Subject: UPDATE: Template Action Alert for National Day of Action
(Bush-Paulson Bailout)
Importance: High

Good afternoon all.

This morning we outlined a proposal for the National Day of Action
against the Bush-Paulson Bailout. We have completed the construction of
the website and on-line tool for individuals to host and find out about
events in their community. You can visit the website at:

http://www.truemajority.org/NoBailout/Event
<http://www.truemajority.org/NoBailout/Event/> 

Below is a template action alert that you can customize and send out to
your networks to encourage participation in the national day of action
Thursday September 25th. We highly encourage you to send this alert out
this evening, no later than early tomorrow morning.

Thanks to Roberta Spivek for allowing groups to use American Friends
Service Committee's (AFSC) 1-800# to generate additional calls into
Congress on this important issue. Below are the phone and the disclaimer
that must be included along with the 1-800# in any message/alert asking
your network to make phone calls to Congress. 

We want to generate as many actions as possible around the country, so
it is important to make the higher ask of your network to participate in
the National Day of Action. In just two hours over 20 events have
already been scheduled.

Finally, we would like to have your organization's logo listed on the
website before you send out the alert to your network. Please send your
organization's logo to [email-masked].

If you have questions please let me know. 

Thanks. 

Template Alert for National Day of Action 

Dear <<recipient>>,

Our pressure is working. For two days progressives around the country
have been calling their Senators and Representatives to say "NO" to the
Bush-Paulson bailout plan. Now news is beginning to come out that, many
lawmakers are having second thoughts about going along with the
administration's plan. 

Key Members are proposing serious changes to the Bush-Paulson bailout
plan that would start putting Main Street first and insisting that no
blank checks be given to corporate CEO's.

But we need to keep it up. The proposed bailout is still a
$700,000,000,000 dollar check from our bank accounts to bail out Wall
Street. As written, it would be the largest giveaway of public money in
American history. 

Former Federal Reserve Chairman, Alan Greenspan, said "This is the worst
financial crisis since the Great Depression." We have an historic
emergency, and it's on us to make our voices heard.

This Thursday, September 25th at 5 pm we need to organize Emergency
Rallies against the Bailout nationwide.

START AN EMERGENCY RALLY AGAINST THE BAILOUT NOW:

To setup events:   http://www.truemajority.org/NoBailout/Event
<http://www.truemajority.org/NoBailout/Event/> 

To find an existing event in your area:
http://www.truemajority.org/NoBailout/Search
<http://www.truemajority.org/NoBailout/Search/> 

Once you pick a time and place we'll help turnout other progressives to
your event and provide signs you can print out and a sample program. The
most important thing is for you to pick a spot where you'll be seen and
start inviting other people you know right now.

Together we'll send a clear message that America Says NO! to the
Bush-Paulson Bailout!
