Call your Senators and Representative at 800-473-6711 or 800-828-0498 or
202-224-3121 and say "No Bailout!"
On Monday, we won an incredible victory when the House defeated Paulson's
Plunder by 228-205, despite overwhelming pressure on the House from the White
House, Wall Street, and the Corporate Media.
The only reason we won was because hundreds of thousands of grassroots activists
like you called and emailed Congress. Every Member reported their constituents
said "No Bailout" by 100:1 or more.
So how did Congressional leaders respond to their defeat? They made the bill
worse by doing nothing for working families while adding $100 billion in tax
breaks favoring the rich. They didn't just put lipstick on the pig, they added
pearls!
Today the Senate will vote, so call your two Senators first and say "No
Bailout!" Use the Capitol switchboard at 800-473-6711 or 800-828-0498 or
202-224-3121 or dial direct using the instant phone lookup on the right side of

Senator Obama 202.224.2854
Representative Johnson 02.225.2371
