Just a heads-up for those who haven't checked their email boxes and a reminder for those who haven't replied to it yet.

We are facing a financial crisis as profound as any we have faced since the Great Depression.

Congress and the President are currently debating a bailout of our financial institutions with a price tag of $700 billion in taxpayer dollars. We cannot underestimate our responsibility in taking such an enormous step.

Please sign on to show your support for an economic recovery plan based on these guiding principles:

* No Golden Parachutes -- Taxpayer dollars should not be used to reward the irresponsible Wall Street executives who helmed this disaster.
* Main Street, Not Just Wall Street -- Any bailout plan must include a payback strategy for taxpayers who are footing the bill and aid to innocent homeowners who are facing foreclosure.
* Bipartisan Oversight -- The staggering amount of taxpayer money involved demands a bipartisan board to ensure accountability and oversight.

There's a text box for you to share your story. We've been through the ARM mess several years ago and we paid for it dearly. Our mortgage payment went from around $750.00 a month to almost $1,200.00 and we lost our home because of it. So I just let the campaign know about our experience even though it's not a recent experience.

I also added my opinion about the bail-out but I'm sure they're smarter than me and are aware of the traps (thanks DU for all the info)
