STOP THIS BILL!

This evening at approximately 7 PM, Eastern Standard Time, the Congress of the United States will vote on a compromise 'economic stimulus package' that costs, with interest, 1.2 trillion dollars.

But members of Congress have not even seen the bill and do not know what's in it!

You read that right. Members of Congress do not even know what all is included in the bill due to the fact that various and sundry members drafted parts of the bill without knowing what was included in the rest of the legislation.

As of this hour members of Congress still have not been given a copy of the bill they are supposed to vote on. And the final document will be over 700 pages long.

My friends, this thing is incredible and embarrassing. Apart from the bill itself, which is a tax-payer robbing monstrosity that will do little to help the economy, the manner in which the bill was put together by the Democratic majority is a case study in ineptitude, befuddled thinking, and outright chaos that results from haphazardly throwing something together just because Obama wants it and they want to appear to be 'doing something.'

It is still not too late to defeat this bill. I would recommend bombarding with phone calls and emails the Congressional offices of Arlen Specter, Olympia Snowe, and Susan Collins, as well as others who could be persuaded to vote no.

This bill needs to be stopped. Your country may depend on it.
