Opinion piece on Bailout in today's SF Chronicle (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/09/23/ED0J132MOV.DTL)


Please spread far and wide, this writer is calling for a General Strike.


Our government and its owners appear to be testing how much the American public will tolerate. A few years ago, no one could have imagined that the silent majority would quietly accept thefts of this magnitude from a government that stopped tiny payments to single mothers with poor children in the name of welfare reform because the program's $10 billion cost was breaking the federal budget.

This isn't socialism, it's fascism.

Our enemy has revealed itself, and it is our own government. The concentration of such outrageous power in government - the power to take the equivalent of half our annual federal budget and give it to anonymous investors - is nearly reaching the point at which it may not be revoked.

Because the American public has not been introduced to methods for controlling its government for generations for generations, I will suggest one called a general strike. This fundamental democratic power is where everyone decides to send a message to the government by not going to work, to school, shopping, nowhere.

I made my calls to our rep's today. Got through easily. It should have been a busy call with people calling in saying NO.

Somebody needs to set the strike date quick before they pass this toxic waste they want to dump on all of us.

Like it needs to be Thursday, but how do you get all do it by then?

Agree with OP, except for the strike part.

About half work for the government or a contractor supplying the beast. Many are unemployed, and others that are underemployed need to keep the cash coming in to the point that even a single day will hurt. Out of the remaining workforce, only a few would go on strike while the rest continue slaving along... in ignorance and fear.

We need a savior like Ron Paul to set us back on the path of Liberty.

Unfortunately, the siren song from the next dictator to come along will be hard to resist by the "democratic majority".

No one said Liberty came without a price.

Does someone here have access to C4L. This message should be sent up the ranks.
