We want to let you know about an important new initiative, <http://www.impeachbush.org/site/R?i=g3zUT8rGMokOpVTwpV8pOw..>VoteNoBailout.org. Please check it out, take action today, and forward widely to friends, classmates, co-workers, activists and bloggers. Demand that the Bailout Legislation Be Rejected We are witnessing a bankers' coup d'etat. In the name of saving the economy from a crisis created by their own greed and immense profits, Bush and the biggest bankers have taken a country and a people hostage. "Give us your money and tear up what's left of your Constitution or we will sink your economy," is the message from Wall Street and the Bush Administration. "Give us the power and money we demand or you will be left jobless from a new economic depression." Under the pretext of the banking crisis, the Bush Administration is changing the way this country operates. This is not simply taking trillions of dollars from the people and giving it to the richest bankers to do with as they see fit. <http://www.impeachbush.org/site/R?i=JIA1lrka03-VR81JSyV_nA..>Click here to send your letter to Congress Congress is poised to vote to give the Executive Branch of government, and specifically the White House's political appointees in the Treasury Department, the absolute right to take our money and give it to domestic and foreign banks and corporations without any oversight of elected officials, from the courts, or from the people. The new legislation states: "Decisions by the Secretary [of the Treasury] pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency." The Legislation allows the Treasury Department to appoint the same bankers who created the crisis to administer and dictate the use of trillions of our tax dollars. We will not stand by and let the Bush Administration formalize its vision of a "government of, by and for the richest bankers." The new system institutionalizes theft on a grand scale. Lehman Brothers bankers will receive $2.5 billion in bonuses after their company went bankrupt last week, but the new dictatorial authority under the White House and Treasury Department has ruled out any relief for the millions of working families who are being foreclosed. We live in a $15 trillion annual economy. Instead of taking our tax dollars and giving it to the already rich and powerful, these funds should be used provide to decent paying jobs, affordable housing, health care and a good education for our children. There is another way! Now is the time to hear the voice of the people. A spineless Congress authorized Bush's illegal war in Iraq and rubber-stamped the Patriot Act. Now they are being herded like sheep again to give the White House and Wall Street dictatorial control over the people's money. <http://www.impeachbush.org/site/R?i=atJaSvPqSQh9a47kCgDtAA..>Click here to send your letter to Congress <http://pepib.convio.net/site/CO?i=wr9-92fTjfGID3ja9bBOkUvL1z3_YsS3&cid=0>Click here to unsubscribe. <http://www.impeachbush.org/site/R?i=WtGySKk9Nz_3EwHM387KLQ..> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Mark Crispin Miller's "News From Underground" newsgroup.
