Here is a list of the current Colorado delegation to the US Congress. For those of you so inclined, I urge you to call or email everyone on this list and threaten their houseplants if they support this bailout. It is a joke that they think they can cut taxes while adding now 800+ billion dollars onto the deficit. This country is currently built on a financial house of cards that is unsustainable. The American people are as much to blame as the greedy bastards in the banks, but they are the only ones being bailed out. They get to walk away from an artificially inflated housing market that they created, while anyone who has a mortgage will still be stuck paying down the loan at face value. Rome needs to burn, people. Burn, baby burn.
Senator Wayne Allard (R- CO) 202-224-5941

http://salazar.senate.gov/contact/email.cfm I am including the senators mostly for informational purposes. They have already voted, and Wayne Allard voted against it. This may be the only time some of you will consider calling that man to thank him, so take the opportunity :)

http://perlmutter.house.gov/IMA/issue_subscribe.htm When the House voted the first time Udall, Musgrave, Lamborn, and Salazar voted against it. They are expected to vote on the Senate's even more bloated proposal tomorrow. Believe it or not, but this bailout could have a much larger impact on our lives in 15 years than your vote for president. Do something.
