Have you called your representative and pitched a fit?
Just did. I called Rep. Kenny Marchant's office (local AND his D.C. office) and told the secretary's that if Congress doesn't have the money to build a fence to stop the mexicon invasion then they sure as hell don't have the money to bail out a bunch of Wall Street sleaze-bags. I told them I'd rather go through a Depression than bail out anybody. Both offices told me he was against a bailout due to his constituents hammering him with a resounding "NO!!" to a bailout.
I heard a CONgressman yesterday state that calls were coming into his office at a rate of 300 to 1 AGAINST the bailout. Of course; our 'representatives' aren't going to pay any attention to us.
