The President's Weekly Address: Wall Street Reform & Main Street

From the White House blog:

The President explains how Wall Street Reform will not only end bailouts and bring accountability for big banks, but empower consumers, shareholders and community banks.

Once again the GOPers in the Senate are playing games. After months of debate and meetings to draw up a plan for Wall Street Reform, they are now claiming they were shut out of the process. Sound familiar?

Yes, they are doing the same thing they did about Health Care.

We must have Reform on Wall Street.. if not the same things could happen again and again. Even if this bill isn't perfect as the President said, it is better than what we have now. They will always find loopholes, they spend millions of dollars just to keep lawyers busy finding them.

The majority of people polled by NBC/Wall St Journal were more concerned about this than they were the terrorist on Times Square. Does that not tell you we really need this done?

Push your Senators to get this done... Even the GOPers need to hear from you.. I know it seems like a wasted effort to call them.. but they have to hear from us about how we want this done.. If enough people call them and let them know their jobs are on the line.. Maybe.. just MAYBE, they will stop obstructing and get this done.

Tha President's Weekly Address: Holding Wall Street Accountable

From the White House blog:

The strongest consumer protections ever. Bringing transparency to financial dealings. Closing loopholes to stop recklessness and irresponsibility. Holding Wall Street accountable and giving shareholders new power in the financial system. President Obama lays out what Wall Street Reform is about, and questions whether opposition from the Senate Republican Leader might have something to do with his recent meeting with Wall Street executives.

This has got to be a win-win for the Democrats. If the Republican's continue to oppose this, surely the people will realize who is working for them... But then maybe I am giving the people too much credit.

If the Democrats can hold together on this, and all vote to approve it and make it stronger and better for the people instead of the Wall Street crowd and their cronies in the Republican party. It isn't going to be easy, and it is already drawing opposition from the Republican's.

We need this reform, in order to protect the people from the theft of our money by Wall Street. With Goldman now being prosecuted and maybe others to follow, we have to stay after them to make them realize we will not stand for their criminal ways.
