We Can Stop the European Bank Bailout

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.

Bobby Bright AL-02
Parker Griffith AL-05
Ann Kirkpatrick AZ-01
Suzanne Kosmos FL-24
Walt Mitnick ID-01
Frank Kratovil MD-01
Glenn Nye VA-02
Tom Perriello VA-05

Once you’ve called these people, use the same number and call these members, all of whom are in heavy Republican districts:

Travis Childers (MS-01)
Harry Mitchell (AZ-05)
Gabby Giffords (AZ-08)
Jim Marshall (GA-08)
John Barrow (GA-12)
Bill Foster (IL-14)
Baron Hill (IN-09)

    CO-4. She’s a freshman democrat in a +10 Republican district and will be facing a formidable opponent in 2010. She’s been trying to play both sides of the fence so far, so this might be one where she’d throw a bone to conservatives.

    In the last century alone we had to save Europe from its self three times.
    World war one, two, and the cold wars.
    When are they going to learn to wipe thier own?

    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.
