Let Us Hold President Donald Trump to his word:
Endorse the Glass Steagall Act in Your State of the Union address!
Endorse the Glass Steagall Act in Your State of the Union address!
Here in Northwest Ohio we are taking a
positive approach to the New Year. Our Revolution of Northwest Ohio is
calling upon President Donald Trump to make good on your campaign
promise: Endorse the Glass-Steagall Act in your State
of the Union Address!
This simple action has several powerful
effects: it initiates a positive action; brings varying groups together
to build a coalition with a common purpose; will be synchronized with
Congressional legislation and inform lobbying
on Capitol Hill; be the basis for press conferences and public actions.
Letters will be personally hand-carried to members of Congress and
official representatives of President Trump.

Open letter to President
Donald Trump:
Make good on your campaign
statement to support the Glass-Steagall Act!

We the undersigned strongly feel the need for protecting our
economy from another unnecessary market crash and recession like the one
experienced in December of 2007. As you
take office, the conditions for a collapse are too similar to those of 2007:
rising asset values together with a lack of separation between FDIC insured
banking and risk-investment brokering.
We applaud your campaign statement in Charlotte, North
Carolina, October 26, 2016, endorsing a call for "A 21st Century version
of Glass-Steagall," and reintroducing a modern day Glass-Steagall
Act. We trust that you understand that
stabilizing the business climate and securing the assets as separate from Wall
Street speculation is a key to prosperity during your administration.
To set the tone of discourse in Congress 2017, we ask
that you restate your support for a Glass-Steagall Act during your State of the
Union address.
Be assured in doing so, you will find common ground with
both the Republicans and the Democrats since both party platforms have the
support of banking legislation that separates insured accounts from Wall Street
speculation in their respective platforms.
Thank you for responding to the call from citizens,
businesspersons, bankers and legislators as we move forward.

Congratulations on Glass Steagall Petition. This coheres with the AMERICAN SYSTEM as conceived by Henry Clay in 1833 and implemented by Abraham Lincoln in 1861.
ReplyDeleteGlass Steagall principle is proven (by its 40+ year success) as just the absolutely necessary first step to mobilizing investment capital to productivity and tangible wealth creation, instead of draining that capital into the speculative swamp -- Hamilton and FDR clearly got the most important stuff right.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! The Glass-Steagall Act has done good and not harm for ALL Americans, and it's particularly good for working Americans. It's time it was brought back and strengthened so it can't be taken away from us ever again by the 1%.
