    All people have to join this fight--black, brown, white, Republican, Democrat, independent, third party, old, young, middle-aged, blue-collar, white-collar, unemployed, every one of the 99.9% who have suffered this unprovoked sneak attack by the 0.1%.  We did this before, during the Great Depression, and we can do it again!  It will be more difficult to throw out the robber-barons this time--they are better entrenched with a bit more savvy, but we can best their millions of dollars with our millions of people.

    People do have the power. . . if we stand and fight together.

    For too long we have allowed ourselves to be divided and conquerable.  But we are not conquered yet.  Together, in solidarity and harmony; we, the people, can once again overcome.

    There is a basic law of political physics:  Those in power tend to stay in power.  In fact, the owners will use every available means to stay in power.  They will use their control of the government, the media, and the courts to stay in power.  

    We, the 99.9%, will have to stand tall, stand strong, and stand together to win back our freedom and our country.  On November 4, 2008, we can send a message to the 0.1%, a message that will let the owners know they don't own us any more.  On November 4th vote NO.  Vote against all of those 339 congress members who voted YES to the Wall Street bailout.  Twenty-two senators and 238 house members who followed their owners' commands by voting for the bailout are running for re-election in November.

    This will not be an easy vote for many of us.  There are some bailout supporters in Congress that have opponents who will be hard to vote for.  Well, for too many elections we have been told to hold our noses and vote for the lesser of two evils.  We have had a lot of practice in voting, not for a good candidate, but voting against  a horrible candidate--and look where that has landed us.  Let's put all that practice to good use this year and just vote NO on the congressional lackeys who, once again, did the bidding of their monied owners by voting for the Wall Street bailout.

    Vote for a Republican, Democrat, independent, or third party candidate--anyone that is running against the bailouters.  If you cannot bring yourself to vote for a name on the ballot, write in a name.  If you can't think of a name to write in, just leave the ballot blank.  Whatever you do, do not vote for any congressional candidate who sold you out to their wealthy owners.

    By voting NO on the bailouters this November 4th, we will be sending a wakeup call, not just to the 0.1%, but to all those who do their bidding.  This is not payback, it is a clear message; we're not going to continue voting for candidates who work against us.  We're cleaning house and throwing them out, and those who follow will not be allowed to ignore us ever again.

    November 4, 2008, will be the day the 99.9% launch our counterattack in this undeclared class war.

    November 4, 2008, will be the day of reckoning for the Washington D.C. money machine, and the beginning of true freedom and justice in America.

    November 4, 2008, will be the day of the 99.9%--the day of the people.

    November 4, 2008, will be the day the 99.9% say:

    We're mad as hell, and we're not going to take it anymore!
