Dear Friend,

We've never seen anything like this! The Congressional switchboard and
website have been so overloaded by angry citizens that they keep
crashing. You can't walk into a congressional office without hearing
beleaguered staffers saying to a caller, "Yes, I understand you're
against the bailout."

You have been part of a popular uprising that is rocking this nation, an
uprising that unites left and right, blue states and red states. We
can't let up!

Friday is the most critical day yet. Please--call your congressperson's
office RIGHT NOW! (202) 224-3121) Many reps are wavering. They are being
hounded by Wall Street, the White House and their party leadership to
vote for this bill-which now has a price tag of $850 billion! Tell them
to Just Say No. Tell them to forget their recess and their
electioneering, and stay in Congress as long as it takes to get a GOOD
BILL that provides real relief for homeowners, revitalizes our
communities and makes Wall Street pay for its greed and bungling.

[Paulson Must Go] We've been backing up your calls with non-stop actions
in Washington DC. We leave the CODEPINK house in the early morn going
from office to office. We corner the reps as they walk through the
halls, get a bite to eat, hold their press conferences, go to their
cars. We did die-ins in the offices of McCain and Obama, calling for
real leadership from the candidates. We shamed Senators after the late
night vote. We protested in front of the White House and the Treasury
Department. We demonstrated during the Paulson-Bernanke hearings.

Let's keep the momentum building. Call right now. Keep those phones
jammed. For once, make sure Washington hears us!!!
NO BAILOUT FOR WALL STREET!

With fire in our bellies,
Audrey, Dana, Deidra, Desiree, Farida, Gael, Gayle, Jean, Jodie, Liz,
Lori, Medea, Nancy, and Rae


[Paulson Must Go] P.S. We're also calling for the removal of Treasury
Secretary Paulson. He's a Wall Street speculator (former CEO of Goldman
Sachs) whose shady deals helped get us into this crisis. We can't trust
him with the solution. Sign our call Paulson Must Go

and join our campaign to stop the fox from guarding the henhouse.
