We are at a crucial time in our country’s financial history. The Senate passed the $700 billion bailout plan on Tuesday, and the House votes on it Friday. We are supporting an alternative plan that will keep our nation from going even deeper in debt.

We need everyone’s help! Here are 3 steps you can take to change our nation’s future:

If you pray, pray for them to resist a spirit of FEAR and to embrace WISDOM. Even if you don’t like them or agree with them, pray for them and tell them you are praying for them. There is a spirit over this problem that must be broken. Also, most of the media personalities are afraid as well and that is affecting their reporting. Pray for fear to be removed from them; they are making this worse.

Send The Common Sense Fix to your Representatives and Senators and tell them how you expect them to vote, and that if they put this nation in $700 billion of debt, that you will vote them out. It’s their job to listen to us! (Whichever presidential candidate or political party that champions this plan from their leadership down will likely become the next president. That is because this plan fixes the crisis while going along with the wishes of the vast majority of Americans.)

The bailout bill gives us an opportunity to view how government works. There are two main points I want to illustrate: in order to pass any legislation it is necessary to add unrelated earmarks, effectively buying off potentially dissenting politicians. The country wastes tens of billions in earmarks annually, which are arguably unconstitutional, yet nonetheless a mainstay in Washington business. Second, this bill now consists of over 450 pages and has a title entirely unrelated to the subject matter, which is actually a varied conglomeration of pork. Note the bill title on this vote scorecard. Legislation should be simple, titled correctly to address the nature of the bill, and generally understandable. Only measures consistent with the nature of the bill should be included. Continue Reading
