Let's hear the truth!

Coward's need not apply!

1.You don't agree with it? Why not?
2.Are you afraid you will be audited, or some other crazy horse****?
3.You are a self-absorbed leech****?
4.You are too lazy to read the petitions?
5.You are a...shall we say traitor, not trader?
6.You are afraid you will receive the wrath of Karl?
7.You are not a citizen?
8.You work for the Fed/Treas?

I want to hear from those in the "gold star" club.

If they have the money to join.....they have the money to eat. WTF?

I think Gen's "I gotta eat" was in response to Nanna's statement that signing could cost her her job.

#7 - I am Canadian.

I did write, however, directly. What happens in the US affects us in Canada, too.

I didn't agree with it the last time I looked at it. Looking at it again, it appears to have changed.

I didn't sign for one reason: I don't pretend to know what should be done in this situation.

I don't think it's a 'good' idea to crash the banking system, and I fear this would occur were all the banks forced to 'come clean' immediately and all at the same time.

Maybe the banking system will crash regardless, that seems possible. But I don't think we need to spur it on.

I did not sign this time because I am very reluctant to use my residential address on anything. My preference is to use my PO box address but the petition would not allow me to use the PO box (mailing) address.

I signed even though there is the potential for future pay growth going down the drain by my signing this. Can't say more than that.

If the job goes, the knowledge learned here does not. Bigger than that, this is important in a way that my risk is not more important than the better of a lot of other people.

I couldn't justify not putting my own personal comfort level on the line.

I signed.

Honesty is always the best way out of a jam.

I have no confidence it will happen.

Someone said democracy would work until the population realized they could vote themselves free money from the treasury.... well, I think that time has come. I hope I'm wrong. We'll see.

7. A petition will have no effect in restoring Financial Security to the US. We have a systemic problem. A strongly worded letter from the UN is about as effective.

Yeah right Run.

That's why I heard almost direct quotes from BOTH petitions in Bernanke's questioning today.

If 100,000 signatures had landed on desks Bernanke would have had the Chrysler building up his ass.

Hi Sunriser1,

I just tried again, and it says:

"Please use your home address and not a Post Office Box

Press the BACK button and correct the above errors."

Edit: Forget it, don't want to use my residential address. Yes, it is my registered voting address. But I don't want anything, any mail coming to my street address. Period.
