Re: [PDI] No more blank check bailouts

The next one is already in the works.  That's probably going to be typical of legislation out of this Congress -- "here's the money; we take no responsibility".

Dear Supporter,

On Monday, President Bush requested the Congress to release the
second half of the $700 billion bank bailout program. And, this
time, we cannot approve the bailout without guaranteeing real
accountability and conditions—no more blank check bailouts!

That's why today Tom Geoghegan is launching a petition
[http://www.geogheganforcongress.com/?page_id=124] telling
Congress to do exactly that—ensure that the bailout money is
directed towards those who really need it and that the interests
of working Americans are protected.

Click here to sign the petition right now.
[http://www.geogheganforcongress.com/?page_id=124]

We'll deliver the petition to the House and Senate leadership.
And we'll show that we're not going to sit idly by while
hundreds–of–billions of our money gets shipped to banks without
any real accountability and oversight.
0D The petition demands three conditions are met:

Give priority–directly if possible–to help people keep their
homes. Get public interest representatives or directors on bank
boards in all of the banks receiving money. Penalize any bank
that has been hoarding money from the first bailout. Click here
to sign the petition.

Tom has been fighting for economic security for working Americans
for the last 30 years. Sign the petition
[http://www.geogheganforcongress.com/?page_id=124] and join Tom
in fighting to end the era of blank check bailouts.
