Act Now, Say No To Paulson Plan, Yes To Sanders Plan
Advertisements [?]
It is very likely Congress will shove a Paulson Plan down our throats and expect us to bail out the fat cats who manufactured this economic disaster. This could be decided by Monday as they are working through the weekend to handle this "emergency" (do the right thing for their banking bosses, not for us).

I am using my friend's letter below to urge people to sign on to the Sanders Plan which will alleviate much of the burden off of us tax-paying little folks. Please sign on at the link and send the info out to all your contacts. I am posting this on a few websites as well. This is a really big situation and if there is any chance we can keep them from going with the Paulson (snake) plan then we need to act now.

Thanks!



We are in the midst of an economic crisis. Decisions are being made in Congress this weekend that will affect us for decades to come. The Wall Street bailout not only transfers debt from the super rich to average Americans, it won't solve the problem. Here is an excellent explanation of why that is so:

It is imperative that we take action right now to pressure our Senators and Representatives to do the right thing, and to not cave into the Bush Administration's demands.

Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont has an excellent plan. Please go to this page and read about his plan.

Sign the letter he links to. Then, most importantly, contact your Senators and Representatives immediately and urge them to adopt his plan. Monday will be too late. You may find their voicemail boxes are full, or they don't accept messages. Try email. Contact them every way you possibly can. Contact them now, and urge everyone you know to do so also. Please feel free to forward this email, or use any part of it you wish.

Thank you,
