Resistance to Paulson Plan a good deal more than polls indicate evidently as fellow on BTV is saying legislators are being inundated with e-mail and calls running 20-1 against the Paulson Plan. That seeming vestigial backbone in Congess now seems to be but their nervousness at their constiuents revolt. If it was for not flood of protest for this would have rubberstamped as writ already. Regards discrepency between public polls versus those protesting to congresspersons, we have found a shocking amount that can't name the first president of the U.S. or locate the U.S. on a Globe with no names. In otherwords, i would guess 80% of all those polled on the Paulson Plan don't understand the question. And i'd bet 35% probably walked away saying "Who is Paulson??" As Jefferson so rightly stated Democracy can exist ONLY where their is a highly informed public. a few Jefferson quotes that apply to NOW "I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country" Thomas Jefferson ---- "I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."Thomas jefferson __________________ "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be."Thomas Jefferson ___________________________ "Bodily decay is gloomy in prospect, but of all human contemplations the most abhorrent is body without mind."Thomas Jefferson --------------- "Experience demands that man is the only animal which devours his own kind, for I can apply no milder term to the general prey of the rich on the poor." Thomas Jefferson --------------------------- "Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear."Thomas Jefferson --------------------------------------- " I abhor war and view it as the greatest scourge of mankind.".Thomas Jefferson ---------------------------- "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs" Thomas Jefferson -------------------------------- "I have sworn upon the alter of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."Thomas Jefferson _____________________________________ "Whenever a man has cast a longing eye on offices, a rottenness begins in his conduct.'
