Our petition with Credo Action was reported by numerous political publications. Excerpts:

“The Progressive Change Campaign Committee seized on a report that Mr. Geithner opposes Ms. Warren, whom it calls ‘the most credible person’ for the job.” — New York Times

“Progressives are urging President Obama to nominate Troubled Asset Relief Program watchdog Elizabeth Warren to head the new consumer agency created by financial reform legislation.” — The Hill newspaper

“Warren is the intellectual godmother of the new protection agency, and has a great deal of support from grassroots progressives. They’re trying to counter Geithner by petitioning the President to give her the job.” — Talking Points Memo
