Tell Congress no more blank check bailouts

Petition to End the Era of Blank Check Bailouts

We call on Congress to reject President Bush’s request for another $350 billion blank check bailout. The Congress must follow their constitutional role and provide guidelines and restrictions on any money given to banks and Wall Street. These include:

• Give priority – directly if possible – to help people keep their homes.
• Get public interest representatives or directors on bank boards in all of the banks receiving money.
• Penalize any bank that has been hoarding money from the first bailout

In a time of economic hardship, with people losing their jobs, health care, pensions, and homes, Americans need economic security. We need a raise in social security, less debt, and single payer universal health care reform.

We call on the Congress to end the era of blank check bailouts.
