Another message from the Libertarian Party of GA

Dear friend of liberty,

Just in case we weren't sure before -- after last night's Senate approval of
the horrid "bailout" bill, we now know both our US Senators prefer security
to freedom. We know you lit up their phone lines like Christmas trees. We
know you clogged up their emailboxes and voicemail systems. We know you
told them "Vote NO on the bailout bill!" And we know they ignored you.
There is only one way to make them understand your disapproval. It is
imperative that you vote against Saxby Chambliss this November. Libertarian
candidate Allen Buckley would have voted "NO." The opportunity to take
Johnny Isakson to the woodshed will have to wait.

The bailout bill now goes back to the US House Of Representatives. Our
Congressmen now face the most momentous vote of their lives. We, their
constituents, must make them understand their political careers are hanging
on this issue. Please, please, please: call your Congressman and tell them
"I want you to vote NO on the bailout bill!"

The issue is freedom versus security. The freedom of financial markets.
The freedom of businesses to compete and maybe succeed, maybe fail. The
freedom of individuals to act with the knowledge that we actually have
control over our fates. The other choice is a false one, because "security"
here means becoming subjects instead of citizens. It means fewer options
for our financial decisions. It means more bureaucratic hoops to jump
through. It means the "security" of being wards of the state. When it
comes to nationalizing the financial sector of our economy, the only
acceptable vote is for freedom.

We know and heed Benjamin Franklin's advice: "They who would give up an
essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or
security."

We must get that message across to our Congressmen. And we must be prepared
to punish at the polls the ones who ignore us.

Here's what to do:
CALL YOUR CONGRESSMAN AGAIN!.
Here are their phone numbers again:
GA01 Representative Jack Kingston - (202) 225-5831
GA02 Representative Sanford Bishop - (202) 225-3631
GA03 Representative Lynn Westmoreland - (202) 225-5901
GA04 Representative Hank Johnson - (202) 225-1605
GA05 Representative John Lewis - (202) 225-3801
GA06 Representative Tom Price - (202) 225-4501
GA07 Representative John Linder - (202) 225-4272
GA08 Representative Jim Marshall - (202) 225-6531
GA09 Representative Nathan Deal - (202) 225-5211
GA10 Representative Paul Broun - (202) 225-4101
GA11 Representative Phil Gingrey - (202) 225-2931
GA12 Representative John Barrow - (202) 225-2823
GA13 Representative David Scott - (202) 225-2939

It is critical that people living in the 2nd and 8th district call soon and
often; Sanford Bishop and Jim Marshall voted FOR the bailout bill on Monday.
Libertarians revere the founding fathers for their wisdom and their courage.
Their love of freedom beats strong in our breasts. The betrayal of liberty
shown by our Senators, and the possibility of it with our Congressmen, makes
us think of the words of Samuel Adams. Not one month after he and the other
signers of The Declaration Of Independence pledged their lives, their
fortunes, and their sacred honor to the cause of liberty, Adams addressed
delegates and the public in Philadelphia. Think of our legislators as you
read his words; think of those who have voted to ignore our instructions and
opted for statism instead of individualism. Adams told the crowd "If ye
love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the
animating contest of freedom -- go from us in peace. We ask not your
counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your
chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our
countrymen!"

Those Congressmen who vote for "tranquility of servitude rather than the
animating contest of freedom" must be held accountable. Every single one of
them is up for reelection on November 4th. Note which ones (like Senator
Chambliss) vote for this socialist bailout bill, and cast your ballot
accordingly.

CALL YOUR CONGRESSMAN NOW AND TELL HIM "I WANT YOU TO VOTE "NO" ON THE
BAILOUT BILL!"

The Libertarian Party of Georgia thanks you for acting on this alert. Our
economic freedom, our personal liberty, and our capitalist way of life are
at stake!
