活动描述
**** FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT THIS EVENT, PLEASE SEE
http://oxdown.firedoglake.com/diary/515 ****
No Blank Check For Wall Street is a multi-partisan group of people demanding accountability for Wall Street for its role in the 2008 financial crisis. We started by trying to put pressure on Congress with our Tell Nancy Pelosi how you feel thread and our first open letter. Now that the Paulson bailout has passed it's time to expand our focus.
Our next step is partnering with MixedInk on open letter to the presidential candidates, asking them to discuss this issue in next week's debate in domestic policy. Both of them supported the bailout; why? And just as importantly, how would they prevent similar situations from occurring in the future?
We'll finish the open letter by Sunday, and then start circulating it for signatures. On Monday October 13, we'll send the letter to a number of newspapers and blogs - and to each of the candidates. If enough of you get involved, we can get a lot of attention in the blogosphere and media and have a real impact on the debate!

Please join this event and forward it to your friends; we'll send out an update once the letter is ready describing how you can help.
**** REMEMBER TO CHECK YOUR FACEBOOK UPDATES SUNDAY EVENING ****
