2. Gee, I'm sure THIS will be the petition he listens to

Don't waste your time.

3. Come on, there must be more than 1200 people in the U.S. who realize...

...what a disaster Larry Summers would be at the FED.

Please sign the petition identified to make Janet Yellin the Fed Head: Nominate Janet Yellin as the next Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board and not Larry Summers -- NO MORE CRONIES !!!

There's a second petition you can sign as well:

Do not nominate Larry Summers to head the Federal Reserve.

Larry Summers has been a disaster for the economy. During his time in Washington, Larry pushed for the deregulation of the financial industry in the 1990's. This included both pushing to end the Glass-Stegall Act as well as fighting against attempts to regulate risky financial derivatives.

Furthermore, after the 2008 financial collapse, he spearheaded the Wall Street bailout while shooting down attempts to put tough conditions on the banking industry. As a result, the Wall Street banks are now 30% larger than they were in 2008 with very little new regulation in place to stop another collapse.

America needs someone who will focus more on helping Main Street and less on Wall Street. Larry Summers is NOT that person. Please do not nominate him to be the Chair of the Federal Reserve

Two for the price of one. Stop Larry Summers.

5. Don't waste your time?

I'd gladly sacrifice about 5 mouse clicks to axe Larry Summers. FWIW I also linked to FB.

By the way, what the plutocrats want the most from all us progressives is that we "not waste our time" on progressive issues.
