Activism Alert: Contact Congress Now to Vote No on Stimulus

By Phil

Welcome to The Right Side of Life’s first “Action Alert!” If you’re reading my blog, you obviously have at least a passing interest in the goings-on of today’s politics.

For those of you who are American citizens (especially those ex-pats living overseas that visit this site), now is the time to get your voice heard.

As I’ve documented here and here, the President’s stimulus plan as it stands right now is really nothing more than a boondoggle of government largesse and waste. Think about it this way: if the typical contractor includes 10% of the project as waste and/or overruns, and let’s say that the final bill is $900 billion, that means at the very least there will be a bare minimum of $90 billion in waste, just off the top – and that assumes all the rest of the bill is legitimate!

Just say no. But, you have got to say no. Consider this admonition from AmericasRight.com as well as these helpful links from InvestigatingObama:

• Senators’ and representatives’ addressses, telephone and fax numbers, and email addresses
• Additional contact information, including staff of Senate & House leaders’ staff

Update: RedState.com presents “20 Facts About the Stimulus.”

Update: At least one Democrat, Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-PA), Chair of the Financial Services subcommittee on Capital Markets, Insurance and Government Sponsored Enterprises, is beginning to question the President’s stimulus plan.
