Ellen Brown details the absurdity of the financial system and offers clear solutions. As your constituent, I urge you to reject the pre-meditated hijacking of the public trust.

Earlier this summer, I submitted a question online to Speaker Pelosi at the Netroots Nation conference here in Austin. She did not have the opportunity to answer whether it was a conflict of interest to have CEOS of private financial banks making decisions about bailing out private banks (including their own) with money it gets from us, the taxpayers. A panelist on the mortgage crisis did offer an answer. It was his opinion that there was nothing that could be done. That is not the full answer. We can start by defeating this bill. If necessary (and Ellen gives plenty of rationale why we might), we can consider Article 31 of the Federal Reserve Act: The right to amend, alter, or repeal this Act is hereby expressly reserved.
