I hate to suggest this, especially since it would be very difficult for me to participate myself, but is there a possibility of a spontaneous public rally in DC to voice our opposition to the plan? I mean, that’s normally a liberal tactic, but if it’s true that Pelosi and Reid have deliberately shut off communications with the world, then I think it’s time for some grassroots uprising. I worry that a deal may be in place by tomorrow night. Hopefully, McCain and the House Republicans will hang tough and not sign onto it. Part of the problem is that conservatives work and liberals, by and large, do not. Conseequently, a conservative rally is something of a rarity, but this may be the time.
Remember, the Dems only need a simple majority to push this through (a supermajority is not needed for this type of bill)—they only want R support in order to provide political cover. I say, NO WAY, NO HOW, NO BAILOUT—this message must be driven home to McCain, loud and clear. If the Dems want this so bad, then let them take full responsibility for it. I know that means they will load it up with earmarks and ACORN subsidies; that’s when we need to make Bush understand that he must veto it, even though it’s his own bill. Right now, he has placed NO limits on what crap can be put in. Bush is not the bad guy here—he is being led around by Paulson and for once, Bush’s loyalty has got to be cut off. Only we conservatives have a chance to save the party. What do you all think?

I agree with you on this and believe it’s getting close to the time to take to the streets. I love in Maryland and would gladly show up with my family. It’s time to push back some.

I think you are absolutely right! I wish I was in DC. We did that here in Nashville a few years back. They did the exact same thing. They were trying to sneak in a state income tax and they locked themselves in the capital building late at night but the people rose up. We drove around the building blowing horns and making a horrible racket. People had signs and were yelling and even pounding on the locked door. The media was there and it was being made very public. In the end they backed down and voted it down.
