Investigate Wall Street Bank Fraud

The greed and fraud of Wall Street banks caused the loss of millions of homes and billions of dollars in the housing crash.

Now we need President Obama to take a strong stance for homeowners, and for accountability, by opening a federal investigation into big bank fraud.

This is something the president can do on his own right now, without fighting Congress. And millions of Americans can be helped if banks are held responsible and forced to compensate homeowners for their wrongdoing.

A compiled petition with your individual comment will be presented to President Obama.

Tell Congress to support The United States Call Center Worker and Consumer Protection Bill

With American families struggling, it's time for companies to bring good jobs home. Foreign call centers not only ship jobs abroad, but they endanger our confidential personal information because they operate without US data regulation. You can tell lawmakers to support the US Call Center Bill. The Bill would build jobs in America by:

Creating a customers' right to know - Ending the secrecy about call center locations, so outsourcers and offshorers can't hide anymore. Forcing companies that outsource abroad to return federal funding - Because our hard earned tax-dollars shouldn't go to support corporations that ship American jobs to foreign countries. Giving you the right to be transferred to a US-based operator.

But we need your support. Members of Congress will only sign on if they hear our voices loud and clear. Use our simple tool to send a message to your US Representative. In order to address your message to the appropriate recipient, we need to identify where you are.

As I follow the election year politics- it is clear to me that even within the GOP, the Occupy message concerning income disparity is getting through. Social movements do make a difference! Takes more time than most of us care for, but seeds get planted and do begin to grow.

I do agree. Social movements can make a difference. It's just that until it is fiscally feasible as well as prudent and not just professional suicide for any politician to go against the super rich, I don't see us getting anything but lip service. It's not like they just noticed the income disparity. It's not an accident.
