THE ONLINE PETITION demanding
the government
BAIL OUT MAIN STREET, NOT WALL STREET!
The Senate has just voted to pass a US$700-billion
financial bailout for corrupt financial institutions, while ignoring
the real needs of working people. In addition to an unprecedented
giveaway to Wall Street, the bill also includes $100 billion dollars in
tax breaks for corporations - but no relief for working people who are
facing foreclosure and who need health care, jobs, and education.
The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote
on this proposal as early as Friday - tomorrow. Please sign the
online petition now - tell President Bush, Candidates Obama and
McCain, Members of Congress, Treasury Secretary Paulson, Federal
Reserve Chairman Bernanke, and members of the media: Bail Out Main
Street NOT Wall Street! Sign the petition at http://www.stopforeclosuresandevictions.org/bailoutmainstnotwallst.shtml.
Petition
To: President Bush, Candidates Obama and McCain,
Members of Congress, Treasury Secretary Paulson, Federal Reserve
Chairman Bernanke, and members of the media
Bail Out Main Street NOT Wall Street!
Tens of millions of working and poor people are facing the most dire
economic crisis since the Depression of the 1930s. Yet our government
is planning to hand over the U.S. treasury to Wall St. bankers. All
that the politicians offer to people who are losing their homes, jobs,
health care, education and pensions are bigger and bigger budget cuts
to vital social services.
Enough is Enough!
I say NO to this injustice. NO Bailout of Wall Street bankers!
Instead, I demand the following emergency measures:
1. Moratorium on home foreclosures and evictions.
2.
Freeze all job layoffs and extend unemployment benefits.
3.
Freeze all utility cutoffs & roll back gas, food and utility prices
4.
Protect workers’ pensions and savings—hands off Social Security.
5.
Debt cancellation for working and poor people—no repossessions or wage
garnishing.
6.
Moratorium on budget cuts in all social programs like health care,
education, mass transit, youth programs, seniors programs, veterans
programs and others.
Sincerely,

BAIL OUT THE
PEOPLE, NOT THE BANKERS ON WALL STREET!
