Stealing $700 billion

From ImMad.net:

Under the guise of the Great Bailout of the U.S. economy proposed by Paulson/Bernanke/Bush (Paulnankebush) and tweaked by Congress, U.S. Government officials and financial companies are working together to steal about $700 billion from U.S. taxpayers to bail out people around the world who freely chose to gamble on the financial industry.  They want to give massive amounts of U.S. taxpayer money to foreign and U.S. investors in, and foreign and U.S. management and employees of, financial companies in and outside the U.S.

Status:  We may be witnessing the beginning of the collapse of American democracy.  The Senate and House passed the Great Bailout against the wishes of 80% of Americans who registered an opinion, with citizen participation being at the highest level in 20 years.  Our next, admittedly long shot, hope is that Bush's advisors help him understand the folly of the Great Bailout and he vetoes it so we are given the opportunity to quickly implement a better solution.  Perhaps the fact that the futures market plunged immediately upon Senate approval, and again immediately upon House approval, will illuminate the issue.  With so little time left, we must work even harder to stop the Great Bailout, so that we can implement a better solution to support the American economy, and restore faith in American democracy.  We will deliver the petitions with updated signature lists to President Bush, as we did to Congress, so keep spreading the word.
