Hello, All: <br>
<br>
<br>
What do you think about having the Green party of Santa Clara
County join "Americans for Financial Reform"? <br>
<br>
<br>
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." (

<br>
<br>
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. <br>
