Can you believe what’s happening? Members of the Senate admitted today that the people are opposed to this bailout. One senator noted that emails have been 85-1 against the bill. Time reported recently that phone calls to representative and senators are 100-1 against the bill. But the Senate voted to pass the bill today.
So much for the Congress listening to the people. So much for a government of, by, and for the people. What do you do when they won’t listen?
Well, with the Senate passing the bill, we have to bombard the House once again. The Campaign for Liberty has made it easy: Here you’ll find a letter to cut and paste, and the contact info for all members of the House.
Of course, phone calls and faxes would be a very good thing, too. But at least do something. We need to overwhelm our representatives with opposition to this bill. Don’t buy the crisis language. We don’t have to pass this bill. If we don’t, it might be tough for a bit, but it’ll get better. If we do pass it, we’re looking at a much worse financial situation for much longer.
