... They 'kept their heads when all about them were losing theirs' Online petition supports their stand against the Wall Street/Washington establishment
MANASSAS, Va., Sept. 28 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "Future generations of
conservatives - future generations of Americans - will remember the small band
of House Republicans who stood up to all the pressure and fought the Wall
Street bailout," Richard A. Viguerie said today. "They will be remembered as
heroes.
"When others were panicking, and trying to frighten the American people
into supporting a foolish, reckless bailout scheme, they stood their ground
and fought to preserve the American economy and the American economic system.
"They kept their heads when all about them were losing theirs."
Viguerie has established an online petition to show support for their
stand. The petition reads: "To House Republicans: We the undersigned strongly
support your heroic efforts to protect the American people from the $700
billion Wall Street bailout." It can be signed at

Viguerie said that the overwhelmingly negative public response to the
bailout - with members of Congress reporting that phone calls and e-mails are
running between 10-to-1 and 100-to-1 against the proposal - shows that the
people "get it," Viguerie said, "and the anti-bailout House Republicans are on
their side."
