Tell President Obama to appoint  Warren to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

BREAKING NEWS: Huffington Post reports that on the very day the Senate passed Wall Street reform and created a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Treasury Sec. Tim Geithner is urging President Obama NOT to appoint the most credible person as its leader: Elizabeth Warren.

Sign our emergency petition to the President today — telling him to appoint Elizabeth Warren.

Then, please pass this urgent email to your friends. Over 3,000 people have signed already, and if we can reach 10,000 signers today the media will take notice and we can publicly shame Geithner.

Elizabeth Warren is feared by Wall Street.

As chair of the bailout oversight panel, she held Wall Street executives’ feet to the fire and was not afraid to speak out.

As a Harvard professor, her credentials are impeccable. And she was the one who came up with the idea for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — perhaps the best piece of this bill — in the first place.

In short, Warren is perfect for the position and most financial insiders have just assumed she would get it. That’s why it’s so outrageous that Geithner — a longtime Wall Street insider — would attempt to sabotage her appointment.

This is a moment that requires good people to fight back.

Thanks for being a bold progressive,
