Wall Street Bailout
by Douglas Samuelson - email:  dsamuelson@frii.com

The proposed 700 billion dollar Wall Street bailout bill is being driven by "fear tactics". We, the average, honest, hard working citizens who represent the majority, are being forced to accept this bill that is structured to bailout the wealthy and the people who have chosen to default on their financial obligations. I have attempted to contact my Senators and Representatives to express my opposition to this bill, and my efforts have been in vain. It is obvious that the public outcry of people who oppose this bill is falling on "deaf ears".

I have worked hard and sacrificed to maintain my good credit rating, but if this bill is passed, I will cease to make any further payments on my credit card debt. I will return the monthly statements to my creditors, along with a letter instructing them to include me in the bailout package. Obviously, this will ruin my credit rating, but at this point I really "don't give a damn". I want my fair share of the 700 billion dollars.

If you agree with me, I urge you do the same. I also urge you to forward this message to all of your friends and acquaintances. It is time that "we the people", step up and be counted. If we cannot trust our elected officials to represent us, then it is time that we take matters in our own hands.

If we can find enough people to support this movement, the 700 billion dollars will be a "drop in the bucket" to what it would take to bailout our financial system, and maybe then our Senators and Representatives will "get the message".
