The Tide Is Turning: Call Your Senator NOW!
The tide is now turning towards real financial reform:
- In a
major development, Senator Harry Reid is now supporting
breaking up the giant banks and auditing the Fed
- Number two Senate majority leader, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), came out Tuesday in favor of a far-reaching
amendment that would break up big banks and cap their size (the
Brown-Kaufman amendment)
- Senator
Feingold has announced
that he will filibuster and financial regulation which does not
include serious banking reform
I asked a friend on the hill
- a top aide to a very important Congress member - whether people would
be wasting their time by calling their Senator. I explained that many
people called and demanded that the U.S. not invade Iraq, but that
Congress just ignored us. I said that many people feel that traditional
political activism, like phonecalls, can't work, as the level of
political corruption is too high.
He responded that given the bipartisan support of many congress
people and the American people for financial reform, this is very
different from Iraq.
He urged everyone to call their Senators and demand the giant
banks be broken up and the Fed be audited.
Senator Sanders' bill
to audit the Fed will probably be voted on today. Please call
your Senator now.
