SENATE VOTING ON BAILOUT PLAN TONIGHT !!
From the Desk of:

10/1/2008
After powerful public backlash brought the $700 billion bailout crashing to the House floor, Senate leadership picked up the banner and will vote on the bill tonight (Oct. 1).
Don't be fooled. At its core, this is the same $700 billion bailout bill--only bigger.
What started out as a 3-page bill by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, grew to 110-pages in the House, to 400-plus pages in the Senate. In fact, the Senate's new "colossal" version of the bailout bill includes a package of tax earmarks, including goodies for Hollywood, Alaska and auto racing tracks!
Nothing has changed from the House bill, and passage would usher us to the doorstep of socialism!
I'm urging ALL members of the Grassfire team to
take IMMEDIATE ACTION against Senate leadership
right up to the vote this evening demanding
they stop the madness--seeking instead free-
market solutions!
Here's what I need you to do today:
++ Action Item #1--Contact your Senators
This is truly an "all hands on deck" alert and
I'm counting on EVERY member of our team to call
their Senators and tell them you strongly oppose
this socialist rescue plan with "goodies" for
Hollywood and Alaska!
Urge them to cast a "NO" vote for the $700
billion bailout.
Demand they work to adopt a fiscally responsible rescue plan anchored in a market-based approach free from the non-stop fear mongering coming from Wall Street and Capitol Hill!
++Action Item #2--Fax Key Members of the House and Senate
If after making your calls, you haven't yet scheduled your personalized faxes targeting key House and Senate Leadership including Harry Reid, Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, John McCain and President Bush consider doing so right now by clicking here:

We'll also send faxes directly to your two South Dakota Senators and Representative demanding a free-market solution instead of one that consolidates power in the federal government!
Go here to use our FaxFire system to send faxes now (or to get the information you need to send your own faxes):

The action we take over these next hours may well determine the fate of our nation. Please take a stand against the Senate’s $700 billion bailout. Take a stand against a socialist solution, and take action to secure our nation by calling and faxing today!
Steve
P.S. After making your calls and scheduling your faxes, continue alerting your friends and family throughout the day to follow your lead. This is a critical time, and we need as many citizens as possible taking action with us!
