As of the morning of the bail out vote in the House of Representatives, polls showed that the American people were 74% against any bail out for the Wall Street fat cats. We wanted a fix from the bottom up and not from the top down. Fix ‘Main Street’ not Wall Street we told them. They didn’t do it.
However they did agree with the bloated $700 billion the Senate passed for their greedy Wall Street friends with another $150 Billion of Pork. So now our children are on the hook for at least $850 billion and no one can tell us if it will work or will be the last.
Meanwhile, ‘We The People’ continue to lose our jobs and homes.
Our elected representatives have chosen to ignore us, ‘We The People’ whom they swore to represent.
They think we are stupid. They think we don’t have the guts to clean house. They think ‘they know better’ than we on ‘Main Street’ do.
So…
I have taken the Pledge:
I, (put your name here), will NOT vote for any incumbent in the upcoming election regardless of party. I intend to do my part in ‘throwing the bums out’ in Washington that continue spending my money on those that have wrecked our economy rather than the people who sent them there. This is my solemn pledge.
Mail this to your Representative and Senators, to all your friends and all news media, both local and national. Email this to all the talking heads on the cable outlets, Lou Dobbs, Bill O’Reilly, Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Alan Colmes, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and every talk show host you are familiar.
Urge everyone you meet to take the Pledge.
This the only way we, the American People, will ever take back our own government.
Do we have the guts? Do you???
If not, then you don’t have any right to complain if they continue to screw us over.
Brilliant. Another numbskull that likes the current situation more than they liked having a republican majority for a few years. That really taught them a lesson up there in DC. They learned that republicans would rather hang individually than hang together.
First off, why did we need a bailout and second why did we need another few hundred pages to get a couple of conservative house membeers to support the bill?

That’s what happens when the “conventional wisdom” of Washington D.C. is allowed to prevail.
