You can bet that the 4 that voted for the bail out will not be re elected in Nov. They were NOT representing the majority of voters in N.C. The majority of North Carolinians did NOT support this bail out.

Watch David Price because B. J. Lawson will be ready to step into the 4th district Congressional Seat. There are so very many of across N. C. (not in the 4th district) that are working hard for B.J. Lawson ....we can't vote for him, but we can certainly campaign to get him elected.

It is no longer about a party, be it republican, democrat, or 3rd party. It is about electing the person that will not be afraid to stand up and do the correct thing, which is to follow the Constitution.

B. J. Lawson will stand up for the voters and he will work to UPHOLD the Constitution and defend it against all enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC. This bail out is un constitutional, as is the FEDERAL RESERVE.

Once the American public FINALLY realizes that the Federal Reserve is primarily responsible for this fiasco.....then the pieces will fall into place and they will understand why it needs to be abolished.

For those of you that do not know...The Federal Reserve is NOT a federally run agency. It is a collection of private bankers....some of the very bankers that are begging for us to bail them out! Do your research and educate yourselves.

It has become obvious to me that more and more Americans ARE waking up to the fact that there are "criminal elites" that are runing and ruining this country. "We the people" are now working to take back this country and demand that our elected representatives follow their oaths' of office.

I want to applaud our representatives that did have the courage to vote NO. I would also ask that they resist any and all arm twisting that will of course take place over the next few days.

It has already been mentioned that this bill may come up AGAIN this week. This will be a burden on all of us, and yes we will suffer financially, but, many economic experts believe we will recover much more quickly IF we do not do this bail out.

Not doing the bail out does not mean we do nothing. On the contrary, by voting NO to the bail out we have given Congress more time to wade through this mess and try to come up with a more viable solution, instead of the knee jerk "bail out" .

Please make sure that you take the time to email, call or write to your representative and Thank them for their No vote and ask them to stand strong against pressures to come. They need to hear from us they their vote was the right thing. Encourage them to continue to work and search for better solutions.
