No Wall Street Bailout Petition

Posted by: Amanda Carpenter at 1:12 PM

Our friends at FreedomWorks have put together an anti-bailout petition if any of you want to vent a bit. Reading other people's comments on the petition is half the fun of signing.

NYT tries to will Age of Obamalot
Protein Wisdom reports: As I noted in an update last evening would almost certainly be the case, the media today is pushing the story that the firm owned by McCain’s campaign manager, Rick Davis, lobbied for Freddie and Fannie Mac — all while continuing to ignore exploring, at any length, Sen Barack Obama’s actual ties to those closely related to the current economic meltdown. Not only that, but the Davis-as-tied-to-crisis story is disputed by the McCain campaign — which alleges that the NYT has reported in bad faith, and that public records back up the campaign’s claims that Mr Davis cut ties to his firm in 2006, and that he never lobbied Freddie or Fannie Mac (and in fact, hasn’t been a registered lobbyist since 2005). All of which, I suppose, is not surprising; after all, the media seems to think that the Sen from Illinois is running against everyone but Senator McCain, from the Gov. of Alaska to a campaign manager, and so their function has been to try to dirty them and hope that as the stories accrue, the public is left with a certain impression crafted by their reporting, while the facts that undercut this impression will ultimately only be “corrected” in the back pages of the paper, if at all. http://proteinwisdom.com/?p=13309 By the way check this out: http://hotair.com/archives/2008/09/24/new-mccain-ad-the-co al-miner/ (it is awesome)

They need to update the total...
...number of signatures nationwide. I only checked three states but EACH state had more signers than the national total.

Sen. McCain Voting NO On Bailout Bill!!!
I just contacted Sen. John McCain's DC office (of whom I am a constituent) and was informed by the nice woman on the other end that Sen. McCain is voting NO on the $700 billion "No Wall Street Banker Left Behind" bill. I must say, I am very pleased. Must go, more calls to make. Keep fighting the good fight.
