GOP Congressman Chris Cox - SEC Chairman - Must Go
Chris Cox is the BushCo. shill heading up the SEC: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1269476/000126947606000015/0001269476-06-000015-index.htm

He must go, especially in light of the John Mack/Pequot matter, in which an SEC lawyer was pressured - then fired - for investigating BushCo. corporatist cronies: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=john+mack+sec+gary+aguirre+pequot

Other SEC filings I've in the series so far: http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=smith+david+allen&CIK=&filenum=&State=&SIC=&owner=include&action=getcompany

Congressman Cox was a key sponsor of the so-called "Private Securities Litigation Reform Act" - passed over Clinton's veto - which has been used by the likes of Bernie Ebbers, Kenny Boy Lay, and State Street to refuse to turn over documentary evidence. The "automatic stay" on discovery gives corporations an unfair advantage in the courts.

Time to repeal that provision, and time to eject Chris Cox, and install a real watchdog at the SEC, not a lapdog for BushCo.

4. He's Just a Prettier Version...
... of Harvey Pitt, W's first choice as Chairman.

Donaldson did just enough to cause the media to doze off again.
