If you missed the 60 min piece aired 11/13, i suggest watching and fighting for HR1148 to be brought again to the floor so all House Members will have to go on the record.
just goes to show whose interests they have in mind: 1) Wall Street, 2)Self, and a distant 3) 99%. When you make the law you're above it, it's worth noting the co-sponsors are 8 Dems and 1 Rep.
If this is about the Stock Act, I think these politicians should not even be given the benefit of this pass, but should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Damn, insider trading is against the law and if martha stewart can do time why can't these assholes do time.
It was priceless to see the deer in headlights look on Boehner's and Pelosi's face.
Amen brother, saw that piece just a few minutes ago. This legislation must be passed to help end the corruption of the system.
People need to contact their congresspeople and DEMAND it be passed and that they cosponsor it. Call them write them, email them. Then get your friends, family, and coworkers to do the same.
If your congressman won't cosponsor it, they MUST be defeated in the primaries this spring.
