[...] Mr. Ramsey laid it out on Mike Huckabee’s Fox News show Saturday night and then this morning, Jeff Noble linked to the more fleshed out plan on Ramsey’s website.Â I’d urge you to click the link and [...]

I emailed both offices. I could not get through by phone when I was trying to call. You KNOW that the bigger story here (that the MSM is not reporting) is the dramatic and total response of the American public AGAINST this bailout.

The MSM is so caught up in the frenzy that they cannot back up and see the ridiculous haste and rush involved in foisting this off onto tax payers.

got me an email response from senator vitter already! he’s opposed and spelled out three very good reasons why. i had mentioned dave ramsey’s plan in my email to him, but unfortunately sen. vitter didn’t address that part, but i’m pleased to know that he doesn’t support the bailout. waiting on sen. landrieu and rep. alexander now (btw, my represntative voted “no”!)…

Thanks for keeping us informed. So many times we just believe what the liberal media puts out.

dude…

i’ve been reading and watching ramsey put this forth for for over a week now. he was on huckabee’s new fox news show over the weekend and laid this plan out (not quite in as much detail because there were two other guests on with him).

it is brilliant in its simplicity and its cost-effectiveness for the american taxpayer. i believe the senate bill includes, in some various forms, some of ramsey’s ideas, but they still insist on keeping the gigantic bailout money in there, thinking that throwing us a few bones will make us be ok with that.

i wrote my congressman already regarding monday’s vote, and now i’m going to pass this along to my senators. unfortunately, one of them is uber-liberal mary landrieu, so i don’t have much confidence there. but david vitter will hopefully listen to reason.

i’m linking to this on my blog. folks need to realize there are things that can be done that won’t cost a trillion bucks… and the less tinkering the better. few are mentioning this, but monday, the stock market, which lost 700 points that day, was already down 500 points before the vote was even taken, and rebounded almost 500 points on tuesday, so the doom and gloom crowd isn’t fooling anybody who’s paying attention.
