PASSED ALONG FROM ImpeachBush.org:
"Call the Senate Today
Stop Bush's "No Banker Left Behind Act"
Having
suffered a stunning defeat of their "Grand Theft Bailout" Bill on
Monday, the Bush Administration, the banks and Wall Street are now
coming back for their second try. They are used to directing the
affairs of the country regardless of the will of the people. The U.S.
Senate is expected to vote tonight, Wednesday evening, in favor of a
nearly identical version. This is intended to force the House of
Representatives to do the same when they return tomorrow, Thursday.
You
can call the Capitol Switchboard at 800-473-6711 or 202-224-3121 to ask
to be transferred to the offices of the Senators from your state.
Bush's
"No Banker Left Behind Act" was defeated because of overwhelming public
opposition. But now the politicians have come up with an easy answer.
In an unprecedented step, Congress is virtually shutting down its
incoming constituent email. They are installing the digital version of
riot police, protecting the politicians from an enraged population that
demands to be heard. Congress has acknowledged that it is receiving
millions of emails from the people of the United States, all opposing
this theft of $700 billion to be handed to the richest bankers. People
who try to send emails are likely to receive error messages and their
emails will not go through during "peak hours." Congress claims that
this is a response to the overwhelming emails to keep their server from
crashing; however, their server did not crash during the time they were
receiving the most emails and they quietly instituted this program late
Tuesday afternoon.
The U.S. Senate - this country's version of
the House of Lords - is returning to do the work of the White House in
league with the biggest bankers. Known as "millionaires club" because
of the elite status of its members, the U.S. senate is playing the same
role that the King's House of Lords played in earlier times in British
history, a political barrier created to protect the aristocracy from
the wrath of the people.
VoteNoBailout.org
is urging all of its members and supporters to call Congress, to email
them at "off peak" hours, and to come directly to the U.S. Capitol on
Thursday morning at 10 am so our voices can be heard at the People's
Demonstration/Speakout. Congress can run but they can't hide from the
wrath of the people. We won't let them.
Thursday's demonstration
will take place at 10 am on the South side of the Capitol at
Independence Ave. and New Jersey Avenues SE. For more information, see
below or go to VoteNoBailout.org.
You
