With our economy in crisis, the US Government is scrambling to rescue
our banks by purchasing their "distressed assets", i.e., assets that
no one else wants to buy from them. We figured that instead of
protesting this plan, we'd give regular Americans the same opportunity
to sell their bad assets to the government. We need your help and you
need the Government's help!

Use the form below to submit bad assets you'd like the government to
take off your hands. And remember, when estimating the value of your
1997 limited edition Hanson single CD "MMMbop", it's not what you can
sell these items for that matters, it's what you think they are worth.
The fact that you think they are worth more than anyone will buy them
for is what makes them bad assets.

Now is your chance to get rid of all that stuff in the garage that
might come in useful someday!
