In his most recent campaign update BJ Lawson is asking people to sign the petition to "stop the bailouts" at http://nocashfortrash.org
Everyone as of the writing of this we are close to defeating the monstrosity, but as we know this bill ain't dead until the snakes go home for campaigning.
Please -
Visit the site and sign the petition - http://www.nocashfortrash.org
Digg spread the word by Digging - http://digg.com/politics/No_Cash_for_Trash_Say_No_to_1_8_Trillion_in_Bailou ts

We're making progress.
After my opponent's stunning performance on the Bill LuMaye show, many of you called and visited his office this morning to oppose the Bernanke/Paulson "No Bank Left Behind Act". Interestingly, it appears that folks working in my opponent's office decided it wasn't a good day to be around as a result.
Reports came in of no one answering the phones in the Durham office, with no way to leave a message. The Chapel Hill office was locked and dark, with a note on the door saying that staff was having meetings "outside the office." That was my experience when I dropped by at 11am -- as a constituent, not a candidate -- to express my concerns.
I was a bit taken aback by the lack of staff accessibility on this critical day in our nation's history. I was also impressed by those who came before me and left notes taped to the office door -- so impressed that I opened up my MacBook and took a quick YouTube video of the experience:
David Price: Nobody Home
Clearly, this is not a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
The good news, though, is that the supposed "deal" for a bailout appears to have fallen apart. Keep up the pressure, and let's see if we can find a way to protect Americans. Oh, and by the way, Washington Mutual failed tonight -- that's the biggest bank failure in history, surpassing Continental Illinois, but fortunately the FDIC orchestrated a firesale to JP Morgan Chase.
Finally, I invite you to join me at a new transpartisan site, www.nocashfortrash.org, to state your opposition to taxpayer-financed bailouts and follow the evolving crisis. It's a great portal for real-time news and Twitter feeds on the crisis. While you're there, be sure to use the Digg and reddit links to raise awareness!
Oh, and one more thing -- if you have any accounts with balances in excess of FDIC deposit limits... please, make a generous donation to our campaign today! :-)
Sincerely,
William "BJ" Lawson
