Chalk One Up for Democracy

Has the Paulson Plan finally awakened the sleeping giant again?

Representative democracy seems to be working today, as US citizens have put a (finally) irresistable tidal wave of pressure on their elected officials NOT to sell our childrens' financial futures down the river.

Evidence: the government's internet servers for websites including http://www.house.gov/ have been entirely overloaded all day with citizens logging in to express themselves to their elected officials. Mark my words: they'll report a record number of hits over the last 24 hours.
