Gee, Marcy Kaptur introduces this, and where are the sponsors?

Roscoe Bartlett [R-MD6]
John Conyers [D-MI14]
Danny Davis [D-IL7]
Marcia Fudge [D-OH11]
Jesse Jackson [D-IL2]
Walter Jones [R-NC3]
James McDermott [D-WA7]
James Moran [D-VA8]
Kurt Schrader [D-OR5]
Louise Slaughter [D-NY28]
Edolphus Towns [D-NY10]
Maxine Waters [D-CA35]
Lynn Woolsey [D-CA6]

Where’s Ron Paul in this list? Bachmann? Anyone with an “R” after their name?

What does this bill do? Put Glass-Steagall back in force. That’s all. The text is refreshingly short and not difficult to understand at all.

Probably hard to find co-sponsors on this. Anyone bought and paid for by Wall St won't go along, and anyone who opposes all government regulation will be opposed. Who's left?

What will happen to Citigroup?


Citigroup is in direct violation (http://curiouscapitalist.blogs.time.com/2008/12/02/are-citigroups-troubles-evidence-that-glass-steagall-repeal-was-a-colossal-mistake/) of the Glass-Steagall Act.

That's why he's the man. Common sense. :)
