Maryland Says NO Blank Check Bailout

Senate approves “Rescue Plan”—Sells Out to Greedy Fat Cats Help us Hold the Line in the House of Representatives TODAY! We desperately need your help! The Senate put some "lipstick on it" and passed the bailout bill. We have a second chance to defeat it in the House; the vote is expected by Friday. We’re partnering with True Majority, USAction, and Democrats.com to defeat the Wall St. bailout. We want a Fair Deal for Main St., and we’re asking our members to visit their representative’s local office in the next 2 days to get them on record in support of a Fair Deal for Main St. If your Representative voted YES the first time around, then a chance for redemption exists. This letter is a “request for constituent services” to elicit support for a Fair Deal for Main St. Take it with you and follow these instructions. If your Representative voted NO last time, leave your thanks, the letter, and ask them to hold firm.  Resources: Find your Representative and local office here.

We can defeat this terrible bailout bill and provide protection for Main St. in these vulnerable times, if we all take action on Wednesday and Thursday. Yours in the movement, Tim Carpenter PDA National Coordinator P.S.  If you think we're doing a good job on the Wall St. bailout, please make a  contribution, click here.
