Help appoint Elizabeth Warren

Join the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, academics, and top progressive groups and ask President Obama to appoint Elizabeth Warren.

Senate Republicans are threatening to block any appointee to head the new Consumer Financial Protect Bureau unless it is watered down to serve Wall Street interests.

Representative Barney Frank called the Republican move "the worst abuse of the confirmation process I've ever seen" and added, "What it clearly says is that the president will have to make a recess appointment."

I agree.

The Progressive Change Campaign Committee has written a letter to President Obama supporting Warren's recess appointment, and it's been signed by top academics and other progressive organizations.

It's a great letter -- with a message I wholeheartedly support. Can you join them and sign the letter yourself?

4. Good place for your heart, but
Obama hasn't listened to progressives since December 2008, not on war, not on healthcare, and certainly not with Elizabeth Warren. Haven't you noticed the contempt he has for us?

You'd have more success if you were a teaparty group to get his attention to your wishes.

7. Bumping!
They've had an amazing response! Over 150,000 people have signed the petition urging a recess appointment for Elizabeth Warren!

They want to go for 200,000 signatures!

Have at it!:

8. Have you read the report that Sen republicons are urging Boehner not to recess
for the rest of Pres Obama's term so he'd be unable to have any recess appointments?

Those fuckers will stop at nothing.
