A Democratic Congressman has warned that a panic atmosphere is being

intentionally created in order to get the financial bailout billed

passed, further stating that several members of Congress were told

before Monday's vote that martial law will be instigated in America if

the legislation fails..

Congressman Brad Sherman of California's 27th congressional district

told the House in a speech yesterday evening that he personally knew

of several Congressional representatives who have said they were

threatened with the prospect of all out martial law should they vote

in opposition to the $700 billion bailout..

Sherman essentially intimated that powerful forces who want the bill

passed have attempted to blackmail elected representatives..

"The only way they can pass this bill is by creating and sustaining a

panic atmosphere. That atmosphere is not justified." Sherman stated..

"Many of us were told in private conversations that if we voted

against this bill on Monday that the sky would fall, the market would

drop two or three thousand points the first day, another couple of

thousand the second day, and a few members were even told that there

would be martial law in America if we voted no." The Congressman

continued..

"That's what I call fear mongering. Unjustified. Proven wrong. We've

got a week, we've got two weeks to write a good bill. The only way to

pass a bad bill is to keep the panic pressure on." Sherman urged..

Sherman has been a member of the House of Representatives since 1997

and also serves on the Committee on Financial Services along with

Texas Congressman Ron Paul..

On the Eve of a second Congressional vote on the legislation, these

revelations show that freedom in America is under direct attack. The

Congress should instigate an immediate investigation into these

serious allegations to uncover which private individuals and

administration officials, if any, are involved with directly

threatening a military takeover of the workings of the U.S.

government..

Sherman's comments follow those of Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX), who

warned Monday that the only information he had received about the

bailout was what talking points to use on the American people and that

he had been thrown out of meetings for not blindly supporting the

bill..

Ominously, Burgess also commented, "Mr. Speaker I understand we are

under Martial Law as declared by the speaker last night."..

Rep. Burgess appeared on the Alex Jones show earlier this week to

discuss his comments. Subscribers, listen here..

However, it must be stressed that the definition of martial law that

Congressman Sherman is referring to is the full blown military

suspension of the normal administration of justice, while rep. Burgess

was referring to the temporary suspension of the rules and procedures

of Congress by its leaders so that a bill can be passed quickly..

Sherman's allegations of threats against elected representatives have

also been echoed by outspoken political activist Lyndon LaRouche who

told an audience "There are those in high positions who know that if

they don't allow this bill to pass, that there are people behind the

Bush Administration who will force them to pass it or kill them…".

LaRouche stated that well placed sources had told him that the use of

armed troops to enforce the passage of the bill is "reality"..
