The bailout plan that was voted down in the House today was a miserable bill, but I think we're in deep trouble unless the government steps in to stabilize the markets. (Look at what Sweden and Japan did under similar circumstances to get themselves out of trouble).
If you live in the US, here's a tool to help you find out who your representative is. Find them and tell them how you feel about the plan. Most Congresspeople will also post on their websites how they voted. This could be important.
