WHAT TO DO IF THE BAILOUT PASSES
If this bill passes we all need to FLOOD our state Governor’s offices with emails, faxes, and phone calls to demand that they call an emergency session of the state legislatures (if yours is not in session right now as Oklahoma’s is not) and once they are sitting we demand votes of NO CONFIDENCE in the US CONGRESS. Additionally we demand the legislatures to draft a constitutional amendment REPEALING the bailout bill and BARRING the congress from ever bailing out another private entity ever again. Remember folks one of the ways to get a Constitutional Amendment passed is to go directly to our state legislatures and to get 2/3 of them to call for the amendment.
It is time to get serious people. A vote for this bailout is tantamount to declaring open hostilities on us and we must meet political force with OVERWHELMING POLITICAL FORCE.
The states need to get ready for a fight!

how governor of CA answered my email about this
this is the reply to my email requesting an emergency session of the state government to declare the bail out unconstitutional. What a joke.
Thank you for writing to Governor Schwarzenegger about federal bailouts of
financial institutions. The Governor appreciates hearing from people like you
who care about the future of our great state.
The issue you have written about is federal in nature and falls outside of the
Governor's jurisdiction. Our office suggests you contact U.S. Senator Dianne
Feinstein on this matter at the following address:
The Honorable Dianne Feinstein

You may also wish to contact your U.S. Congressional Representative. To find
out whom your local Representative is, please visit www.house.gov/writerep.
Again, thank you for writing and voicing your concern on this important issue.
Sincerely,

Be thrifty.
Now is the time to really take Ron Paul's advice. He has been correct all along. First, get your debt paid off, do not go out and buy a car, house or large amounts of food and gold. What about a student loan? I would suggest you try to work your way through school, what is the hurry? What good does it do you to take on all that debt with no job guarentee only to work and pay for it later. Remember Credit/debt equals slavery.
In order for this bailout to raise money (FRNs) the government will now have to finance the debt with T-bills, but what if the government is unable to sell more Treasury bills? What if China and Japan begin to sell? Won't the Treasury be forced to mint money? Then we would have a commodity backed currency, although copper isn't my idea of the best, it is still better than paper debt.
Seems to me that if we want to take power away from the elite who benefit from the Federal government, then people need to stop holding and investing in T-bills and put wealth in their own bank. An investment in T-bills empowers the elitists controlling the Federal government. Remember T-bills are just paper, just like FRNs. Withdrawling our investment is their biggest fear. Holding onto T-bills locks up dollars as they say. I suggest investing in something other than T-bills such as your local economy, food, supplies, silver and gold. These items stimulate our economy and the individual is empowered. But, what the hell do I know?

Good idea, here is another one:
I read on the CfL website that senators may be recalled in 18 States! They are Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington and Wisconsin.
I heard on BBC they say 10 R no voters and 5 D who voted NO on Monday, may well votes yes today. This will of course provide the majority for the yes vote. Hopefully some yes voters of Monday may vote No today, due to the changes.
Call now your governors office

Bills can be abolished
without a Constitutional amendment. However, I do feel that there should be a lawsuit filed. And just maybe it would make to the Supreme Court where it would be more than likely be considered Unconstitutional.
That is if the judges still believe in the US Constitution?
there is a lawsuit that is
there is a lawsuit that is currently filed that is not being heard by the federal courts because they arent sure they have any jurisdiction to do so. check out 'we the people' website for more details.

That's a start.
Make people aware that there are others who are pissed about this!
I have been responsible...
I've studied personal finances, I learned how to make my dollar go further, I spend less than I earn, I have no debt other than my home - and I am on track to pay it off early. I am self employed and have a medical savings account. I have an emergency fund if an emergency comes up - I have no reason to borrow money in the future, I have removed financial risk to the best of my ability.
And if this passes - why should I continue to to be responsible? When irresponsibility is rewarded in such gross fashion, it further erodes my little fantasy I have of living in a free country - when money can be taken from me by force, to pay for others and their desire to get rich quick, without considering the risk involved, and then expecting all of us to pay for their folly.
It's like a knife to my spirit.
It makes me want to move to Galt's Gulch.

If it passes or doesn't
If it passes or doesn't pass, there won't be any national emergency, in my opinion. Regardless, we should all be stocking tangibles anyway--food, water, metals, etc.
SUPPORT OUR FOUNDERS' AMERICA
Support the Constitution of the United States
Actually
There will be a national emergency if they vote for this bill. The only question is will we be able to get the word out to our fellow Americans in an effort to get them to finally rise up and do something now that they are finally paying attention. We need the masses who are about to get crushed to use the federalist system our founders built to fight back against this federal oppression. If enough states unite against this legislation we can strike it down and strike a decisisve blow for liberty in the process.

I have been posting this same thing for 2 weeks
It may be a little more difficult to get the number of states needed but I think state reps are more aligned with out concerns. Make sure they know that the state budgets are impacted just as much as individuals by the inflation larceny this will bring.
Although we need to be careful. If a constitutional convention is called they can add and subtract whatever they want. Could be go or bad. But a single amendment would not be so overreaching.

Seriously, people, we have a great suggestion put forth here.
by RJ Harris and y'all need to listen up!
Time is precious and we have a window of opportunity of a couple of days here.
Our action on this may be what is required to steer us in the right direction.
I am truly sorry for posting over and over but the damn link to this page would not post. I did not know this until someone pointed it out.
As far as I can tell by the 'inaction' and the business of 'clap trap as usual' on the Daily Paul, it seems the mind control by the puppet masters have had a great affect on most of you!
C'mon people, get with the program. Michael Nystrom has created a great tool if we use it to its highest potential!
A post like this one from RJHarris just passes you by, while negative, and blah blah posts keep you all hypnotized. Snap out of it. We were gifted with many talents, each of us. Let's use them. This post of his is truly a gift.
No, you are not dumb. No, this is not difficult, just honest work. We can all do this. It is doable. There are potentially thousands of us that post here I think.
If we each connect with our Ron Paul campaign leaders from each State and pass this on to them. We can get something happening shortly. Something we can all be proud of!!! And I know that DPers thrive on this.
Lets get to work!

My letter
I just sent the following to the Gov of OK and to all the Ron Paul Republicans in OK.
Governor Henry,
I ask you to call for an emergency session of the state legislature (since they are currently out of session) if this bailout passes the congress tomorrow. I will be asking all Oklahoma Ron Paul Republicans and all other citizens to call/write/email you and ask the same thing. If this treason on us passes tomorrow, we want a no confidence vote in the US Congress from our legislature BEFORE the November elections. Yes, that includes Tom Cole and Tom Coburn. Further, we want our legislature to join the call for a constitutional amendment preventing all future private sector bailouts with public money. As you know, one way to get an amendment through is if 2/3 of the state legislatures demand it from congress.
This will be the first of I hope many emails making this request upon your office.
Cheers,
RJ Harris
Norman, OK

I am on to it. I am firing off an email and preparing a
hand delivered letter to our Governor in Minnesota for tomorrow. I'll use your suggestion RJ Harris, if you don't mind?
We have to act smart here and take great advantage of our option.
You know, if we each do our part, we can co-ordinate this throughout the entire United States!!!
There are great odds that this may reverberate across party lines, ideologies, class, race, religions. It just takes some of us to get the ball rolling and then........
As American citizens it is our duty and our right to TRY everything the founders left for us.
Remember, they thought of just about everything. They were dealing with all the same nasty tyrants we have today, nothing has changed in that regard, just different technology.
Imagine, if we could channel this outrage through the RIGHT legal/political processes, we will all be acting from a very powerful place of power instead of falling into the trap of inciting their stupid police state!
If we seek the right path here, I trust we will find it!
WHAT WOULD THE FOUNDERS DO?
If we contacted our Ron Paul campaign leaders in each state,
and all those we are inter-connected with throughout our precincts, conventions etc. and direct them to help plan this here on the Daily Paul Forum, we might have a pretty good chance of creating a citizens revolt with the idea of making our voices heard. I have no experience with this but for what its worth we may demand the following, while certainly allowing for other suggestions:
1) Overwhelming vote of no confidence in our leaders
2) We the people demand 'sound' money, not inflated fiat money
3) We demand our leaders uphold and obey our Constitution or they should be forcibly removed from office!
4) We will not take out 'infinite' loans in our great grandchildrens' names for the sake of criminal extortionists in our government!
5) We overwhelmingly nominate Dr. Ron Paul and all those elected leaders who support and understand Austrian Economics be immediately appointed to positions of Secretary of the Treasury as his advisers
People, we have to reach all those who have legal expertise on this so we can truly pull this off and learn a thing or two or three in the process!
This is what I sent out to my connections:
Let's put our heads together people and create a plan. Somebody on Daily Paul suggested the following if the Bailout passes the House on Friday. Go here:
http://www.dailypaul.com/...
We need people who have some good knowledge of our bicameral system procedures for a citizens revolt! The ball is going to be in ALL our courts, 3.3million citizens across this country, less all those who wanted this mayhem.
If you have suggestions, guidance, ideas please bring this to the Daily Paul. Sign on as a member of the forum. We need a central place to plan.
Perhaps, those campaign leaders for Ron Paul in each State (they have the email addresses of all of us) can help with the dissemination of the best plan.
It's all up to us now. I say we need to maintain our moral, legal ground here and not lose our cool.
(Damn, I wish I studied law instead of Art! LOL)
talk to your neighbors
Also, talk to your neighbors about item 2. "We the people demand 'sound' money, not inflated fiat money"
Today I discussed how allowing competition in currencies could avoid a mess like this in the future. People could freely use money backed by gold/silver/whatever and not worry what was happening with interest rates on the dollar. They listened to me, though it takes time for this to sink in. Start now.
my letter to California governor
Dear Governor,
Due to the fact that the senate just passed the bailout bill despite opposition from the taxpayors, I want to demand that you call an emergency session of the California state legislature and once they are sitting demand votes of NO CONFIDENCE in the US CONGRESS. Additionally we demand the legislatures to draft a constitutional amendment REPEALING the bailout bill and BARRING the congress from ever bailing out another private entity ever again. Remember, one of the ways to get a Constitutional Amendment passed is to go directly to our state legislatures and to get 2/3 of them to call for the amendment.
It is time to get serious. A vote for this bailout is tantamount to declaring open hostilities on us and we must meet political force with OVERWHELMING POLITICAL FORCE.

if I could??
will chg the state and send to our governor

Thank you Dr. Ron Paul for teaching us
★★★Chuck Baldwin★★★ says, Dr. Paul
excellent response; I'll send a similar
letter if the bailout passes the House vote Friday or whenever. We still have a day to fight that first.
NICE
Strength and Honor
I absolutely support an emergency session!!!!!!
Thank you so much for this post. This is brilliant.
Beyond a doubt, this is THE next step we the people can channel our REVOLT!! While all this back and forth is going on, we really, really have to be careful not to lose our cool.
We are being watched all over the world, people. Over 6 Billion people around the globe must see that we, citizens, are all doing everything we possibly can through our political system, otherwise, are we worthy of 'freedom' from tyranny? Was our system and its philosophy of 'self evident' sovereign rights, our Constitution, and Bill of Rights flawed? Or, was it because there were an overwhelming number of Congress, Senate, and White House officials who failed to uphold and defend its oath to our Constitution? Just who do these 'majority' of people place their allegiance anyway, if it is not for this countries laws?
Dammit, who wrote this illegal bill and all the other illegal bills since 9/11?
If we all decided to go to D.C. with our guns etc, what would that really accomplish?. Would we live to fight another day?
I say, no matter how angry and frustrated we are, we have to fight for 'moral' and 'legal' ground to gain our power. These creeps have it rigged with their police state martial law.
OK. So, its going to take people who understand our bicameral system like the back of their hand. Do we have people that know these rules right now in our group?
We have to have a plan A, plan B etc during this process. I am a newbie as a State delegate, but I am willing to learn really fast.
Does anyone know where we go to study the 'processes' like these? Is it our law libraries? State capitols? I'll go there and crash course on how to do this as a citizen, but where do we start?
By overwhelming our State legislatures en masse, calling for a type of referendum repealing this illegal bailout, a vote of no confidence in the U.S. Congress, should get the ball rolling. We have till Friday when the house votes. If it passes the house, the BALL WILL BE IN OUR COURT!
While we are at it, we might as well demand the charge of 'treason' of the president, the vice president(where is Dick anyway?), the secretary of the treasury, chairman of the Fed, those who wrote such a bill, along with all those who want it passed. Figuaratively, heads have to roll here.
I agree we need to exhaust every legal recourse;
Maybe we need to work up a fund for a team of crack constitutional lawyers; I wonder if Campaign for Liberty might help.
