Ultimately, they will vote yes on the bailout. We will have to remember who voted for it and “throw the rascals out!” come election time. It’s the only way we will be able to change anything. When are Boxer and Feinstein up for re-election?

I emailed them again. Straight and to the point:

“I am disgusted by the idea that this government would take my hard earned money and spend it as wastefully as to bail out fat cat CEO’s for taking on too much risk, borrowing too much money, and concocting ridiculous schemes all in the name of greed. If 1 trillion dollars belonging to the citizens of this country are to used to steer us out of this debacle, I insist it be injected into the money supply at the local level by helping those affected by wall streets greed. Let the fat cats leave penny-less just as any one of us middle class citizens would be if we ran our small businesses into the ground. I, and most people I have spoken to, will remember which way you voted when election day comes around. I will actively oppose anyone who votes for these bailouts.”

Everybody just has to keep it up. I’m tempted to start running for offices myself. Won’t do a whole lot of good at the national level, but you have to start locally, and we all know our city government isn’t something to be proud of either. What do you guys think?

[quote=nostradamus][quote=SD Transplant]I do agree that action must be taken. However, I would like to see the big picture, and there are a couple of immediate options that make sense:

1) Write your congressman/senators/representative
= keep the status quo

2) Elections are in just a few months/day – let’s make our voices heard PROPERLY.
= DO NOT VOTE ANY INCUMBANT IN THE OFFICE AGAIN

[/quote]

I think there is a third option: buy off the candidates to make them do what we want. Face it, lobbyists have all the power in this country. Find a lobbying group that supports your beliefs and back them. Or form one of your own. Voting doesn’t work so well when whomever is elected is then bought by lobbyists. Whether you vote incumbent or not, they’ll all sell out.

I think we should start a piggs lobbying force (remember swift boat?) to push our agenda. The beauty of this is it can be a tax-free enterprise gathering donations from people with similar beliefs. So each person doesn’t need to contribute a lot, we just need a lot of people to contribute a small amount.

Writing your reps is useless unless you’re writing them a check. Sad but true.[/quote]

I’m in.
