REMEMBER-----THE POLS BELOW ARE THE ONES WHO VOTED GLASS STEAGALL BANKING WALL DOWN AND FOR NAFTA KNOWING IT WOULD CREATE GLOBAL CORPORATE RULE, KILL LABOR AND JUSTICE, AND END DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA. YOU CAN SEE HOYER, SARBANES (SR), CUMMINGS, CARDIN------ALL OF BALTIMORE'S POLS STILL IN OFFICE AND STILL SUPPORTED BY MARYLAND'S LABOR AND JUSTICE LEADERS. ALL OF THESE POLS ARE NOW IN LEADERSHIP POSITIONS IN CONGRESS AND WILL PUSH TRANS PACIFIC TRADE PACT ------TPP JUST AS HARD. SO, IF YOU KEEP RE-ELECTING THEM THEY WILL HAVE TAKEN THE US FROM A FIRST WORLD SOCIETY TO NOW A SECOND WORLD SOCIETY AND AFTER TPP-----A THIRD WORLD SOCIETY IN JUST OVER TWO DECADES.
The following is a list of senators and representatives who voted to repeal the Glass-Steagall Act. The names in bold are currently in office as of 2011 and need to be either impeached or voted out of office. At the very least, they should be required to undo the damage they have done. Please contact these people and let them know how you feel about what they have done. These people can be contacted by clicking on their names. NOTE THE NUMBER IN LEADERSHIP POSITIONS.....AND THE MARYLAND DELEGATION. I AM TOLD MIKULSKI WAS NEWLY ELECTED AND VOTED RIGHT ON THIS OCCASION.

This disgraceful bow to the banking industry, eagerly signed into law by Bill Clinton in 1999, bears a major share of responsibility for the current banking crisis
President Bill Clinton’s signing statement for the GLBA summarized the established argument for repealing Glass-Steagall Section’s 20 and 32 in stating that this change, and the GLBA’s amendments to the Bank Holding Company Act, would “enhance the stability of our financial services system” by permitting financial firms to “diversify their product offerings and thus their sources of revenue” and make financial firms “better equipped to compete in global financial markets.”[352]
