Wall Street Bailout Protest in Palo Alto (Rep. Eshoo's District)

Opposing socialism for the rich...

The main organizing group was The
Peninsula Peace and Justice Center: http://www.peaceandjustice.org
Paul George is the lead organizer and
starts out the video.

A local chapter of the Raging Grannies
supported the event.

Democracy Now has excellent coverage of
the bailout: www.democracynow.org

Naomi Klein's book The Shock Doctrine
talks about how disasters are key
times for opportunists. An outline is
online:

At least this time the Democrats in
Congress pretend to care. The FBI is
even doing some investigation of
Wall Street. We will see if anything
substantial comes from either of these.

Now is a good time to push for taxes to
be increased on the wealthy.

Stopping war would help solving the crisis. Would it not?

Technically, a very well put together video. I like a piece that identifies it's self right off. Politically, it gets your message out before you know what hit us. AS for the content and comments: the bailout was a Bush administration legacy. Lets get the facts straight. It was most of Washington (including Pres. Obama) that approved it.

Since your elected officials didn't listed ... it's time to vote them out.

Eshoo voted for the bailout twice. Obviously she wasn't listening.

LOL...GO GET A JOB YA LOSERS

I agree with you. Obama said at the last debate that he would redirect the focus from Iraq to Afghanistan. A vote for Obama (and certainly for McCain) is a wasted vote. Try a third party candidate like Nader or Bob Barr. We would be SO much better off with one of them.

Stop legal looting!!

Just say no to Nancy Pelosi and Obamas' wild spending and high taxes that send our jobs over seas. Also say no to their no energy bill except wind which they have plenty of. The bill has no oil in it. It is a bill of no to new energy. No clean coal, no nuclear plants, no refineries, no drilling where there is oil, no to anything that would help this great Nation. The no drilling ban has run out and we will not let Pelosi derail us anymore.

Obama doesn't want to stop the wars he just wants to change the places the wars are fought. Get a clue.

Nancy Pelosi should be thrown out of the house for putting in a 20% slush fund in the bill for the fraudulent Chicago based Acorn organization. Acorn was headed by Obama and is under investigation for voter fraud and these bad loans that help bring us to this mess. Thank God McCain made the Dem's include the Republican house members in the negotiations so this fraud could be taken out of the bill.
