Many of the Congressmen who voted against the bailout are now switching sides. We've been calling, emailing, writing, and fax-bombing, but we need to do something drastic and BIG to get their attention.

Ideas?

How about saying we'll refuse to pay taxes instead of vote for them? If enough people do it, they can't arrest us all.

How would we organize enough people to do that, in such a short amount of time? I'm not sure that's really a feasible option right now for the particular issue at hand...

Burn effigies of paulson and your local congressman in front of their offices. It's what they would have done in 1776.

I haven't pulled my deposits out from my bank yet. I was thinking of doing that the moment one of the houses of congress passes this legislation. It's the only power I have left.

Lets hold money bombs to intentionally oust some of these candidates. They know that we're better at that then anything that's been seen before, and our thow them out is going to be a lot more effective than whats been done before.
