"During this evening’s Senate vote, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) explains that she received 91,000 calls and emails, with 85,000 of them opposed to the measure. Even armed with the knowledge that 93% of her constituents passionate enough to contact her office pleaded for her to vote “nay”, she votes in favor of the bill, claiming that “there is a great deal of confusion out there” and these people “don’t understand” the situation."

Agreed,

Well stated Joe, and exactly right, and this is the problem with our broken two party system, we the people are not being represented honestly, never mind the fact we are not being respected at all by all these politicians.

The real issue is as you stated, our representatives are not listening to the people, they are nothing more than bobble heads which largely follow their party with no care what we think.

It is more than obvious this bail out has done nothing to help the people, just look at the markets, it went down 800 more points and although it came back a little, it is an out of control situation, and all those bobble heads who voted for bail out are the real ones to blame.

There is enough blame to go around in both parties, but the bottom line is we no longer matter, just look at this massive debt which is being piled on our shoulders, no matter what party line you vote on, you are going to be hit with the responsibility to cover this bail out, so remember that when you vote next time, check who voted no, and forget party lines, vote based on what you know, not what these lying bobble heads are saying as to reason why they voted yes. 

A yes vote was nothing more than a coverup of truth.  If people knew the real reason for bailout, they would be outraged, and this truth will come out sooner of later, but as most think it was to bail out wallstreet and banking, it was really about bailing out all those who bought this toxic subprime junk, and this includes more of the world banks, so although it was the wanstreet hedge funds that started finacial collapse, this bail out was for world banks, not U.S. banks. 

As you hopefully know, we are a debtor nation, we owe trillions, and when world banks were threatening to call in their loans, the U.S. economy would have totally collapsed, so this was the real reason to first bail out world banks and buy back this toxic hedge fund mess which world banks mandated the U.S. do first, and this is why the $810B was needed right away.  If not, then the tillions in debt would be called in, and guess what, the U.S. can't cover paying back trillions overnight.  So when the truth comes out, remember which bobble head politicians sold us all out.   

Greetings All

   I can no longer blame the shortcomings of our government on the unwillingness of The People to participate in political affairs. This may have been the case a decade or two ago but not now. The people of this nation have risen up in numbers not seen since the 1960's. We do recognize the danger that we are in as a free nation and we are speaking out in hugh numbers but, we are being ignored to the point of being just  another oppressed nation of whiners. While impeachment has been off the table according to Nancy Pelosi, it has been very much on the table according to "The People". Just look at the number of sites on the search engines where impeachment is clearly on the table of " The People". Why is nobody listening?

    During the reign of the present administration we have witnessed the single largest assault on our constitution in our entire history. Our government now openly violates constitutional law, the Geneva Convention and virtually every other law known to mankind. Through the use of " presidential signing statements " President Bush has systematically dissolved nearly all laws of the land and has reduced the powers of the congress to the point of being little more than two roomfulls of rubber stamps.

   To really understand what has been happening with our government and our future as a free nation , I believe we only have to look in two places. First, the signing statements above.  2nd, we need to look at the provisions established in the  FEMA REX 84 Doctrine. After comparing the objectives of the FEMA REX 84 project with the signing statements of G.W. Bush, I believe it will become very clear to anyone, which direction we are being led in.

Now, one final thought. Considering the implications laid out in the signing statements and the rex 84 project, doesn't the recent bailout bill take on a whole new light. Doesn't it appear to have been designed to create the kind of civil unrest that could lead us to a declaration of martial law. The original bill went directly against the will of 93% of " The People ". Then they rewrote it and added another 150 billion dollars worth of pork just to make sure that " We The People " strongly opposed the bill.  What would anger " The People " more than taking their homes and their retirement accounts? Where will the millions of people go who have lost their homes and life savings? Is there a FEMA camp in your neighborhood?

Joe !

Awesome my friend you hit it and so right on ....

"No matter what the tax laws are, one can create wealth.  Sometimes it takes a bit more elbow grease.  The questions I have about the American Dream, for myself, is "What are you going to do with your wealth?"  With wealth, I intend to employ others in hopes to teach them the same methods.  I intend to help feed thousands of the starving around this world.  I intend to provide charitable contributions to special causes to help eliviate hardships for others.  I intend to become influencial with political candidates to help put back ethics and doing "the right thing" in their mantras.

Being involved isn't something that is responded to next week by politicians.  It takes months to years to make a difference and neither are our efforts in working towards our Dreams.  If we want to achieve our Dreams Lee, then we must act partisan towards the goals necessary.  Bipartisan actions would be in answering the famous question, "To be or not to be?" with an indecisive answer.

So, open your minds to those that "do the right thing" and you will too!

Lee, I hope this response is sticking with your discussion.  If not, let me know. 

Joe " 

The American Dream our daily achievement's as a whole "Our Lives"  is what makes bipartinship possible ! Thank you Joe  Gods speed :-) Lee
