I'm afraid the guy's perfectly serious... Frightening, isn't it, that these types are allowed to roam the streets unattended?

Just for shits and giggles, here's the final version of the email the F.I.R.Eaters are supposed to send to the SEC: By: SPEC_U_LATE $$$$ Reply To: None Tuesday, 15 Aug 2000 at 12:24 AM EDT Post # of 31966 Everyone, Below is a copy of a letter to send to the SEC. The two people we'll be targeting initially are Annette Nazareth - Director - Division of Market Regulations and Arthur Levitt - Chairman. Their email addresses are as follows: NazarethA@sec.gov and LevittA@sec.gov. Please be sure to replace my name with your own at the bottom of the letter and if you'd like, put the names of Ms. Nazareth and Mr. Levitt at the top. The purpose of this letter and email campaign is to serve notice to the people directly in charge of the SEC that we will hold them accountable for their actions and lack thereof, and that we are numerous and organized. PLEASE SEND THIS LETTER STARTING TUESDAY 8/15 THROUGH FRIDAY 8/18. It's important to continue this through the week! We want them to know we mean business. Of course, feel free to send it as many times/day as you would like. Next week we'll be sending them a list of the issues we want them to put forth for public comment. Thank you all for your support and cooperation. I've been getting calls from the media for interviews of which I'll begin to coincide with this campaign. This is round one. WE WILL EFFECT CHANGE! ********************************************************************************************** To The Leading Officials Of The SEC: As you have no doubt observed, the growing ground swell of infuriated individual investors and corporate officials is beginning to step forward in unprecedented numbers to voice their discontent with the regulation and lack thereof in the U.S. stock exchanges and markets. Among your responsibilities as leaders of the SEC are the overseeing of the rules and regulations and, when necessary, enforcement actions in the aforementioned markets. Not withstanding your recent attempts at market reform at the behest of individual investors and various companies, we feel it has been too little too late and you continue to be woefully negligent in the enactment of changes that are so desperately needed. The purpose of your recent proposals submitted for public comment is simply an attempt by the SEC to placate and distract individual investors from the true issues which continue to put them at a disadvantage; the pandering to the large brokerage houses, large market making firms, and institutions for the purpose of securing entrance to the "revolving door" utilized by many of your predecessors. Many issues related to the stock exchanges and markets that you are ostensibly responsible for overseeing have been unjust to individual investors and companies for too long a time. This unjust bias against the small investor must cease. Via evidence of the deficient actions by you, the leaders of the SEC, to rectify these various inequities of the system, you and your predecessors have shown an unwillingness to be protective of the public trust and are hereby given notice that we will no longer tolerate the turning of a deaf ear and a blind eye to our needs. We are banding together and our numbers are growing exponentially every day. We will ensure the demise of whomever is responsible for not enacting the necessary changes that we require. Those of you who continue to be ineffective and stand in the way of vital reform will be eradicated. These inequities have been tolerated for far too long. Their days and the days of those who perpetuate them are numbered. WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY LONGER! This is the first of what will be a multitude of protestations to you and your organization until the required reforms of the stock exchanges and markets are enacted. Our next correspondence will list the demands we want to be submitted for public comment. It is time for REAL change and we are united to see that it occurs. Mitch Levy F.I.R.E.
