It's a Walk-off!
"I made a mistake in presuming that the self-interests of organizations, specifically banks and others, were such as that they were best capable of protecting their own shareholders and their equity in the firms,"
.......said by former Federal Reserve Chairman, Alan Greenspan, as he testified last Thursday in front of the House Committee of Government Oversight.

S.O.S.
CNN - A 90 year old Akron, Ohio woman attempted suicide Wednesday as police tried to evict her from her foreclosed home. She shot herself two times in the torso as authorities tried to enter her house and remove her.
After telling her story on House floor during a debate of the bailout, U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio said, "This bill fails to address the fact that millions of homeowners are facing foreclosure, are facing the loss of their home. This bill will take care of Wall Street, and the market may go up for a few days, but democracy is going downhill."

VOTE=VOICE
We just wanted to thank everyone who came out and supported Obama at Gallery Bar last Thursday.
WE RAISED ALMOST $10,000 FOR THE CAMPAIGN!!!!
It surpassed our own goals by a mile!!!!!!! And a special thanks to the DJs and Musicians as well as the other organizations and people like you and me that helped out. And now for even more encouraging news.....
WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. soldiers have donated more presidential campaign money to Democrat Barack Obama than to Republican John McCain, a reversal of previous campaigns in which military donations tended to favor GOP White House hopefuls, a nonpartisan group reported Thursday.
Troops serving abroad have given nearly six times as much money to Obama's presidential campaign as they have to McCain's, the Center for Responsive Politics said.
The results also are striking because they favored Obama, who never has served in the military. McCain meanwhile, is a decorated war veteran who spent nearly five years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. The Arizona senator graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and had a 22-year career as a naval aviator.
Obama has opposed the war in Iraq and says he would withdraw combat troops within 16 months. McCain has been a steadfast supporter of the war, saying he would withdraw the troops only when conditions on the ground warrant it.
"Obama will work tirelessly to uphold this nation's sacred trust with its veterans, to ensure they are not forgotten after they return home and he will provide our troops with the leadership they deserve, as well as the support they and their families need," Obama spokesman Nick Shapiro said.
McCain's campaign played down the significance of the donations.
"John McCain has been endorsed by more retired admirals and generals than Barack Obama has military donors," McCain spokesman Michael Goldfarb said in a statement.
"We feel confident that many U.S. troops stationed overseas will support John McCain in the election this fall, but we suspect most are too busy doing the important work of defending this country than to make political contributions," Goldfarb said.
Among soldiers serving overseas at the time of their donations, 134 gave a total of $60,642 to Obama while 26 gave a total of $10,665 to McCain.
The report tracked donations of $200 or more. It found that 859 members of the military donated a total of $335,536 to Obama. McCain received $280,513 from 558 military donors.

Record Smashing
While the NYTimes reported last week that the Obama campaign was straining to reach its money goals, Time reports today that August was a record smashing month.
Don't let that misguide you into thinking that everything is going to be ok though. We need to all work together to make sure that September is even better than August, not just in terms of fundraising, but also in terms of spreading the word, making phone calls, forwarding emails, and doing whatever else it takes to get Obama in the White House.
Over the next several days and weeks, seriously make an effort to squeeze some of these actions into your daily routine and use whatever mediums you have at your disposal to do so. At 432, our medium is music and parties. We manage to bring large groups of people together 1-2 times a month, so why not do it as part of something larger than this local party scene? That's what we're doing on 9/25, and we hope to help Barack smash yet another record for the month of September.
