Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Write Congress!
and/or
On the chance that the Senate is going to plunge us into the reality of being the world’s largest, stupidest socialist state this evening, I thought it might be wise to listen to a bona fide socialist like Herr Schulz.
According to that NY Times article linked above, House Minority Whip Roy Blunt (R-MO) “said one reason he was more optimistic was that lawmakers are hearing less vocal opposition from their districts.”
This, coupled with the drumbeat from every single msm outlet on television, might push this idiocy into law. I cannot stress this enough: this is a form of extortion and we are about to pay the blackmail. There is ample cash out there to be had, both in savings and in the huge printing runs by the Federal Reserve and the European Central Banks. We are being held up and we must say no to the financial terrorists on Wall Street!
Please, take a moment to (again!) contact your reps! The vote is scheduled for less than five hours from now. Remember, non-form letters carry much more impact!
The language of my letters (written today) to Congress (feel free to copy/edit/paste), after the jump.
I originally had this included with the previous quote, but it deserves it’s own headline.
Quotable: Martin Schulz
Oct 1
This crisis underlines the excesses and uncertainties of a casino capitalism that has only one logic — lining your pockets. It also shows the bankruptcy of ‘law of the jungle’ capitalism that no longer invests in companies and job creation, but instead makes money out of money in a totally uncontrolled way.Martin Schulz
German lawmaker; chairman of the Socialists, EU assembly
