I don't get it? I got this from Senator Al Franken's office. How is it Al Franken is on the other side of Obama's justice department?? charles, We recently achieved a big victory for Wall Street accountability. Over 100,000 of us took action with friends across the progressive community, and we killed a proposed 50-state deal that would give criminal and civil immunity to Wall Street banks. But now, top Justice Department officials are trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. They have been pushing hard to bring the Wall Street immunity deal back from the dead. Fortunately, Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisconsin) leaped into action with a congressional resolution opposing Wall Street immunity. Within days, 27 of her colleagues signed on -- and the more co-sponsors we get, the more pressure the Justice Department will feel to back off. Can you sign on as a citizen signer of Baldwin's resolution against Wall Street immunity? Click here to sign. We'll deliver these signatures to local congressional offices -- and make calls to Representatives like Don Young urging them to sign on to Baldwin's resolution. As more members of Congress join Rep. Baldwin in speaking out, the Justice Department will increasingly realize that a backroom deal with Wall Street is impossible -- and undesirable. This fight is happening in public view, and the public demands real accountability. Click here to be a citizen signer of Tammy Baldwin's resolution. Thanks for being a bold progressive. -- Adam Green, Stephanie Taylor, Kristiane Skolmen, Conor Kennedy, Jordan Krueger, and the rest of the PCCC team.
