_ A necessary evil. — Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D.
_ A full-scale intervention of our country’s free markets. — Sen. Michael Enzi, R-Wyo.
_ $700 billion to keep CEOs in their office. — Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J.

Obviously you’re concerned about what’s happening in DC. Please see my blog. It’s urgent that we send a message to the Senate they aren’t going to get off free by rerouting the bailout bill their to avoid retribution in November. There are some tools to help do it.
