COAST calls on members urgently to contact their members of Congress to oppose “worst idea of our lifetime”

COAST calls on its members to contact their Congressmen and Senators immediately to oppose the latest $700 Billion bailout for America’s richest citizens proposed by President Bush.  The vote in Congress presently is anticipated Thursday or Friday.  To date, the actual language of the largest bailout bill in American history, which Brit Hume of Fox News says will be voted by the most unpopular Congress in American history at “historic speed,” has not even been presented.

Jason Gloyd, COAST Chairman, called the plan “socialism for billionaires and the worst idea of our lifetimes,” and said “it is the start of our fastest descent into a government-controlled economy in American history.  Washington’s interference in financial markets has created this crisis, and Washington’s welfare for billionaires will just exacerbate the pain for middle class taxpayers and prolong the downward descent.”
