Tell Congress: Bail out Main Street, not Wall Street.
The $700 Billion bailout plan proposed by President Bush and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, a former CEO of Goldman Sachs is the latest swindle that the architects of deregulation are trying to shove down our throats.
If there's enough of a public outcry, and if the Congressional Democrats show a little backbone, we can make sure the bailout includes working families on Main Street, not just millionaires on Wall Street.
Send a message to Congress: Any bailout must help the working and middle class families who've been suffering in this economic downturn.
Send Congress a message: Don't just bail out Wall Street. It's Working Families who need it most! Take action!
