What’s in the NEW SENATE BAILOUT BILL?

October 2nd, 2008

Of course the senate has approved the Bailout Bill, but not the one we thought was stupid in the first place. No. It’s a new and improved one. Containing over 400 pages of PET PROJECTS and other completely slimy politics. Including a Seven-year cost recovery period for motorsports racing track facility. WHAT? Is Nascar the reason our economy is going down the drain? Or is it the people passing these bills? I think every member in the senate should lose their jobs. They are not looking out for us. Nor do they have the intelligence to fix anything. Their solution, throw money at it. WRITE YOUR REP AND STOP THIS BILL. It will do more damage than good. 

CNN has posted the complete 451 page Bailout Bill.

Alternatives to the BAILOUT!

September 30th, 2008

The BAILOUT bill was shut down this past Monday. So it gives us a little more time to come up with a better plan. When Congress get back to work, they will attempt to rewrite this bill and resubmit it. This time around it will pass, because of the Government and News organizations putting FEAR into the public. Is it our best option?

WELCOME

September 30th, 2008

This site was created to bring the voices of the people to the ears of the people that need them. Due to manner our country is being run, its time we the people stand up and share our voices. Our so call government officials only care about keeping their jobs and not the people that pay them.

So on this site, I want to hear your problems and possible solutions. Consider this site a think tank for our government. Maybe some of them will take note and actually work for us, instead against us. If we put our voices together, we will be heard.
