above reproach from the common reprobate constituency that elected them. No matter. There are many more of us than there are of them, and they have no allegiance other than themselves. Let's send all of the pro bailout voters packing. They are not fit to hold office of any sort.
Now if I'm not mistaken,
Now if I'm not mistaken, right at the end there, after "mr. president" read that the Yeas have it. Then we saw a senator stand up alone and say that he voted in the majority so he wants to enact the right to reconsider the bill they just passed (the financial bailout bill) I believe this is a parlimentary manouver, by voting in the majority because you know it's going to pass, even though you really mean to vote No, you secure the right to reconsider it. I think this is right, anybody else have a better insight into this?
CALL YOUR HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES NOW
Just left a voicemail with my representative asking him to vote "NO" on Friday. I have a feeling that his voicemail box will be full by morning. I swear my Senators' left their voicemails full just so they wouldn't have to take angry calls. Get your messages in while you still can!
Economic stabilization act passed.
just saw it...
I solemnly vow
to vote against ANY incumbent on my ballot. Democrat, Republican, means nothing at this point. Getting these arrogant greedy, lying, bought off, bastards out of office, means everything.
I second that vow!
I second that vow!
third!!
a third!
So whats going on now?
All I see is just name callings. Have they voted on the bail out bill yet? Is it just me or is the sound muted, and then unmuted on and off?
I'm voting Democrat for senate
Sununu will REGRET this - I'm going to MAKE SURE he loses. And I've never voted Dimocrat in my life.... - or for a socialist but he's going to pay in votes for this.
"Many of us agree that you and I have no right to use coercion against people who don't owe us anything. The same prohibition applies to groups of people who constitute the government. The reason is simple: unjust acts do not become just when legalized. "

Please consider voting independent or Libertarian instead

But that man should play the tyrant over God, and find Him a better man than himself, is astonishing drama indeed!~~D. Sayers
There is no difference between an authoritarian government from the right or the left...F. A.Schaeffer
now that's the spirit!
...cheers to you mate...
when they twist the ideology to manipulate us,
it's time to dismantle the weapon
Feel the same way
I am just hoping the LP candidate gets some steam so I can vote for him.
Did anyone get a recording of Shelby's speech on the floor?
It was a litany of laws, oversight and regulation that had been proposed and ignored over the past several years that would have prevented or at least mitigated this financial disaster. It should be a) saved for posterity and b) sent to every Congressman.
Where can I find my senators' votes?
From Minnesota. Just curious to see how Coleman voted. I figured it'd be a yes.
Is there a list anywhere?
This bites... oh well, more calls to the reps!
Coleman& Klobachar both voted for it
food freedom,one seed at a time.
Time to boot Coleman
Alternatives?
I wonder what Al Franken's position is on the bill? I don't see him as the type that is easily bought off... misled, yes, but not sold.
Maybe I'll vote for that Independent guy... (I should probably do more research on the guy... I wouldn't want to be supporting the Lieberman-Bloomberg- 'independent' types...)
Coleman is OUT. Klobachar voted against the war... but she's still gotta go. This level of ignoring the people's will is inexcusable. She was on the radio saying that everyone was telling her to vote, NO, and yet she STILL voted yes!
anyone know how everyone else voted?
I'm guessing my senators (NY- Clinton and Schumer) voted for it but want to check on the ones from other states that I called so I can voice my disappointment with more calls.
Georgia Senators ISUCKson
Georgia Senators ISUCKson and Shameless for voted for it. (Isakson and Chambliss)
This is what happens when...
we give them top pay, the best health insurance and retirement package on the planet and allow them to associate with corproate lobbyists.
They are out of our control.
They are royalty.
We are the serfs.
This better be the beginning of revolution or I will personally buy people's houses and evict them.
I will do everything I can think of to bring pain to the 'Joe six-packs' and '401k Freddie's' in my area.
And I take ownership of their homes, and I will give them a copy of Ron Paul's book, "Revolution; A Manifesto".
Congress didn't let us down. The Senate didn't let us down. Our fellow Americans let us down. And they will pay. They should pay.

gotta love how Reid "congratulates" the senate
for being able to come together and act in a non partisan way and pass this fine piece of legislation". Screwing your constituents is ALWAYS a bipartisan , across the aisle proposal.

That Harry Reed Is Very Convincing ..
I can see why they made him majority leader. Everything he said made perfect sense. This bailout is probably a pretty good idea ..
Here is Harry at his best .. he is very persuasive
