A few Members were even told that there would be martial law in America if we voted ``no.''
Sherman's speech on the 1st proposal (or 2nd if you count the proposal published on Sept 20th) of the Bailout bill (September 29th 2008): Best on Bailout Day http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXGv6q...
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declared -congressional martial law- on Sept 27, 2008. Which is a procedural blanket that removes the rule requiring at least one day between the time a Bill is introduced in the House and the day a vote is taken.
Listen to congressman Michael Burgess [R-TX] addressing congressional martial law on Sept 28: "I understand we're under martial law as declared by the Speaker last night." http://youtube.com/watch?v=l7B4laX1E70
I thank the Chair. I have got 30 minutes, and I will share some with the gentlelady from Ohio in just a second to describe the flaws with this bill. Believe it or not, 30 minutes is not long enough. But first I want to mention about the calls that are coming into our office.
The calls used to be from people around the country. Now Wall Street firms have their employees unplugging those headsets to call investors and instead calling Members of Congress. So now the calls coming in to at least my office have shifted from 20-1 against this bailout package for Wall Street, down to about 3-1 or 4-1 against this bailout.
I ask my colleagues not to be confused. Edit out some of those calls that are coming to you from folks who are being paid to make the call, and you will realize the country remains absolutely overwhelmingly opposed to this Wall Street bailout bill.
I thank again the gentleman from Ohio, and I will make a few more points.
We had a meeting of the Skeptics Caucus, which is now a bipartisan Skeptics Caucus, where we heard from Bill Isaac. Mr. Isaac was Chair of the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation), having first been appointed to that board by President Carter and then appointed by Reagan. You don't find very many people who have support on both sides of the aisle like that.
The only way they can pass this bill is by creating and by sustaining a panic atmosphere.
That atmosphere is not justified. Many of us were told in private conversations, if we voted against this bill, that, on Monday, the sky would fall and that the market would drop 2,000 or 3,000 points the first day and another 2,000 the second day.
A few Members were even told that there would be martial law in America if we voted ``no.''

i believe they try to cause civil unrest so they can impose martial law to finish us off.its more than obvious to me the leaders of this country are so controlled by the bankers and oil companies.what we need to do is start to listen to these people who claim they can generate power by other means than oil solar or wind.why is there no research money spent on using water for fuel or magnets for electric?overunity is possible and our energy should be next to free.this will free the people.
If the govt hadn't paid off the foreign investors they would have stopped doing business with America/Uk or worse. The American/Uk govts were directly responsible for the crash by forcing banks to lend to people who couldn't afford to pay it back. So they had to prove to foreign investers their word was good by selling the peasants down the river yet again. They should be sent to prison for gross stupidity & fraud.
I don't think so since ultimately it was the banks who decided wether or not to give the loans. CRA class bank failures made up less than a third of bank Failures
We need revolution god damn it. Its like Naomi said, we need people to understand whats going on and stand up against this shit. Im sorry but standing outside a building holding a paper sign and chanting is not going to arrest, kill and replace people. We need mercenaries that will asassinate corrupted leaders. We are running out of time. We need full scale revolution, lives will be lost but that is the price we have to pay for letting our government rot to hell and back.
The supreme court has ruled that the 50 states are countries with respect to each other but under the 14th amendment system you are participating in rebellion against your de jure country when you vote, through contract as well and that is why you have to pay IRS and so forth.. and are responsible for the national debt. please watch all 6 videos for more info watch?v=G1B33IvnJ4M&feature=Pl ayList&p=28494A08AB958B71&inde x=0&playnext=1
