CAPE CORAL, Fla. - She's a woman with a mini-van and a mission.

A Cape Coral driver wants you to call your congressman!

Connie Barata is taking her protest into traffic.

"I get thumbs up. I get honking horns, and I get attaboys, you know," said Barata.

What she doesn't get, is why taxpayers should foot the bill to bail out Wall Street.

"We're going to sign on for something that's not going to work. Not my money. Not willingly," said Barata.

Last week, Barata put her message on her mini-van and a few phone numbers too.

"I really want to urge people to call these numbers," she said.

WINK News called Congressman Connie Mack's office, whose number was on the sign. We asked about the response to the bail out bill. They tell WINK News, more than 2000 phone calls and emails flooded the office from Cape Coral to Washington since last Friday. Rep. Mack decided to vote no.

"I was jumping for joy. I felt like democracy prevailed. I know that the Capital Hill switchboards were just flooded with phone calls," said Barata.

Barata says if some type of bail out doesn't make it on the books, she's not worried about her retirement or our country's future. "You know we have to have faith in the people, faith in our capitalistic system," she said.
