ACTION PAGE:

Tell Congress To Make Wall Street Pay For Its Own Rescue
The corporate media has been propagating the most despicable lie about the backwards bailout we are all so opposed to, that the stock market dropped BECAUSE the House rejected it. That black hearted and categorical lie is just being used as propaganda to try to scare the American people, and Congress, into taking a very bad deal.

The FACT is that the market was already down 600 points before the vote was even taken. And then it went UP 500 points the next day AFTER the rejection. And now that the Senate has betrayed us all by totally caving in, it's down 350 points again in one day.

Bottom line: Any bailout must be financed by the Wall Street profiteers who created this disaster, not by those of us struggling to earn a simple wage on Main Street. And that is why we are demanding, with this action page, that any bailout be financed by a nominal tax of just 1/4 of one percent on securities transactions, so that those who speculated us into economic ruin can start to pay it back.

The one click form below will send your personal message to all your government representatives selected below, with the subject "Impose A Security Transaction Excise Tax So Wall Street Pays For Its Own Bailout." At the same time you can send your personal comments only as a letter to the editor of your nearest local daily newspaper if you like.
