Contact Congress

Go to www.congress.org and email your representatives to tell them to stop the bailout.  The site is very user-friendly.  You can look up your senators and reps by your zip code and then email them all using the form they provide.  The following is what I sent to my reps.  Feel free to copy/paste.

"Dear President Bush; Senators Burr and Dole; and Representative Price:

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. Let the market work, let prices fall, and trust in the American people to endure in the short term rather than attempting to regulate our way out of this. The stability and integrity of the American dollar is at stake."
