I just found out that the "Rich People's Election Ransom Request Act", aka, the "Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008" is being put to a vote at 1:00 pm.

Please go to the Sunlight Foundation's Read The Bill First! petition and sign it.

Then use our "Instant Congress Phone" widget to find your US Senators and  Representative. If you feel like sharing who you called, their phone numbers and what you told them over the phone, please use our comments section.

In my case it's Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton and your Carolyn Maloney. Am asking them to give the people time to take a look at this proposal and comment on it.

Sen. Charles Schumer
202-224-6542 [voice]
202-228-3027 [fax]

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton
202-224-4451 [voice]
202-228-0282 [fax]

Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (NY14)
202-225-7944 [voice]
202-225-4709 [fax]

FYI : Chuck Schumer's office sounds busy (I've called 5 times). I still have to call Maloney.
