How can we opt out of the bailouts?

Thanks to Congress this summer, taxpayers are the co-signers of about half of the nation's mortgages at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

Does anyone know where to sign up for the national "Do not bailout' registry?

I would like to opt out and keep my freedom to invest my money how I wish, not how government wants to invest it.

Some say $25- or $100-billion worth of loans won't be paid back. That's not something I would invest in if it were up to me and I lived in a free country.

Obama and McCain both support this bailout, so both must think it's OK to take your money by force and invest it in risky loans. Bob Barr, the Libertarian candidate, does not.
