“DIRECTLY FROM CONGRESSMAN THADDEUS McCOTTER’S (R-Mich.) LEGISLATIVE DIRECTOR:
The ‘Chris Dodd’ ‘wish list’ is about 3 versions ago and is nothing more than paper in a rubbish bin right now.
Through Rep. McCotter’s PERSONAL delivery to each and every member of the House Republicans, they are using the various reports of the economists from the University of Chicago, relying primarily the collective summation report issued by Professor Eric Zitzewitz (Dartmouth College) to not only support, but give the ultimate credibility to their stance against the bailout. They have absolutely NO INTENTION OF BACKING DOWN.
THEY KNOW THE TRUTH OF THE SITUATION.
He had me fax (actually re-fax) all of Karl’s recent .pdf documents, ‘Congress Think Before You Act,’ ‘Mathematics Fail Paulson/Bernanke Bailout Plan,’ and ‘How to Fix Our Banking System.’ He received them while I as still on the telephone and I emphasized we are available at his immediate request to do whatever is necessary to stop a bailout - inluding being in Washington DC within hours.
They are fighting bull**** with real, hard-core facts, backed-up with immpeccable research and credibility.
House Republicans are to be meeting sometime this afternoon to discuss THEIR version of the Bill.”
“Lemonaid - Get on the phone with them RIGHT NOW! They are staffed and taking calls at:
DC Address: The Honorable Thaddeus McCotter
United States House of Representatives
1632 Longworth House Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20515-2211
DC Phone: 202-225-8171
DC Fax: 202-225-2667
Support him! Tell them NOT TO VEER ONE BIT FROM THE ACADEMICS’ REPORTS AND ADVICE!
THE ACADEMICS HAVE NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST (like Buffett, Gross, et al)!!
THEY ARE THE BRIGHTEST ECONOMIC MINDS IN THE WORLD - THEY ARE ABOVE REPROACH, ESPECIALLY TAKEN en mass.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT AND DESERVE THIS - AND WE ARE TAKING NAMES AND DOCUMENTING ALL OF THIS METICULOUSLY - THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL MERCILESSLY REMOVE EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF CONGRESS THAT VOTES TO BAIL OUT WALL STREET AND WILL JUSTLY REWARD EVERY MEMBER WHO STANDS FIRM AGAINST THE LOOTING OF AMERICA.”
Thank you for this terrific update. I just called McCotter’s office at the number listed, got through on the first ring, thanked them for their hard work and encouraged them to hold the line.
