Quick Notice!

We're organizing an event for TODAY after work to protest the head-long rush to bail out Wall Street.None of us really understands the crisis fully.  But there are a few things we do know:

• Conservative economic policy is to blame – the push for less regulation and the money lust that drives Wall Street firms are at the heart of the crisis.
• The Bush Administration is pushing for a quick solution that lacks fundamental protections and fairness for the American taxpayer
• The McCain campaign is using the crisis as a political weapon.
• The Republicans who are up for election will run against any deal – they are going to use any bailout package as an example of "another huge Democratic give-away to the wealthy elite."  It will help separate them from Bush and make them seem like populists – just when we need to hang the conservative GOP label on them.

This is a national event, with a large, biparitsan support.  On the left, it's being promoted by True Majority, Democracy for America, USAction, and United for Peace and Justice, among many others.Please join us at 5:00pm at the congressional offices on Memorial Drive.  Bring signs if you can.  It's urgent.  Don't let Bush rush us into another huge clusterf**k.Tell Washington to take its time and get this one right.See you there,Dan
