What have you done to stop the bailout?

[Austin]

Just a quick poll to see what all the forum dwellers have done so far.. If the poll isn't there, just give it a couple minutes.

[tekkierich]

I called my Representative and told his office that I strongly encourage him to vote against this bill.

If he supports a bail out plan, I told his office that I will, as his Republican opposition, make this the NUMBER ONE ISSUE in our campaign.

I have prepared advertising as such and it is ready to run within a matter of hours after a vote.

Please contribute tonight, http://www.richardmatthews.org/donate and help me expose more voters to the differences in a "Ron Paul" style Republican and a Liberal Democrat that rewards Wall Street Criminals.

Other, as i am canadian.

I have been preparing to confront some of our Candidates on the NAU, when they visit my area. First one is next week :D

Expect youtubes.

But yea... you americans need to hound your representatives non-stop!

[DFF]

Called and e-mailed -- and a rep of my rep called me back and said "they" were against it.

[Truth Warrior]

Other: Since I have NO representatives, for decades now, I have actively worked against the jerks, idiots, weasels, bastards and ass holes, etc. ( AKA politicians ) that are pulling off the bailout, by neither supporting nor voting for them. ;)

[enjerth]

I called each senator once, called my congressman twice, and emailed each of them 4 times in the last week. I'll probably email them all again tomorrow again.

Operation Pink Slip Mail-In Campaign - Let Congress Know What's In Store For THEM For A Change!

Call To All Americans that are SICK TO DEATH of all the corruption infesting our government, to participate in the Fire Congress "Pink Slip Mail-in Campaign."

No matter what you do to voice your displeasure with what our so-called representatives in government are doing, it's only as effective as the consequences our representatives suffer for not doing what we've hired them to do . . . represent US. For example, you can write them, fax them, camp outside their offices but the sad fact is your representatives are only wondering one thing . . . "OR WHAT? What are you going to do to me if I don't do what you want?"

The reason we are never taken seriously, the reason we are always ignored is simply because there are no real consequences for ignoring us. There is no criminal penalty for violating their oath of office. So we need to remind everyone exactly what the consequence are for violating our trust and the oath of office. WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE "REALLY" GOING TO DO. WE HAVE TO TELL EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM WE ARE GOING TO VOTE YOU OUT OF OFFICE YOU BASTARD! That's OR WHAT! And we actually have to follow through with it!

So you see, the real problem isn't the Congress. The real problem is US. We never hold any of them accountable. We just keep allowing them to be reelected over and over and over. We NEVER FOLLOW THROUGH WITH OUR THREAT.

The powers-that-be know full well that the likelihood of us forming the united front required to vote them out of office is about as likely as the Central Bankers forgiving all the debt they've enslaved humanity under and declaring a Jubilee. The powers-that-be are totally convinced they have socially conditioned us to such a degree that they believe we are literally incapable uniting over anything. And even if we start to, they know they can fractionalize us and destroy our focus with a snap of their fingers by throwing out a few political footballs. We fall for their tricks every single time.

Until we prove them wrong, until we prove we can stop bickering and fighting over whatever they determine will best stir the pot, and wake up to the false left/right paradigm nonsense, they will be absolutely right. They have no reason to fear us. Until we REALLY vote the bastards out of office EN MASS, we will never be taken seriously, we will never be paid attention to and our yelling and complaining is backed by nothing more than a hollow, pathetic threat to hold them accountable at the polls.

SO, we're proposing a new tactic be added to the mix. It's time for the American people to make it very clear what's in store for our current representatives for a change with Operation Pink Slip. Everyone who loves this country needs to download this Pink Slip, print out a bunch of them on bright pink paper, give them to all your friends and family and everyone must mail them into their Representatives and Senators. We need to flood Congress with PINK SLIPS. We need to bury them in them!

The basic idea is to get MILLIONS of us to mail these slips into our Congressmen and Senators on the same days. The next date to mail in en mass is:

October 11, 2008

Mail them EN MASS and bury Congress in Pink Slips! In the meantime, feel free to mail them in randomly. Having pink slips show up now, randomly, regularly, will be a great prelude to the mass mailings that are on the way. Our so-called representatives are masters at keeping us freaking out all the time. Don't you think it's time to put the pressure on them, to freak THEM out for a change? Wouldn't it be great to make them feel insecure from now through November, knowing we mean business this time and the jig is up!?

You don't even need to include your return address if you don't want to. You can send them totally annonymously. The main idea is to flood Congress with them.

And we ask that you send copies to all your local media outlets too, to let them know this is happening, so they can't ignore it like they ignore everything else.

We need to do more than just yell at Congress. We need to let them know they WILL be held accountable and how we are going to do it. We need to let them know we are going to FIRE THEM. BOOT THEM. And let them know their demise is imminent before the fact. We need to hit back and hit back hard in the only way open to us. We need to vote all these traitorous criminals out of office in November and we need to let them know loud and clear that this is exactly what we are going to do.

THEN WE ACTUALLY DO IT IN THE UPCOMING ELECTION! Until we actually follow through with the threat, on a scale that will actually be felt, we will NEVER be taken seriously and we will never have any say over anything of consequence. If we do this just once, the whole political landscape will change for the better. The balance of power will shift back to our side of the equation for a change.

NOTE: Some people have mentioned that the Capital no longer opens mail because of the anthrax issue. I called and they do in fact open mail. They simply screen "ALL" mail now before it gets to Congress, so it takes twice as long to get to them.

It's really nice to know we have world support. All Freedom lovers unite.

[Dorfsmith]

Called and emailed for three days and got a bunch of friends and family to do the same.

[Austin]

Bump

[forsmant]

I emailed and have not heard back. I assume they are against it based on their votes on the Fannie and Freddie bail out. Lee Terry and Chuck Hagel.

[jlaker]

I called my rep twice and told him to vote no on any bail out plan. I tried to call my senator, Obama, but voice mail was full. I called Senator Durbin was was not connected to voice mail and was hung up on. I emailed them each 3 times.

[Oyate]

I picked 'Other' on the poll because I emailed, called and stayed up for a couple of days parsing anything me and my study groups could find about the actual deal. Then we digested the info and turned it into talking points for others to email to our networks.

I guess we spent some time on the phone trying to figure out "what to do". It seems our phone/fax blast was effective. It knocked them for a loop. Now it's kind of a watch-and-wait to see what kind of abortion they hand us this time.

They are gonna hand us the bill. We're gonna get screwed. They intend to drive us into depression. This is the Second Great Fleecing. But this time we're going in with our eyes wide open. And we're as prepared as we're gonna be.
