ROUND 2...
DING!!!
CALL,CALL CALL!!!
Bumping this again
Just because I like seeing this headline in the sidebar. :)
Shall we unseat the Ayes!
We are investigating the possibility of forming a PAC to run ads opposing Congressmen who voted for the bailout. Anyone who is seriously interested in seeing this happen, either by providing funding, expertise, or time, please contact us at constituentresponse@gmail.com. If enough people are interested and funding is available, there is still time before the election to make an impact.
Poll: Did House Do The Right Thing?

Yes 48%, No 43 %
Yes, the house did do the right thing!
Keep voting to show CNBC what is right!
Freedom Rules!
Yes 49%, No 42 %

Get it to 50%
Yes We Can !
(blech...they've ruined that phrase...
and the word "Change"...pardon my fit...carry on...)
YES.
I just voted. 43% to 41% percent in favor of yes right now.
Next - How about a vote on the war?
Now that the political ruling class has seen what the citizens can do, how about mobilizing to declare victory in Iraq, bring the troops home and save $10 billion per month? The Congress was elected to do this in 2006 and has done nothing.

One sour note is reading the banker-boot-licking commentary from the Associated Press. There was once a time when the mainstream media was idiotic and liberal, but at least populist. Not any more.
SUPPORT OUR FOUNDERS' AMERICA
Support the Constitution of the United States
Even the little local stations are participating
in the fear-mongering crapola. Watching 10pm Chicago news, all 3 stations (NBC, CBS, ABC) were spewing out how the worst point loss in wall street history happend because of the bailout failure, all the bad things to come, how things need to be done "now now now now"
Wakes you up a bit to see how much the media is in bed with neocons in Washington, all the little local newscasters are even bowing down to their corporate puppet masters. Friggin pathetic.
I know I have jabbed some sharp comments in a lot of the BS conspiracy posts (9/11, chemtrails), but after watching the broadcasts I think I know how they feel.. it sucks. Anyway, I still think the 9/11 & chemtrail posts are crap but at least I can empathize with the "truthers" a bit.
Even (most of ) the "little local stations"...
...are owned by big conglomerates. Oops! there goes that conspiracy thinking, again....

WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so proud of everyone here! We all did it!
Thank you for working hard making calls, sending emails, etc.
It worked!
We've got these crooks on the run!
Let's finish 'em off!
Keep calling and protesting the bailout
This is when we can't turn our backs on the vipers.

THIS IS SIGNIFICANT...
because right now, the bAnkers and politicos are at the peak of their control!
and on the other side, a fledgling unification of groups all looking at themselves as simply AMERICANS. and transcending all the divisive labels psychologically hammered into your society: republicans, democrats, truthers, anarchists, tax-deniers, etc etc.
a singular sentiment of indignation is transcending years of psychological division and pitting against each other.
YOU GUYS BEAT THEM, on to the next round
i told you so--IF YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF THE POWER YOU COLLECTIVELY WIELD.......
Whew..
the Media is really hounding this as a bad idea.. I love how the markets are being manipulated to make it look like the vote against the bailout caused it. Round two Wednesday.. Keep those senators and representatives on speed dial. The fight has just begun.
yes
Fortune Favors the Bold
watching the media was disgusting today. But I am encouraged. It seems the majority of the public realizes that rejecting the bailout will not magically silve the economic problems, but they are rejecting the "we caused the problem, now that we're here, give us more power, and we'll deal with future problems along the way" mindset. It seems the public and some republicans are finally FED up with Bush and the big government agenda.
YES !!! I'm rooting for you every step of the way; keep it up !
Great job everyone!
Not only is there hope, there is more hope than any of us ever dreamed! They aren't powerful enough yet to enact these in the light of day, and the instant everyone got up and said "No. NO! A thousand times no!" let me tell you, the sun came up and day broke!!!
I reckon the veterans on both sides know it took at least three tries to create the federal reserve; it was vehemently opposed by the people and the politicians. The bankers had to try over and over and ultimately sneak it in just before a congressional recess (hmmm, sounds familiar...:)
We haven't heard the last of these guys; they will not accept a stalemate. They will keep trying until either we criminalize them, or they criminalize us. So far, its been a mixed battle, but now I see they are strong, but the people are immensely strong; and its late in the game, but not yet too late in the game.
Next time they try to pass this bill, they must be stopped again. And the time after that, when they try, they must be stopped again. And the time after that, they must be stopped again. And everytime they try to push a similar bill, or any of dozens of other illegal bills, over the next year, 2 years, 3,4,5 years, 10,15,20 years, they must be stopped.
But I propose we accelerate the process; get off the defensive and meet these criminals head on. Challenge them in the courts, in the media, and in the streets; and fight the cancer that they are with the same ferocity that we fought their latest symptom, the (2008 version of) the Fascism for Finance bill.
Ron Paul has showed us that we have a choice; and what's been done today has shown us that we have a voice. We no longer run and hide from the criminals and the problems they cause; now let's turn around and face them, challenge them, and throw them in jail.
Liberty. Peace. Prosperity.
Today, I am proud to be an American!
instead of feeling like an underdog nobody wants to hear from. today our common value system won. perhaps this will be the turning point in restoring our heritage. Today we "took it on the chin" like we are supposed to. Today I salute all of those who have suffered and worked for this. and those that will suffer in the future.
we are entering dark times, but by the light of our forefathers, we will find the path.

CONGRATULATIONS! from 9000miles away
WOW! I just woke up--felt like on a tie-competition on a sport. the old manipulated corporate media was trumpeting a DONE DEAL here abroad. It felt like they were winnning.
so CONGRATULATIONS again my dear Americans---you all have given the world hope to stand against the global financial banksters.
Now, the battle against the federal reserve is starting. its an even bigger enemy and an entrenched multiheaded hydra; an octopus whose tentacles reach deep in washington.
I believed in you guys so much that i was being laughed at by some of my countrymen who have given up on you. i am glad i proved them wrong. congratulations again.
Best news I've heard in a long time
For once I feel like our angry emails and calls to Congress actually meant something!
move on , NEXT batter
LET'S get a real plan working
weee
Anyone else finding the Congress email service on house.gov
is not working?
I just wrote a nice letter to Don Young thanking him, and have been trying to send it for an hour or more, with no luck!

I would commend the Dems who voted nay when Pelosi and majority leader are FOR the bailout. Congratulations to the Dems and all....to the people!!!
Beware, the latest scare
Beware, the latest scare tactic from the politicians and the MSM is your employer cannot meet "payroll" because they cannot get a loan. They want us to believe that because the bailout failed you will not receive your next paycheck. IMO, any company that needs to borrow money to make their payroll should not be in business in the first place. They are laughable -- what a bunch of idiots.
They must be a little perplexed because their brainwashing schemes are not working.
I heard about this the hard
I heard about this the hard way, when my boss BLEW UP at me in front of everyone, because I was celebrating the bailout failure.
It sucked, because I really wanted to take him apart, but he owns the company, so I shut up. But, I remember thinking "what would a company need a loan for, if they're successful, and not planning a major expansion?"
Anyway, after his little explosion, all of the sniveling ass-kissers came out of the woodwork, ridiculing our movement, and expressing their opinion on how the federal government is crucial in maintaining the economy, aiding hurricane victims, etc, etc, etc. I was intellectually gang raped by people who have the audacity to call themselves "Conservative".
Long story short, I was really broke up about it, and your comment made me feel better. So, thank you.
Sorry all, I needed to get that off my chest.
Keep celebrating...
...fellow patriot of liberty! To hell with'em.
Everything works out in the end, and you will find a way no matter what happens that person's business.
I used to work for a company like that
For less than a year. Until I got laid off. Gee, that was a surprise I didn't see coming. LOL. This was over a decade ago. Oh well, you live and learn. The first I knew there was a problem was when the boss told me he had to go sign papers to get the loan to meet payroll. He said it like it was the most natural thing; like there was nothing amiss about the state of affairs that brought him to do that.

Yes I realise the seriousness of it all, but but.. I can't help but be so proud of you all. First watched the video of Ron Paul , love he man!!!, and .. ah phew... going to have a cuppa first, too early for a celebratory glass of wine.
where are you rom hannah2?
saw the posts of newuser in a lot of threads and they were always on the attack/discredit position.
I am in Australia jc
and yeah, this newuser gets up my nose big time with his attempts to undermine all the hard work being done here.

Is outstanding. Hey were the FED holding us hostage by pulling the plug on the markets once this did not pass.

now let's just slow down, michael.
Let's not confuse this by pretending the vote went along party lines, otherwise we may just as well read The Weekly Standard.
40% of Democrats voted against it, 33% of Republicans voted for it. That's only a very weak party correlation; it probably had more to do with the makeups of their districts than what party they were in.
Don't let this great blog descend into partisan allegiance; we must keep clear heads and take each rep based on their own actions. Indeed, if I had approached the election last year with a blind party mentality, I never would have watched the Republican debates, dominated by Giuliani, Thompson, Huckabee, Romney, and McCain, and never would have been fairly introduced to Ron Paul.
Very good point sir.
I agree with you totally.. Let us help this blog ascend into the Spreading of Knowledge about Constitutional Freedoms like Dr. Paul started out doing so many years ago.
tacotank....
agree with you 100%.....I think michael should review the GOP hold line comment...it really stands out in the post....wonder why no one else noticed this....this isnt about the GOP or democrats but individuals voting with their conscience... or should I say fear of the backlash in their constituency
WOWOWOWOW!
Is this the final, final answer? No appeal???
There is HOPE after all!!!!!!!!!

This is great!
This is such great news. And just when I had lost hope. I still fear however that Bush will get this through either through legislation or executive order.
Ron Paul - House Minority Leader?
What would it take make Ron Paul the House Minority Leader?
Would there be any advantage?
I want Ron's hand on the rudder of this great country now.

We can always hope, right?

VIDEO: Ron Paul on the vote
Just posted this in another thread also. Not sure where to suggest it, sorry.
Anyways, here is a video that C4L has posted of Ron Paul on the vote.

Maybe someone could get this it's own post too.
It is TIME
we must attack the Federal Reserve NOW.
Keep calling. Mention the following words in your short but to the point attack:
Against:
central banking
keynesian economics
fiat money
Fed issuing it
For:
sound money (don't mention gold)
congress issuing it
Austrian economics
Keep saying these buzzwords over and over and over and over and over and over.
It works.
Keep the Ron Paul supporter
Keep the Ron Paul supporter buzz words out of it, and just affix blame on the Fed... support HR 2755! Time will be short.
THAT"S WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!
YAAAA BABY!

Thank God
The scary part is that it failed by such a small margin.
If the socialists in washington fiddle with the language a little they may be able to get this to pass next time through. Now is not the time to pat ourselves on the back and relax.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants
I agree,,,,
We should watch our back for another "False Flag" incident if this bill is indeed dead. When you are in your Zenith that is when you need to be most alert and be on your guard.
