However, I'll repost again because this article has way to many comments. While my 'fans' will read it, others won't get the chance.

I will do a little research and see if I can find others.<br /><br />Meanwhile - Does anyone know about any organisations supporting our champion Elizabeth Warren? Any blogs getting the word out? <br /><br />John in Lafayette, I know you are a big fan of Ms. Warren. Do you know anything that would contribute to the support of the CPB in the upcoming battle?<br /><br />ValerieValerie Long Tweedienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-67912537091360679882011-04-29T17:26:23.618-04:002011-04-29T17:26:23.618-04:00Hi Valerie-

This is what we progressives need to be doing--finding the good people and stepping up for them. <br /><br />Is there an organization you particularly like who is behind her? I know that BOLD Progressives has spoken up, but have not heard about a petition or fund-drive yet.<br /><br />Please let all of us know. Thanks!<br /><br />Kate DepoeKate Madisonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-53435794756276069012011-04-29T17:10:24.204-04:002011-04-29T17:10:24.204-04:00While the country is distracted by the Royal Weddi...While the country is distracted by the Royal Wedding, the House Financial Services Committee is getting ready to vote on the Consumer Protection Bureau this coming week. Lobbyists and their complicit members of Congress want to delay the CPB becoming official and take away a lot of its power. I don't know how many of you feel about Jon Stewart, but here is a good (and short) interview with Elizabeth Warren http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-april-26-2011/exclusive---elizabeth-warren-extended-interview-pt--2. (See part one as well.)<br /><br />Like many progressives, I am a huge fan of Elizabeth Warren. We really need to support her and the good work the CPB is trying to do. As she says in the interview, the evil ones (that is my wording not hers) are taking this battle into the back alleys because they can't win it out in the open. Unless blogs like this keep our attention and eye on the proverbial ball, I am afraid that we will lose one of the few uncorrupted, uncaptured agencies we have.<br /><br />We really need to fight for this one and not allow it to drop out of sight. If Elizabeth Warren and the CPB are successful, I think (I hope) it will empower the public to demand other agencies that will fight on behalf of Main Street; which might be why the evil ones are fighting so hard to bring it down.Valerie Long Tweedienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-25117729072553901212011-04-28T21:24:41.886-04:002011-04-28T21:24:41.886-04:00Leave it to Ross "Grand Inquisitor" Dout...Leave it to Ross "Grand Inquisitor" Douthat to tell us we need just a little more miracle, mystery, and authority in our lives.
