Wall Street Reform: Let’s Get It Passed
Posted by Michelle Moquin on July 14th, 2010
Good morning!
First of all, thank you for all of your congratulations, kind compliments, and kudos. People love being recognized, appreciated, honored for their dedication and work…and I am no different. Thank you.
So even though there are days when I don’t hear from you and I feel like no one is reading, I know that you are. And when I do hear from you, I have mixed emotions: Excitement that people “got in”, and panicked thoughts of “Oh no…look at all of the comments, and I’m in such a rush this morning. Ugh…I hope not too many readers addressed me personally.” :)
But I have to say, I truly love seeing and reading your comments. You inspire me and drive me to get up in the morning and write, when there are days when I just don’t feel like it. And when I feel like I just want to stay slipped in between the sheets and slumber, I remember that I have readers who not only count on my daily write, but who I count on daily for inspiration. So keep it coming.
And to those of you who attempt and continue to attempt to knock me down, you’ll have to try a lot harder to put this girl to rest. So I thank you too, for your unkind words, your bold bashing, and everything in between, as you have made me a stronger, more resilient, tough girl, who can take it better than I ever imagined I would and could. You too are an inspiration, and a driving force that keeps me going. So keep it coming.
As far as me keeping it going today, I’m going to keep it short. Here’s the latest from our president, and he’s asking for our help again. Let’s get Wall Street reform passed, okay?
Michelle –
Colorado’s senators are gearing up to cast their last votes on Wall Street reform tomorrow. Right now, we believe we might have just enough votes to pass this historic legislation.
But we won’t know until the final vote is cast — and we’re only certain of one thing: it could come down to one single senator.
That’s how close this is — and that’s how urgently we need your help.
Your senators, Mark Udall and Michael Bennet, have been fighting alongside President Obama to pass this bill — and they need to know you appreciate their leadership.
Call your senators now and let them know you support Wall Street reform — and then make sure to let us know what they said.
Call Sen. Udall at (202) 224-5941
Call Sen. Bennet at (202) 224-5852
We’re on the verge of passing the boldest overhaul of the financial system since the Great Depression.
Wall Street reform will bring more economic security to consumers by forcing credit card companies, mortgage companies, and predatory lenders to stop exploiting consumers with hidden fees and pages of fine print.
It will create a new Consumer Financial Protection Agency — with a responsibility to protect all of us. And it will ensure that taxpayers will never again be asked to bail out the big banks that are “too big to fail.”
Reform is facing one last showdown in the Senate. Lobbyists for the big banks are doing everything they can to stop this legislation before it lands on President Obama’s desk.
Readers: As always, you’ve done a great job in the past. Please do what you can now. Thanks. Note: If you don’t live in Colorado, make sure that you change your location and call your Senators.
Peace & Love: “Live it, Give it!”…
…always.
Lastly, greed over a great story is surfacing from my ‘loyal’(?) readers. With all this back and forth about who owns what, that appears on my blog, let me reiterate that all material posted on my blog becomes the sole property of my blog. If you want to reserve any proprietary rights don’t post it to my blog. I will prominently display this caveat on my blog from now on to remind those who may have forgotten this notice.
Gratefully your blog host,
