Barack Obama wants to bail out European banks.
No, it is no joke. He really wants to. He is going to send the International Monetary Fund billions of dollars that will then be used to do in Europe what Obama has done here.
We can stop it.
House Republicans are going to vote in a block to oppose this, which means around thirty Democrats are needed. The Blue Dog Democrats are logical targets. Those Democrats who represent districts that tilt Republican can be pressured. And among them, the freshman Blue Dogs can really be pressured.
Call 202-224-3121. Ask for the members of Congress below and tell them to oppose H.R. 2346, the 2009 Supplemental Appropriations Act.

Parker Griffith AL-05

We don't have enough money for our own buttes, let alone Europes.

World war one, two, and the cold wars.
When are they going to learn to wipe thier own?
They say Republicans are for the rich, Democrats are for the poor.
If they need more voters,
then they have to make more of who they are for.
We are there in the various Tea Party groups, leaderless, but not rudderless.
We steer always toward the Constitutional principles this nation was founded upon.

Marcus_Traianus (Diary) Wednesday, June 10th at 1:27PM EST (link)Russian announced today it is divesting some of their US Treasury holdings (reported to be at least $10 billion). Where is that money going? Into new bonds being issued by the IMF.
Russia’s main concern is Dollar depreciation and the rising Obama-Democrat debt burden. In other words, quality of US assets is depreciating.
There is also an increase in currency swaps between some of these countries- subject for another day, but overall not really a great development for the US.
“Both of our political parties, at least the honest portion of them, agree conscientiously in the same object—the public good; but they differ essentially in what they deem the means of promoting that good. One side believes it best done by one composition of the governing powers; the other, by a different one. One fears most the ignorance of the people; the other, the selfishness of rulers independent of them. Which is right, time and experience will prove.”.Thomas Jefferson
