And then we all need to vote for a third party candidate for President since both MSM candidates are "for" the bailout.
We have to actually act on this. Do not vote for Obama OR McCain. Vote for yourself if you need to, but lets send them a message.

I'm confused about something. If the house voted no on the bailout, how did this new version end up going to the senate first? Or had the senate voted before the house rejected the last one?
And, I don't understand what it has to do with the Wellstone Mental Health Bill?
Wellstone mental health bill included in bailout

It has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the mental health bill. The House said NO, the Senate went behind all of our backs and did what they wanted to do. I don't understand how this travesty can be allowed to be carried. And I still don't know what happens when the House votes again on Friday if they say NO again.

I have great hope that this outcry indicates that we have reached our breaking point. I think the market fall on Monday was blackmail. To try to break our will and make us support the bill. I do not believe it has. They want to report it as if it has, so that people feel that further resistance is futile.
They also ignore third party candidates to make you think your vote will be wasted if you vote for them. Turn off the TV. Dont vote for who you think is the lesser of two evils. Vote for someone you think is NOT evil. Dont feel the need to be on the winning team or side, be willing to vote your conscience. Be brave, vote free, ignore the polls, the reports, and the propaganda. Listen to your own heart. Even if your heart disagrees with me, and you want to vote Obama or McCain. If everyone would just vote their heart, their conscience, instead of a vote based in fear of the greater of two evils we could break the deadlock these two evils have on America.
Remember, voting for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil.
