No to Taxpayer Funded Bailout: Join the Coalition

Let the market decide, Americans have paid enough.

Santa Cruz, CA – With over 1,000 signatures within 24 hours of its launch, NoCashforTrash.org is a new website geared as a coalition to “stop the taxpayer-funded bailouts.” By linking to numerous organizations and politicians in opposition to the bailouts and providing a real time stream of media news and individual commentary on the proposed financial system bailouts, the site is a hub for the anti-bailout movement. It is created by Terra Eclipse, Inc.

“The proposed bailout is wildly unpopular. If the vote passes today, you know there is a critical disconnect between the American people, and the Washington elite." Martin Avila, CEO of Terra Eclipse. “Using new media tools like Twitter, Facebook, and Digg along with traditional netroots calls to action, at NoCashforTrash.org have built a growing coalition from across the political spectrum. Our goal is to highlight those organizations and individuals who champion the American taxpaying public's wishes.”

NoCashforTrash.org will continue to work through any bailout decision to highlight the effects on American families. This includes holding politicians directly accountable for their final decision. Today, NoCashforTrash.org has launched the “Rep. Tracker” showing all 535 members of congress and allowing users to post their representatives position on the bailout. This tool will foster and encourage user participation, allowing for site users to track calls, email communication, and news coverage of their representatives in regards to the bailout.

“People are flooding the congressional switchboards opposing this legislation. It's time to get beyond the rhetoric and scare tactics used by those in the White House and on Capitol Hill. If politicians are going to vote for this legislation, their constituents want to know why. Our tool will allow American's to record interactions with representatives and their staff. American's deserve to know, from each politician, how this is going to help them if their representatives vote in favor of this legislation.” Martin Avila continues.

Any organization wishing to join the coalition is encouraged to email info@nocashfortrash.org.

Featured members of Nocashfortrash.org's non-partisan coalition include the National Taxpayers Union, Freedom Works, Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty, William “BJ” Lawson for Congress, UnitedLiberty.org, and Doug Cloud for Congress.

Terra Eclipse, Inc. is a political new media strategy and development firm based out of Santa Cruz , California . They were vital in the production of the Ron Paul 2008 presidential campaign web presence, raising a primary election record $6 million in a single day.
