[GPSCC-chat] Join "Americans for Financial Reform"?

[Spencer Graves]

Hello, All:


       What do you think about having the Green party of Santa Clara 
County join "Americans for Financial Reform"?


       I just learned about this organization earlier today from a news 
report on 7 bills to further deregulate the finance industry that were 
passed out of the US House Agriculture Committee last Wednesday, March 
21.  The report said, "Americans for Financial Reform, a coalition 
including the AFL-CIO labor federation as well as other unions and 
consumer groups, has opposed changes to the so-called push-out rule."  ( 
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-03-19/wall-street-may-win-swap-rule-reprieve-in-u-s-house-legislation.html)


       Americans for Financial Reform's web site lists 104 national 
organizations including Common Cause and Public Citizen, plus 109 state 
organizations, and 8 businesses.  There are currently no Green party 
organizations on the list.  I suggest we consider being the first.  I 
will add it at the end of the agenda for tomorrow night's meeting.
