Help stop the "Rich People's Election Ransom Request Act" by calling your Senators and US Representative

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.

From familiarity to usage to importance, social media is far more prevalent in the Inc. 500 than previous research would predict. And where these fast-growing, innovative companies lead certainly the corporate world will follow. The social media revolution is here. That opens up more opportunities for the entire ecosystem.

It must also be noted that blogs are becoming more international than could have been expected. In summary, blogging takes time, commitment, and honesty. In return connections are made that are personal and strong. Blogs are not a fad. They are no longer even an option. Those businesses that choose to remain outside this online conversation, will be sidelined. Eventually they will become extinct. The hype is real.
