Many of you who are younger are new to the issues and that is really great.
Thanks for a great new generation... we need you and we need you NOW!
Ol' timers listen up!
Larry Nichols was an insider involved in Whitewater and the Clinton administration. Long story but he had a paradigm shift and turned to the good side.
I've spoken with Larry. In fact it was about 10 years ago when I spoke with him the first time.
He has just said that we need to call our congressman about the bailout.
First he said do not call the senators... but rather
to call the congressman and say that he had you call.
You are to tell the congressman's office this; "Larry Nichols said to call and tell you that if you vote/voted for the bailout that he will do everything in his power to remove you from office."
Now folks you want a big club on this HERE IT IS!
To verify this go here and listen to it yourself
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Nichols-live#
If you want to call him directly call him on the phone.
He says no matter what they have done this weekend that we need to do this monday.
Let's get ready to engage and shed some light on these folks.

Many of you may not know this but Larry is a whistleblower.
He blew open Whitewater, Paula Jones, and many many other _____gates.
Let's get on the phones again and call these people Monday, and tell them Larry had us call.

As one who has written several submissions to my own PM (not that i ever received more than courteous reply lol ) the important thing to remember is to KEEP perservering. Create a groundswell - lead and others will follow.
At the very least - let them know which side of the fence (that you are currently sitting on) - you choose to make a stand!!!
Don't fear the illusion - there are more of us genuine people in this world than there are the false ones. Dont let them frighten you into thinking you are outnumbered in any way

I'm sure I'll get derided for being negative here...But I have a few questions.
From what I understand, Larry Nichols was a mid-level DC insider during the Clinton administration. Now he has a radio show on 'blog talk radio'.
How, prey tell, does he have the power to bring down members of congress? Do congressional representatives fear this person?
The benefactors of the now multi-TRILLION dollar bailout have the power to make congress and the senate bend over backwards and evidently hold sway over the President. Case in point - when they received public backlash (unexpectedly?) regarding their cash grab, they more or less ordered congress to stop talking to the press and continue their negotiations behind closed doors.
While I applaud Mr. Nichols stance on the issue, I wouldn't exactly think of him as a 'big club'. Does he have some tremendous amount of power that I am unaware of?
I emailed my congressman last week and told him that if he votes for the package, I will not vote for him. If there is more that I can do, I will do it. But I have to question Mr. Nichols' credentials on this one.

SPREAD THIS MESSAGE TO ALL!!!
SPREAD THE MESSAGE FAR AND WIDE, THIS IS OUR COUNTRY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT!!
SEND THE EMAIL TO ALL PRESS, RADIO, TV, 24 HR NEWS, CANDIDATES! SEND IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN! LET THEM KNOW WE ARE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND WE CAN NOT BE DEFEATED!!! CONGRESS WANTS WAR!
For far too long the American people have sat back and watched for any hope of one day again having a government that takes care of its people rather than the powerful and rich few.
It is with great regret that this day has been thrust on the hard working, good intentioned people of America.
As of this writing we understand that there has been a tentative agreement to the $700 billion bailout of the power elite. Creating a debt that will be borne by the American taxpayer.
This will not stand.
Today many Americans are disappointed that after letting their Congress men and women know in no uncertain terms that this bailout is unacceptable.
Congress has chosen to go against the will of the people they serve. It is time for the American people to understand we are at war.
I do not use the term 'war' lightly.
It matters only that we the people did not declare it, our government did, and to exact a war, one has to know who our government this time has declared war on. It is not the oil rich Middle East. Simply put, it is the American taxpayer. It is after having for many years backed away from a commitment agreed to by our forefathers, that we the people today must act.
Our forefathers warned that there would be days like this, and they were very succinct in their response for the actions we should take in this eventuality.
When our government runs amok, it is incumbent on we the people to overthrow it. Many for years have believed that terms like 'overthrowing the government' related to revolution meant guns, bombs, killing.
Because of that reality, it has been removed from the minds and hearts of most people.
The war to which I speak, the revolution that we must engage in, will use no such weapons.
There will need to be no mad rush to buy ammunition for the guns that shall and will remain silent.
Rather still we will use the weapons left for us by our forefathers and more lethal today than any military concept. It will be all the ammunition we will need.
That is our voice, our voices collectively, and our vote. With these weapons and ammunition, we will charge forward to overthrow a government that has absolutely ignored every man, woman, and child regardless of race or creed without the luxury of wealth.
Starting this day we will notify Congress, both Democrat, Republican, the president, the vice president, and both presidential candidates. This will not stand. The war will move presently on two fronts.
The first front is self-explanatory. It will be political.
To all in power that sign on to this bailout, you will be defeated in November.
The Nancy Pelosi's, the Harry Reed's, tonight we remind you, there was a time when the Republicans had control, and in case you have forgotten that was just two years ago. The American public gained the power in congress. This will happen again. And to the Democrats that believe they are immune to the conservative outspoken portion of America, you need only to know this: This day there is no conservative, no liberal, no republican, no Democratic - there are only Americans, and whichever party is in office this day that signs on to this bill, they will lose in November.
And so I would say to the Democrats who are laughing all the way to November, believing that they will gain power, more control, and have their terms at an absolute bow once again in Congress, you have made a serious mistake. If you add it up, Democrats have more seats in Congress, so therefore you, Pelosi, Reed, you have more to lose - for everywhere there is a Democrat in Congress being challenged by a Republican, the Republican will win; and for every Republican in office, there will be a Democrat that will win.
Do the math and look at where the power will lie.
To Obama and McCain: The American people believe, as you have with the cooperation of the media, convinced them that there is no choice; one or the other. Let me be very clear. There are other choices, and the mantra that will run throughout this nation will be 'anybody but you.'
I know that you believe that there cannot be a third party candidate that could surely glean enough votes to actually win. You may be right.
But as both of you should be keenly aware, neither of you have a vote that you can afford to lose.
Most directly to you, McCain, believe these words today, for any vote passed for a Libertarian candidate or the Constitutional candidate or the Green Party candidate, the deficit will be applied to you more so than Obama.
Make your choice well who you believe, and I will give you the choice that should be the will of the American people. Do not worry, Obama, for you are not free of risk because you should know better than anyone the damage this bill will cause to those of color in this country, and maybe they will figure out that you are more closely akin to the rich and power elite than you are to them.
The second front will be more serious than that of simply politics.
If this bill passes under the pretense that if it is not done then there could be runs on banks forcing the collapse of our financial institutions.
To all of the people of America, that may be you will turn into an absolute, with the passing of this bill, all Americans that cannot take it any more than have been pushed to the bottom more and more every day, your task is simple.
They are afraid of a run on banks.
You, we, will give it to them. With the signing of this bill, all are to go to their financial institution, get in line, and pull every single dollar out of your bank. I know you think that extreme.
We did not ask for this course.
We did not choose this action.
Our government betrayed us and sold us out.
They have given us no choice.
We did not pick this battle, but it is still within us that if a battle is to be waged, we the people will choose the battlefield. To this end, I say to you, the false entity that we still call our government, you are forcing the hand of the people you are supposed to serve, and you will be dealt with swiftly and absolutely.
To this corrupt form of government, you seem to have forgotten amidst the phone calls, the emails, the letters, that these interested people trying to communicate with you are actually the people you work for.
You represent us.
We are not your pawns to be led blindly around.
Choose wisely your actions because the American people have drawn finally a line in the sand, not of our choosing but out of necessity, to overthrow the government that has betrayed us.
I intend that this message be sent to you directly by as many people who feel obliged to do so.
It is only important that you hold, not the people that have become so compelled to take action, accountable.
If there is retribution, I suggest you aim it at me.
My name is Larry Nichols.
TO ALL THAT RECEIVE THIS:
You must move swiftly.
Email this over and over to every member of Congress,
the White House, the presidential candidates.
Let them see this now before the vote goes down tomorrow.
There is time to stop a needless war that will surely hurt us.
There will be casualties.
Be strong, be wise, and know you must fight; if not for you, for the people you love, your children, your grandchildren, your grandchildren's grandchildren, and if you cannot feel compelled to act, you will be complicit with the destruction of something we will call America.
Please act now.

Off to work, keep up the good fight.
Blessings, Nancy
This is his office's response:
Dear Nancy:
Thank you for writing to share your concerns on the current state of the U.S. economy and the government’s response to the ongoing stress on our financial markets, homeowners, and families.
From Wall Street to Main Street, the U.S. economy is in trouble. We have suffered 600,000 lost jobs since the beginning of this year, over a million families have lost their homes to foreclosure with millions more at risk, and many banks and other financial institutions are struggling to stay afloat. The bailout of investment bank Bear Stearns, the federal takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the Federal Reserve’s emergency intervention to save AIG, and the emergency Treasury action to shore up money market mutual funds demonstrate the seriousness of the situation we face.
In response to these concerns, Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Paulson have met with congressional leaders to request legislation that would authorize direct intervention in the economy. The plan would grant the Treasury Secretary $700 billion to purchase bad assets from financial institutions. By doing so, the Treasury would inject much needed liquidity into the market and work to rescue the economy from a worsening downturn.
While I agree that urgent and decisive action is necessary during this time of economic turmoil, I will not grant a blank check for billions of taxpayer dollars to the Treasury to bail out banks, with no oversight, accountability, guaranteed help for homeowners, or even assurances that the risky plan will work to the benefit of American workers and taxpayers.
Instead, we must insist upon a plan that includes relief for burdened homeowners, ensures restraints on exorbitant executive salaries, and ensures that the American people share in the upside as Wall Street recovers. It is also critical that the power to spend $700 billion is not left to the discretion of any one person but is instead under the rigorous oversight of an independent and bipartisan board.
Further, we need to move forward on a second emergency economic stimulus plan including tax rebates to help families cope with rising food and gas prices and investments in jobs and relief for state budgets.
In closing, be assured that as this process moves forward I will continue to work for a fast, fair and viable response to our nation’s economic crisis. Again, Nancy, thank you for sharing your comments and concerns with me. Please feel keep in touch on this, or other matters of importance to you.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama
United States Senator

Hi Avalon,
I have to think that today we made a difference. And a member of humanity I want to thank all of you for your efforts for all of our sakes.
Please give yourself a pat on the back!
Enjoy the victory, and put on your thinking hat, because this is just round one.
Polish the armour, sharpen your sticks while we toast and get some rest.
We have a long road ahead of us.
The people on this forum have to be among the cutting edge in knowing what is coming down. And because of that we have a big responsibility. We are the cutting edge on the plow cutting new terrority, and that spot on the plow gets the most beat up. BUT if you are on this forum that is probably what you are here for.
So let's keep our arms locked together and move like the warriors we have been called to be.
We will need to keep posted on the forums any information about their next move. I have no idea how to best do that, but it seems to me that putting it in several locations will make sure everyone is made aware of what their next move is.
I'm going to enjoy a cup of coffee.

Ol' timers listen up!
Larry Nichols was an insider involved in Whitewater and the Clinton administration. Long story but he had a paradigm shift and turned to the good side.
I've spoken with Larry. In fact it was about 10 years ago when I spoke with him the first time.
He has just said that we need to call our congressman about the bailout.
First he said do not call the senators... but rather
to call the congressman and say that he had you call.
You are to tell the congressman's office this; "Larry Nichols said to call and tell you that if you vote/voted for the bailout that he will do everything in his power to remove you from office."
Now folks you want a big club on this HERE IT IS!
To verify this go here and listen to it yourself
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Nichols-live#
If you want to call him directly call him on the phone.
He says no matter what they have done this weekend that we need to do this monday.
Let's get ready to engage and shed some light on these folks.

This is the email he's sent out to his subscribers Enjoy!
Friends,
Let me cut to the chase. The biggest robbery in the history of this country is taking place as you read this. Though no guns are being used, 300 million hostages are being taken. Make no mistake about it: After stealing a half trillion dollars to line the pockets of their war-profiteering backers for the past five years, after lining the pockets of their fellow oilmen to the tune of over a hundred billion dollars in just the last two years, Bush and his cronies -- who must soon vacate the White House -- are looting the U.S. Treasury of every dollar they can grab. They are swiping as much of the silverware as they can on their way out the door.
No matter what they say, no matter how many scare words they use, they are up to their old tricks of creating fear and confusion in order to make and keep themselves and the upper one percent filthy rich. Just read the first four paragraphs of the lead story in last Monday's New York Times and you can see what the real deal is:
"Even as policy makers worked on details of a $700 billion bailout of the financial industry, Wall Street began looking for ways to profit from it.
"Financial firms were lobbying to have all manner of troubled investments covered, not just those related to mortgages.
"At the same time, investment firms were jockeying to oversee all the assets that Treasury plans to take off the books of financial institutions, a role that could earn them hundreds of millions of dollars a year in fees.
"Nobody wants to be left out of Treasury's proposal to buy up bad assets of financial institutions."
Unbelievable. Wall Street and its backers created this mess and now they are going to clean up like bandits. Even Rudy Giuliani is lobbying for his firm to be hired (and paid) to "consult" in the bailout.
The problem is, nobody truly knows what this "collapse" is all about. Even Treasury Secretary Paulson admitted he doesn't know the exact amount that is needed (he just picked the $700 billion number out of his head!). The head of the congressional budget office said he can't figure it out nor can he explain it to anyone.
And yet, they are screeching about how the end is near! Panic! Recession! The Great Depression! Y2K! Bird flu! Killer bees! We must pass the bailout bill today!! The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
Falling for whom? NOTHING in this "bailout" package will lower the price of the gas you have to put in your car to get to work. NOTHING in this bill will protect you from losing your home. NOTHING in this bill will give you health insurance.
Health insurance? Mike, why are you bringing this up? What's this got to do with the Wall Street collapse?
It has everything to do with it. This so-called "collapse" was triggered by the massive defaulting and foreclosures going on with people's home mortgages. Do you know why so many Americans are losing their homes? To hear the Republicans describe it, it's because too many working class idiots were given mortgages that they really couldn't afford. Here's the truth: The number one cause of people declaring bankruptcy is because of medical bills. Let me state this simply: If we had had universal health coverage, this mortgage "crisis" may never have happened.
This bailout's mission is to protect the obscene amount of wealth that has been accumulated in the last eight years. It's to protect the top shareholders who own and control corporate America. It's to make sure their yachts and mansions and "way of life" go uninterrupted while the rest of America suffers and struggles to pay the bills. Let the rich suffer for once. Let them pay for the bailout. We are spending 400 million dollars a day on the war in Iraq. Let them end the war immediately and save us all another half-trillion dollars!
I have to stop writing this and you have to stop reading it. They are staging a financial coup this morning in our country. They are hoping Congress will act fast before they stop to think, before we have a chance to stop them ourselves. So stop reading this and do something -- NOW! Here's what you can do immediately:
1. Call or e-mail Senator Obama. Tell him he does not need to be sitting there trying to help prop up Bush and Cheney and the mess they've made. Tell him we know he has the smarts to slow this thing down and figure out what's the best route to take. Tell him the rich have to pay for whatever help is offered. Use the leverage we have now to insist on a moratorium on home foreclosures, to insist on a move to universal health coverage, and tell him that we the people need to be in charge of the economic decisions that affect our lives, not the barons of Wall Street.
2. Take to the streets. Participate in one of the hundreds of quickly-called demonstrations that are taking place all over the country (especially those near Wall Street and DC).
3. Call your Representative in Congress and your Senators. (click here to find their phone numbers). Tell them what you told Senator Obama.
When you screw up in life, there is hell to pay. Each and every one of you reading this knows that basic lesson and has paid the consequences of your actions at some point. In this great democracy, we cannot let there be one set of rules for the vast majority of hard-working citizens, and another set of rules for the elite, who, when they screw up, are handed one more gift on a silver platter. No more! Not again!
Yours,
Michael Moore

P.S. Having read further the details of this bailout bill, you need to know you are being lied to. They talk about how they will prevent golden parachutes. It says NOTHING about what these executives and fat cats will make in SALARY. According to Rep. Brad Sherman of California, these top managers will continue to receive million-dollar-a-month paychecks under this new bill. There is no direct ownership given to the American people for the money being handed over. Foreign banks and investors will be allowed to receive billion-dollar handouts. A large chunk of this $700 billion is going to be given directly to Chinese and Middle Eastern banks. There is NO guarantee of ever seeing that money again.
P.P.S. From talking to people I know in DC, they say the reason so many Dems are behind this is because Wall Street this weekend put a gun to their heads and said either turn over the $700 billion or the first thing we'll start blowing up are the pension funds and 401(k)s of your middle class constituents. The Dems are scared they may make good on their threat. But this is not the time to back down or act like the typical Democrat we have witnessed for the last eight years. The Dems handed a stolen election over to Bush. The Dems gave Bush the votes he needed to invade a sovereign country. Once they took over Congress in 2007, they refused to pull the plug on the war. And now they have been cowered into being accomplices in the crime of the century. You have to call them now and say "NO!" If we let them do this, just imagine how hard it will be to get anything good done when President Obama is in the White House. THESE DEMOCRATS ARE ONLY AS STRONG AS THE BACKBONE WE GIVE THEM. CALL CONGRESS NOW.

I second Waterman's concerns. I can guarantee you that section 8, which removes court oversight and legal liability, will remain in whatever they throw at the unwilling congressman. I also learned about a portion of the bill which is very disturbing -
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/9/30/01617/5440/126/615177
this will allow banks to hold 0% reserves. This is tantamount to engineering the largest bank run in human history!

The market is ending over 400. Now that the markets are on the upswing, the media, needing something to point their gloom and doom sticks at, are pointing to the credit/lending sector. Credit is drying up, you won't be able to run out and buy that new gas hog, or oversized McMansion. The American public also needs to get a reality check and start to live within their means (myself included). It has been a rude awakening, especially for the kids who are used to running through the drive-through fast-food place (teenage boy) after school. These things add up, but we also need to grow up.

And if they voted for it, tell them that Larry Nichols
is going to do everything in his power to remove
them from office.
Here is the TO DO LIST link;

About Larry
It's no secret that Larry Nichols has been credited with releasing the majority of the scandals about Bill Clinton during his terms as President. It was Larry and his role in the "Clinton Circle of Power" and "Clinton Chronicles" videos, in his book, "The Genie is out of the Bottle" and this website that kept the Clinton Administration off balance and prevented many of their socialist agendas from being enacted and destroying our Great Nation.
As a Freedom Fighter for America, Larry through his unceasing dedication, hard hitting videos and never-ending appearances on talk radio shows throughout the nation, sometimes 24 hrs a day, even to this day, he is fighting to prevent the Clintons from achieving their ultimate goal of "Global Power." He is the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" Hillary Clinton whines about.
Larry has been quoted as saying; "It is time for all Americans to renew their commitment to protect our country and the future of our children from the enemies of freedom and to preserve the American Way of Life. It is time once and for all to put God, country and family first in our lives and resist those that put political careers and personal agendas above the interests of the people and the Nation."
LARRY IS BACK and this web site is ready to help you help Larry in his quest to keep America Free. This will be the most ambitious mission in his life. Fighting Bill Clinton, the mob and the political machine that protects the Clintons was tough. But getting between Hillary Clinton and her chance to be the President of the United States, a position that would make her the most powerful person in the world, more than ever before puts Larry in the eye of the storm. If you think it won't be dangerous just take a look at the list of people that have died mysterious deaths.
Larry refuses to let us make any statements directly connecting these deaths to the Clintons without being able to prove them in a court of law, so you look at the list and come to your own conclusions. But ask yourself if you would do what Larry is doing? With his proven personal knowledge of Bill and Hillary and the information he has on them and his ability to get information out to the people in spite of the main stream media, Larry has earned the right of be called a Freedom Fighter for America. As history has proven Larry will fight, with or without our help, to stand against those that choose to destroy this Great Nation.
Larry is the only person that has been saying that Hillary is actually running for the Presidency in 2004. He has been warning the country for months that she's running and "Nichols Notes" will show how you can understand the truth about her secret plans, as only Larry does. Remember, Larry was the one that told us that if Hillary ran for United States Senator in New York, that she would win. Conservative pundits told you that she didn't have a chance, especially since she wasn't even from New York. We believed the pundits and not Larry and she's now the junior Senator from New York and the third most powerful person in the country, if not the world. Even though Larry has proven time and time again that he knows the Clintons better than anyone else, many of us thought that he just couldn't be right. He was and we have learned another valuable lesson when it comes to the Clintons. don't bet against Larry.
LarryNichols.com is dedicated in our attempt to help Larry fight for America and to let him know that he is not alone in his efforts as a Freedom Fighter and True Patriot of America. After all, his battle is for all of us and the future of our children and grandchildren. It should be considered an honor to join in the fight to save America and become a Freedom Fighter alongside Larry. Join the battle and become a Freedom Fighter for America and while you're at it sign up for "Nichols Notes" to stay informed with up to the minute intel and the latest battle plans for the last battle for America.
Larry says "Hillary is running for President in 20**" and reading "Nichols Notes" is your best way to understand why and how it is happening. Get "Nichols Notes" so that you can hear from Larry every week, even if you can't hear him on the radio or miss his appearances on television.
In closing, let us say, welcome to LarryNichols.com. Please stop by often, because we are dedicated to keeping you updated in the battle to save our Nation.
