Now we all know who to vote out! Kick the bums out! Note: Send emails thanking the ones that voted Noes!

Now we all know who to vote out! Kick the bums out!

My congress-slut (Ron Lewis - R) voted in favor of the bailout. He's not up for reelection this november, so he couldn't care less what his constituents think. I called Ron Lewis' office several times this past week urging against the vote, and I asked the dude on the other end of the line what the other constituents were saying. He said they had gotten ZERO phone calls in support of it.

Lewis is a soul-selling shill. His follow-up, Brett Guthrie, who is also a Republican and hopes to replace Lewis, will NOT get my vote.

Guthrie's pro-war anyway.

It's sad democrats were against this in much greater numbers than republicans. This will be used as the new talking point on everyones campaign trail. Obama will have both the House and the Senate.

"We defeated the bail out of Wall St. and the economic disaster George Bush and his Republicans were trying to shove down our throats."

huh?

 

[GunnyFreedom]

By the way - for those of you who have been hating on the C4L and the RealPolitics training school we underwent -- the strategies and the tactics we used to kill this bill were STRAIGHT out of that training. Don't believe me? ask anybody else who also attended the training.

The only time you can stop a revolution is before it starts.

Grab a few beers in celebration but remember there are still many other battles!

I reckon the FED just slugged you for 680 million.

 

[Ozwest]

690 billion.

Don't get overwhelmed with this victory; they will try to push this through again. We have to keep the heat on if we are to be successful.

Don't get overwhelmed with this victory; they will try to push this through again. We have to keep the heat on if we are to be successful.

Then lets continue to write, fax, call, and thank those who opposed and let them know that they have our support.

 

[JosephTheLibertarian]

This is truly a miracle! And I'm an agnostic. We can finally celebrate this day!!

Agnostic voting for a theocrat?

Remember FISA?

Remember FISA? It failed the first time when it was public. The people protested by sending in letters, faxes, and emails.

But then they snuck it through as a minor item on another bill a few weeks or a month later when no one was looking.

 

[Thomas_Paine]

We need to do 2 things:

Contact those who voted Yea and express to them that we meant what we said about doing everything in our power to vote to them out

Contact those who voted Nay. thank them for faithfully representing the will and interest of the people and remind them that the people are watching them carefully, if this get mutated into something else and comes up again we expect them to remain steadfast against any bailout by whatever name it may be called in the future.

Tomorrow's headline

 

[Swmorgan77]

Lets keep the pressure on them! Call and let them know we're not fooled by Pelosi's blame game and thanks for voting against the bailout. Let them know we don't want immoral and unsound corporations saved from the consequences of their actions, and that the free market will fix this crisis better than any regulatory socialist takeover.
