This was in my email today:
Log into your Daily Kos account (or sign up to create one), and write a diary about why you changed your mind—or what Bernie or Hillary must do in order for you to switch in the future.
For me to vote for Hillary in the Democratic Primary, she would have to:
1. Give back donations from Too Big to Fail Banks, Fossil Fuel Corps., Pharmaceutical Corps., For-Profit Prison Corps., Mega- Media Corps. Sign the 350.org pledge to not take fossil fuel corp. $- as Sanders has.
2. Improve the strength of her financial reform plan by thinking about the 99%, not just the 1%.
a. End the extortion of our congress by too big to fail banks and mega corporations.
Break up too big to fail banks. Impose a scaled up FDIC ‘intervention’. Enact the 21st Century Glass Steagall Act.
Update 100 year old ‘anti trust’ laws.
Watch 20 min 2009 Bill Moyers interview on HOW to break up banks (Obama could have made Geithner do this, during the week of this interview, but sided with the banks. Obama had $ from wall st in his pocket)
HOW to break up too big to fail banks
b . Make RATINGS AGENCIES non-profit. They are PAID by wall st to give AAA ratings on GARBAGE…..or else they’ll go to agency down the street. See “The Big Short” movie!
2010:
Ratings agencies give AAA to garbage
2016:
Ratings Agencies still coming up short
C. Grant Post Offices the ability to offer basic banking services, to end the abuse of payday lenders. PO’s are in most low income communities say Sen. Warren and Sanders
10/15
Post Offices as basic banking option
1/1/16
LA takes on Payday Lenders' 2 billion dollar industry
D. Pledge to not appoint Wall St., Big Pharma, Fossil Fuel executives to top regulatory agencies, cabinet or whitehouse policy teams.
E. Democratise the Federal Reserve.
F. Cap credit card interest rates at 15%, ATM fees at $2
3. State she will end the ‘cold war’ machine. Audit the Dept. of Defence (the ONLY Fed. agency which has not been audited). We need a 21st century military, not the Cold War machine. End the 60 year history of overthrowing dictators around the world, leading to massive social, economic and political chaos, and a RISE in extremists like ISIS (Taking out Libya’s Gaddafi led to political vacuum and rise of ISIS). Seems she didn’t learn from the Iraq disaster while a NY state Senator. Someone who can’t learn from experience gives me pause.
Hillary has lots of experience, but she has to demonstrate to me that she has good judgment, and is looking out for my interests- that of the 99%
