It has to get 150 signatures before it is searchable on the White House website, and the have promised to respond to anything with more than 5,000 signatures. I posted one on Social Security that's within 500 sigs of making it, and a bunch of pot legalization ones have already made it, so it is doable.
We need to say this to the White House and Congress as many different ways and times as possible until they do it.
PETITION TEXT:
Investigate, prosecute, and imprison those at Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street firms and banks whose fraud led to our economic collapse.
Evidence already in the congressional record shows Goldman Sachs knowingly lied to most of their clients about the value of mortgage based investments while letting a few of the very wealthiest in on their scam.
Fines and grants of criminal immunity you are currently pushing for Wall St. are not enough to stop them from harming us again, and send a message that America has two kinds of justice: one for the rich and one for the rest.
Killing bin Laden and other terrorists shows you are willing to protect us from external threats; we need you to protect us from the internal threat of these economic terrorists by prosecuting them for their crimes.
+1 this.
Stiglitz and Krugman know the way
And Reich.
Got a link? I'd like to read it.
Don't forget the fact that they masked Greece's debt
the list of charges would be lengthy.
The whole banking system needs to be rebooted so that it is the slave not the master of democracy.
