PLEASEEEEEEE
I am begging all of you to send a note to your Senators, both of them, requesting that they FILIBUSTER this bailout bill, so that 60 VOTES are needed to pass it!
Even if you are for it...
IF THERE EVER WAS A TIME TO SLOW a bill down, so that calmer minds can prevail, IT IS NOW, for this BAILOUT BILL of $700 billion!!!
There SHOULD BE 60 votes needed to pass something so humongous, soooo colossal, that will affect the very future of SS, healthcare, war capabilities, the military, a transfering of our wealth, the every day joe's wealth, to the financial corporations and banks that facilitated if not planned, the breakdown we are supposedly in....!!!
Who really benefits from all of this?
What is really accomplished by doing this?
Follow the money....
it aint us....

care | Relax. They aren't giving them all $700 billion up front. That'll buy us time to put Obama in the White House so he can stop this mess. If you vote for McCain, you may as well write them a blank check.  |

Rep Power: 12 | | | Votes 228 to 205, It seems there are some really pissed off leadership in congress at the moment. 95 Democrats and 133 Republicans Voted Nay.
