stop the bailout! do something rather than nothing! thank you, for doing something.....,
Here's contact information for both houses of Congress, yes, the Senate and Congress: http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/
Tell Congress: Stop the Bailout!
Question:
Would you give any person the deed to your house, the title to your car, the guardianship of your children and place them as the executive of an Irrevocable Trust, all simply with your signature without any stipulations? This is what has already been decided last week behind closed door sessions, and now being asked of the legislative branches of our government.
This is the question that I just mailed to my Senator, Congressperson, as well as those other Congresspersons and Senators that sometimes seem to represent more than their own collective interest.
..TR> The proposed bailout being considered in Washington, DC requires people to work together to stop it and replace it with a program that is transparent, protects the interests of the American people and requires that those who profited from the high risk financial speculation pay the cost of the clean-up.The bailout needs to be part of the revitalization of the U.S. economy not a blank check for big banks.
A panic has been put in place that is causing a stampede toward a questionable solution. The bailout is being proposed without any transparency. Americans do not even know why the bailout is needed or what financial institutions deserve taxpayer support.
And, the solution put in place has no independent oversight by Congress or the Judiciary - in fact, the bill specifically says that no judicial review of decisions is allowed, stating: "Decisions by the Secretary [of the Treasury] pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency."
There is nothing in the bill that would prevent the misuse or even theft of hundreds of billions of dollars. The bill essentially requires us to put blind faith in the President Bush administration, especially Treasury Secretary Paulsen, the former CEO of Goldman Sachs, one that does understand this industry but also may have a vested interest other than ours. Whoever is becomes the new President after the Electoral College votes for them (yes, we do not vote for the President or Vice President, and there is no non-partisan voting by this body either.), they will inherit whatever mess is decided.

I believe if we don't write our congressional and senatorial representatives that we by the act of indifference give them authority to rule over us. There's only one thing that frightens these folks on Washington's hill more than the loss of their special lobbyists monies, that's the loss of their D.C. jobs.
