BREAKING: BIG VICTORY FOR CA And Proof That WE do have power when we work together!

BREAKING VICTORY: California Attorney General Kamala Harris just announced that she's opposing a proposed 50-state deal with Wall Street banks. This deal would give the banks immunity for crimes that haven't been investigated yet.
With California on board, we're up to 6 states fighting back! But we need more.
75,000 others have urged Attorney Generals across the country to stand up to Wall Street -- and Kamala Harris listened. Can you click here to thank Kamala Harris on Facebook -- and urge other Attorney Generals to follow her lead?
Or click to tweet this message:
Thank you @KamalaHarris for opposing bank immunity! Join 75,000 @BoldProgressive & pressure more states: pccc.me/qxTvbk
Today's huge news proves that activism works.
Yesterday, along with our friends at Credo Action, we delivered 38,000 California signatures directly to Kamala Harris's office -- generating national and local news. All day today, local PCCC members like you called her office.
And for the last few weeks, other progressives added their voices. Kentucky's Jack Conway announced right here -- in an email to PCCC members -- that he was joining a growing band of state Attorney Generals who were fighting back.
Now, we'll keep delivering petitions in state after state -- until immunity for Wall Street banks is dead.
Can you recruit your friends and help us reach 100,000 asking Attorney Generals to say no to immunity? Click here to share the petition on Facebook.

We're beating the big banks! Congratulations on this great victory. Feel proud. And thanks for being a bold progressive.

Breaking News: We won! California is standing up to the big banks!

 







If you're disgusted with the big banks, this is the best email you will read in a long time.

Breaking news! Kamala Harris, California's Attorney General, has rejected the bogus 50 state settlement pushed by the big banks. Without California, the entire effort to lure the 50 Attorneys General into signing a "get out of jail FREE" card is crumbling.

For the first time, we've got the banks on the run. They're terrified. We can finally extract justice on them for bankrupting our country! Please donate whatever you can: $5, $10, $20 now to help us finish the job.

How did this happen? We showed Kamala Harris that we would support her if she did the right thing. Nearly 10,000 Courage Campaign members signed our petition, and the momentum is on our side. 

California has 10% of the nation's population and was devastated by the foreclosure crisis. These fat cat bankers are not going to get off scot-free if we don't let them. If you give to the Courage Campaign today, we will keep fighting for:

1. A reduction on principal balances on all underwater mortgages to help stabilize our state economy and create more than 300,000 jobs in California
2. Limited immunity so banks are not off the hook from wrongdoing or future investigations
3. A monetary penalty that is commensurate with the harm caused by the banks: far past the bank-proposed $20 billion to be shared nationwide

If you cannot give, please share this email with someone who can. We cannot keep up the pressure without your support.

Thanks for your passion and energy. Together we will bring justice back to America.

Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the committee that oversees the Postal Service, was once one of those lawmakers. But now, after pushing his Postal Reform Act through a House subcommittee, postal unions consider Issa their greatest foe.Original DVD cover

Dislike of Tea Party Is Key to 2012 Vote

September 28, 12:36 PM ET

| By Matt Taibbi

The status of public sentiment toward the Tea Party might very well end up dominating the next presidential race. Next year's election  is almost certainly going to be one of the all-time bummer-fests, where voters are probably going to go to the polls depressed about the state of the world and are more than ever going to be driven to decisions about whom to vote for based on their calculation of Who Sucks Less.

Yep, likely to make more noise before dying off.
