Start Spreading the News: Stockgate Goes Nationwide By Mark Faulk Nov. 8, 2005
While Time Magazine finally gets it right, Congress continues to sit on their hands and do absolutely nothing to protect our country's economy. A Senate Banking Subcommittee Hearing originally scheduled for February of this year was postponed time and again, and then finally shelved altogether by Banking Committee Chairman Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL). Shelby sold every American, at least every American who isn't a millionaire, down the river.
If the money lost to Americans was over a trillion dollars a year and a half ago, how much of our country's wealth has been lost to foreign interests since then? How much of that has fallen into the hands of terrorist organizations and used to fund attacks against our own soldiers in Iraq and around the world? How much has financed organized crime activities? How many companies could have been saved since then, and how many more investors have been robbed of their retirement, and in many cases, their entire life savings?
What could we have done with the lost revenues, both in taxes and job creation? Were those the tax dollars that could have paid for repairing the flood and levee system whose failure destroyed New Orleans and half of the Gulf coast along with it? How much could have been put into education, or used to help eliminate cuts to programs that assist our children, our poor, and our elderly? How much could we have paid on our out of control national debt?
We applaud writer Daniel Kadlec and Time Magazine for finally picking up the torch that we and others like us have carried for so long, but that's not the real issue here. The real issue is this: Why did it take the major media so damn long to cover this story, and how much longer do we have to wait before our elected officials in Congress join them, and finally, at long last, do the right thing for America?
And then, do your part to stop this massive fraud against our country:
THIS NEEDS TO BE A NATIONWIDE CAMPAIGN!:
It's time to bury Senator Richard Shelby, who sold America down the river when he cancelled a pending Senate Banking Subcommittee hearing on naked short selling and stock counterfeiting. Email him or call him, and tell everyone you know to do the same. Post this information EVERYWHERE:
Call Senator Shelby at (202) 224-5744, or email him at: senator@shelby.senate.gov .Tell him how simple this issue really is....you pay for your stock, your broker goes out and buys it, and delivers it to you. The end.
