We Want Elizabeth Warren

sorry these links are not live.. go to info page on FB...

This is a grassroots campaign to support the nomination and confirmation of a true champion of the middle class, Elizabeth Warren, to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Description
Harvard Law School Professor Elizabeth Warren developed the idea of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to help protect consumers from the abusive practices of the financial sector. In order for her to lead it, she must be nominated by President Obama and confirmed by the Senate by July! The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, American Bankers Association and other K-Street lobbyists are working to destroy her chances because they fear her. We're sick of being abused by the banks! We're sick of being marginalized in the political process! We are creating the U.S. Chamber of Citizens to campaign for her appointment.

The persistent myths of the "self-correcting free market," the "invisible hand," and "trickle-down economics" are hurting America. With the Great Depression and now the Great Recession as irrefutable, empirical evidence, the American people are beginning to recognize the fact that the game on Wall Street is easily rigged, and, we must find ways to regulate it so that consumers are protected from abusive practices.

We the People will fight for a strong Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. There are many powerful and wealthy enemies of consumer protection, and often they express their power by inserting themselves into our political process through direct lobbying, shady campaign financing, and political advertising conglomerations like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

We must demand a White House nomination and Senate confirmation of Elizabeth Warren as the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The make-or-break period will be from now until July, and this will be a primary focus for Coffee Party USA, and all Americans who willing to stand up to the ruling elite, stand up for economic fairness, and reverse our path to "feudalism with cable TV."

FAQs about the new EFM law | Facebook Page Info
Can it there be a referendum | Facebook Note
Compiled by Betsy Coffia, Traverse City, MI from direct source PA 4 and other (cited) sources

*self disclosure: I do not belong to a union, nor do I work for a school or other state funded entity. I have lived in northern Michigan since I was 5 and voted regularly since I was 18. I do not typically think of myself as an activist, but this is a PEOPLE issue. It sets an incredibly frightening precedent and impacts us all.

Concerns with the expanded,
more powerful EFM law Gov. Rick Snyder signed March 16, 2011

• Even as Michigan is struggling financially, this law puts NO salary cap on the EFM – multiple attempts to cap it to be no more than what a Michigan Governor makes were voted down!
  
• An amendment to prevent the EFM from receiving outside compensation while on the job was VOTED DOWN.
  
• NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED • An EFM controlling a school district is NOT required to have any experience or background in education, yet is allowed to make educational plans and curriculum choices.
  
• SO LONG, COMMUNITY IDENTITY • The EFM can abolish cities and towns and can force school districts to merge and consolidate with others, or close public schools and turn them into charter schools, with NO input from the affected communities.
• BROKEN AGREEMENTS • The EFM can break existing contracts and remove collective bargaining rights to public employees (teachers, firefighters, bus drivers, police, corrections officers, etc.)
• FOR PROFIT… JAILS • The EFM can privatize functions such as jails, busing, food service, etc.
• PARKS, WATERFRONT FOR SALE • The EFM decides if public “assets” (land, buildings, etc.) will be sold. If the state treasurer signs off, the EFM can sell without competitive bid.
• YES there are more | (read them here)

Details: We "pounce" (protest) at the Central Post Office, as lines of citizen tax payers drive up to pay their fair share, we pass out flyers and have signs about how FedEx hasn't paid their fair share of taxes.
