Dear EmailNation Subscriber,

Check TheNation.com for the most incisive coverage of the economic meltdown and what the presidential candidates are proposing to do about it.

Bailout Turmoil
William Greider | Bowing to public outrage, the House rejects the bailout and Wall Street swoons. It's another deep shock to the system--but an invigorating moment for democracy.

We Need a New Deal
Katrina vanden Heuvel & Eric Schlosser | We should apply FDR's principles of relief, reform and reconstruction to our current financial crisis.

Students Fight for Right to Vote
Cora Currier | Last week Congress held a hearing on safeguarding students' right to vote, and troubling allegations surfaced about swing state voter intimidation.
