Put Warren to Work! |

| Sign the Petition! |
The best part of the Wall Street reform bill that just passed Congress is the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. But whether the new bureau delivers on its promise to protect consumers depends in large part on who runs it. The agency was the brain-child of Harvard Professor Elizabeth Warren who has championed consumers and taxpayers for decades. Tell President Obama to put Warren to work and appoint her as the head of the new agency by signing our petition today!Save Our Cities and Stop Big Bank Greed |

| Take Action! |
The big banks promised cities and towns that they had the deal of the century that would help their citizens save money. Turns out these "swaps" deals were peddled in the same predatory way subprime mortgages were. Now, whole cities have been devoured by these swaps, going bankrupt overnight and unable to perform the very services people need in these hard times. SEIU is helping cities divest from the big banks -- and you
can join them by demanding action in your town.
A New Way Forward |

| No New Powers for the Fed! |
A New Way Forward, a rocking netroots group, wants to prevent the Federal Reserve from being chosen as the nation's "systemic risk regulator." The proposal would give the biggest banks special privileges and goverment guarantees that would put small banks at a disadvantage. The Fed missed the housing bubble, it missed the Internet bubble, why should it be given another chance to crash the U.S. economy?Americans for Financial Reform |
