No Blank Check - sign this petition!!

[proud2BlibKansan]

Congress is on the brink of making a one-sided deal to give George W. Bush
a blank check to bail out his pals - offering nearly (or perhaps more
than) a trillion taxpayer dollars to Wall Street to cover its bad debts.
That works out to somewhere between $2000 and $5000 from every American
family.

So what do the taxpayers get in return? Nothing. No new regulation or oversight to help avoid this kind of crisis
in the future. No public interest givebacks to help people whose homes are
in the hands of the banks. Perhaps most shockingly of all, the taxpayers
get absolutely no share in the profits if and when these finance giants
bounce back, even though we are now assuming a great deal of the risk.

This is worse than a bad deal - this isn't a deal at all. This is a blank
check to some of the richest companies in the world.

I just signed a petition calling on key members of Congress to impose a
few sensible conditions to this bailout in order to protect the American
people -- I hope you will too.

Please have a look and take action.

10. K & R. Done. I also called both of my senators and my congressman this morning.

Let's let them know that we will hold THEM responsible if they do not require strict accountability and regulatory measures along with ANY bailout. Taxpayers should not be expected to foot the entire bill without getting anything in return.
