CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A local group is questioning a nearly $700 billion federal government bailout of Wall Street, mainly because they said that Main Street U.S.A. is being left out.

The government's top economic experts warn that without immediate action by Congress, Americans could slip into a financial panic. The West Virginia Citizen Action Group, however, wants to make sure Main Street is not forgotten.

In a prime time speech Wednesday, President Bush tried to sell taxpayers on the Wall Street bailout. But on Main Street Charleston, not everyone's buying it.

The West Virginia Citizen Action Group said it's taking a stand for homeowners and wants Congress to do the same.

"We think we should be a bottom up repair job, not necessarily a top down repair job," said Gary Zuckett of the West Virginia Citizen Action Group.

But the president argues what happens here affects every American --from small business to student loans.

Now, the debate remains in Congress over whether or not the current proposal will fix Wall Street and West Virginia leaders are weighing in.

Sen. Robert C. Byrd said, "The price tag for the American taxpayer has skyrocketed to staggering levels. I, along with the American people, am deeply disturbed by this. As we move forward, we must ensure that regular Americans are not stampeded in a rush to enact the administration's proposal."

Sen. Jay Rockefeller released a statement late Thursday afternoon. He said if there is a failure to act in Congress, West Virginians will certainly feel the effects.

The West Virginia Citizens Action Group wants Congress to take its time and think about the best plan. Members say just look to the Iraq War vote as an example of what happens when Congress moves too quickly.
