WHAT CONGRESS IS GOOD FOR THESE DAYS
Not much, it seems, given that we have what essentially amounts to a single-party system (i.e., the corporatist party). However, the Bush Administration needs Congress’s imprimatur in order to carry out the proposed highway robbery in the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (better known as the “$700 billion bail-out”). Yesterday, Congress voted the wishes of the American people for a change. My suggestion is that each of us finds out how our congressional representative voted (see the vote count, which we will be posting elsewhere on the blog from time to time as available) and acts accordingly. I called my congresswoman this morning with a “thank you, hang in there and I’m sending a contribution because I believe in voting with my money” message. Catherine reports she is sending a $100 campaign contribution to her congresswoman. If your congressional representative was a sell-out to the corporadoes, perhaps an “I’m sending a campaign contribution to your opponent” message would be a good idea. Money talks.
