The event was organized by the Boston Chapter of the Association of Community Organizations for Community Reform Now and the Massachusetts Alliance Against Predatory Lending.

Bailout Outrage Races Across the Web
The Internet is flooded with angst about Treasury Secretary Paulson’s proposed $700 billion bailout—and inspiring old-fashioned street protests
by Moira Herbst Business week
Arun Gupta was enraged as he learned the details of Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson’s plan to fix the U.S. banking system with $700 billion in taxpayer funds. The 43-year-old copy editor and freelance journalist, who publishes his own alternative newspaper, The Indypendent, needed to channel his angst but couldn’t find a live protest to attend. So on Sept. 22, he sent an e-mail to some politically active friends in New York. Within days, they’d planned a protest against the bailout in New York and at 80 other locations in the U.S. on Sept. 25. Read the rest of this entry »

Tell McCain – Oppose Derivatives Rense
Bailout Or Drop Out
Of White House Bid
By Webster G. Tarpley
9-25-8
WASHNGTON, DC — Supporters of John McCain should tell their man right away and in no uncertain terms that he needs to take the lead in opposing the insane and futile derivatives bailout demanded by the Wall Street financial parasites through their spokesmen Hanky-Panky Paulson and Helicopter Ben Bernanke. Obama, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Rockefellers, Soros, and Goldman Sachs, is a sure vote in favor of whatever monstrosity Paulson is able to extort. If McCain were to join Barky in voting to flay the American people alive for the sake of Wall Street’s derivatives casino, he might as well give up the race for the White House and go home. If McCain were to accept Obama’s weasel demand for a joint statement in support of the bailout, the Arizona senator might as well drop out. Two thirds of the American people are not supporting the $700 billion bailout. A growing anti-elitist and anti-oligarchical rage is abroad in the land. If Obama and McCain are in a united front to support Wall Street blackmail, voters will conclude that Obama is a plausible candidate, and he will emerge victorious. Read the rest of this entry »
