There have been recent diaries on this topic, but I wanted to add one more to the mix. I signed the Alan Grayson "Unmask the Fed" petition that was linked in recent diaries, but I also think it's important to light up the switchboards and the email InBox at the White House. We can't let Rahm Emanuel, who we can presume is operating at the behest of the President, quietly kill the Bernie Sanders Amendment in the Senate. If they want to kill it, let's make them do it in the open, even if that means using the veto pen. At least then the White House would be forced to explain to the American people why it wants to keep $2T in loans hidden, why it wants to keep the Fed shrouded in undemocratic secrecy.

More after the fold.

I've sent some strongly worded emails in the past fews months, Mr. President, not to mention some going all the way back to when you first announced your financial team. I've also posted some strongly worded comments on the Daily Kos web site and other forums. You could say that I've been frustrated and disappointed by some things, and I know a lot of other people who think like me have too. I'm sure you've heard from them. In this letter, though, I won't get into all of the many criticisms and suggestions and disappointments I have expressed in these letters and comments. Today is not the day for that...

This is my first diary, so please forgive any procedural errors on my part.

I am still undecided about getting behind a Democratic candidate in the primary season. There's no question I'll get behind the nominee in the GE, but I'm despairing whether I'll be able to get enthusiastic about anyone in the primaries. I'm put off by Clinton and Obama, disappointed in Richardson, wishing for Clark, and not so sure Gore getting in is a good idea. In many ways (short of Clark entering the race) Edwards is my only hope for being happy getting behind a candidate. I did send Edwards a little money in the first quarter of 2007 (and Richardson too), but I have held back really offering my full support because...it's hard to explain...

Would you be more likely to support Edwards if he projected more of an "executive" style?
