I'm trying to read that damn bailout bill while I try to endure the debate but keep getting bogged down in this 451 pages trying to figure out why they added things into it like giving money to employers to buy bicycles for their employees, credits for efficicent kitchen appliances to the point where they talk about dishwashers and dryers, rum processing tax credits in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands(good, we can continue to get drunk when we are broke), coal miners and black lung, recycling again and again, economic development credit in American Somoa, Indian employment credit, railroad track maintenance, motorsport racing, something called enhanced charitable deductions for food inventory, book inventory, wool products research fund(yes wool like your winter coat) either that or they want to purchase sheep for all the senators!! LOL, exemption for excise tax for wooden arrows, film and movie production, income averaging for Exxon Valdez litigation, cotton ginning and fences, something called Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Additiction Equity Act of 2008, and more money for National Disaster funding and Katrina. What a bunch of crap.
Yeah John, be sure you tell us who added the wool and racetracks. Most important which one is so interested in rum processing?

| John McCain has stated that if he were president, he would name names of those in the Congress and Senate who try to add pork spending on the back end of bills. Well John, now is the time to step up to the plate and put your money where your mouth is and name the names of those in the Senate who attached approximately 110 billion $ worth of pork to the bailout bill. What say you John?

The arrogant Senate is bypassing the will of the people and plan on tricking this bill into passing! Robbers! Tell them we're mad as hell and NOT going to take it anyymore
Stop The Senate From Voting Bailout
10-1-8
*URGENT** Senate Bypassing House of Representatives, to vote on BAILOUT Wednesday, Stealthily Attached To Revenue Bill!! CALL NOW: NO BAILOUT!
Please send this message out to EVERYONE, not only here but on your email list!
The Senate is ignoring the House of Representatives and will be voting today on passing the bill...
The bailout package adds innocuous new provisions - including raising the FDIC insurance cap -- and includes a "Mental Health Parity" provision, which would require health insurance companies to cover mental illness at parity with physical illness.
Because the bill must originate in the House, the Senate is attaching the rescue plan to a bill that deals with renewable energy tax incentives. This would allow the Senate to vote before the House. http://money. cnn.com/2008/ 09/30/news/ economy/bailout_ tuesday/index. htm?cnn=yes
CONTACT YOUR SENATOR NOW!!! http://www.senate. gov/general/ contact_informat ion/senators_ cfm.cfm?State= IL
CONGRESSMAN DEFAZIO WAS BEING INTERVIEWED BY LOU DOBBS AND ADDED THAT WE SHOULD FLOOD THE CAPITOL SWITCHBOARD TOMORROW MORNING!!!
Capitol Hill Switchboard: (202) 224-3121 OR to find your Representative' s number, go to http://www.house. gov/ and enter your zip code. And why not send 'em an email while you are at it (BUT MAKE THE CALL FIRST) "Dear Senator/Representat ive: You MUST reject the Paulson/Bernanke plan for bailing out and propping up reckless banks at taxpayer expense. This is madness to ask us, the taxpayers, to cover the liabilities of Wall Street. We are tired of being fleeced. If you vote to support this plan, I will do everything in my power to remove you from office before you can give away any more of our money to failed businessmen. Thank you, [Your name]" DON'T LET THIS BILL PASS!!!
