This evening, the U.S. Senate is going to vote on the bailout in another attempt to ram it through Congress.

They need to hear from you.

Here’s today’s task: Call your Senators!

The Senate web sites have been overwhelmed with people emailing in (which from my experience is a wasted effort). We need to pick up the phone and call.

So here’s the task:

Hi, my name is———————, and I’m a resident of—————————.

I’m writing to voice my strong opposition to ANY financial bailout. Government regulations caused our problems on Wall Street and the bailout will force my family to shoulder the burden of government’s failure. Vote no on the bailout.

Instead, I ask that you ease regulations like ‘mark to market’ standards and STOP your attempts at social engineering by rewarding lenders who make bad loans.
