C-SPAN: Frank Lucas' finishing argument on HR 2454

While the nation mourns the passing of Michael Jackson, the U.S. House of Representatives is rushing to pass HR 2454, which has been given only 3 hours to debate. Representative Frank Lucas (R-Oklahoma) uses his last 3 minutes to enlighten the House of the bill's consequences. Congress is not allowed to read it, and it has been said that this bill is 1300+ pages containing sweeping legislation that will provide the U.S. with it's "new foundation".

we need to make a list of every politician who voted in favor of banker bailouts and hr2454. So when the next election time is here, we make it widely known who helped bring this about and we make sure they don't get reelected by simply getting the word out. Between the bailouts, socialist takeovers, hr2454 and the criminal Federal reserve, we're fu#ked!
