Pls RT whole thread: @SenSchumer @SenGillibrand @KamalaHarris @CoryBooker one of most important roles of a POTUS is appointing ppl to run the govt. Great way to know if somebody will be a good POTUS is how they have handled appointments beforehand. 1/14
Pls RT: You have chance to show you will actually take on corporate power — not just pay lip service. Appoint/support ppl with public interest track record to run SEC and FDIC. @SenSchumer @SenGillibrand @KamalaHarris @CoryBooker demandprogress.org/joint-letter-n… 2/14
Pls RT: Prove you believe in the promise of #BetterDeal pledge. Prove that you care about ordinary Americans and will fight for economy that works for them. @SenSchumer @SenGillibrand @KamalaHarris @CoryBooker bloomberg.com/news/articles/… 3/14
Pls RT: People who favor narrow interests of Wall Street/big banks have no place in regulatory spots at SEC/FDIC. @SenSchumer @SenGillibrand @KamalaHarris @CoryBooker 4/14
Pls RT: A Dem selection of anybody w/o clear public-interest track record will belie #BetterDeal, and your respective willingnesses to take on corporate power. @SenSchumer @SenGillibrand @KamalaHarris @CoryBooker 5/14
Pls RT: Yet it appears that people who will do Wall Street bidding are somehow under serious consideration for these critical SEC and FDIC spots. @SenSchumer @SenGillibrand @KamalaHarris @CoryBooker theintercept.com/2018/06/22/chu… 6/14
Pls RT: This is happening even as Republicans work to roll back financial regulations at both statutory and agency levels. @SenSchumer @SenGillibrand @KamalaHarris @CoryBooker 7/14
Pls RT: Trump/McConnell looking to install architect of @MikeCrapo Dodd-Frank rollback at SEC. New FDIC head worked for BOTH @MikeCrapo and @SenShelby @SenSchumer @SenGillibrand @KamalaHarris @CoryBooker 8/14
Pls RT: These Repub regulators will continue efforts to undermine Volcker Rule and Dodd-Frank more generally. They will generally oppose meaningful sanction for violators of the law. @SenSchumer @SenGillibrand @KamalaHarris @CoryBooker 9/14
Pls RT: Yet we continue to have credible reason to think that Democrats are looking to appoint people who will be hesitant to take on Wall Street. @SenSchumer @SenGillibrand @KamalaHarris @CoryBooker theintercept.com/2018/06/22/chu… 10/14
Pls RT: Prospective POTUS candidates who don’t stand up for public interest-oriented noms now CANNOT be trusted to run a government that prioritizes people over corporations. @SenSchumer @SenGillibrand @KamalaHarris @CoryBooker 11/14
Pls RT: Will you take up this charge and take public stand in support of the public interest, @SenGillibrand @KamalaHarris @CoryBooker? @SenSchumer 12/14
Pls RT: Will you commit to appoint people who prioritize public interest, @SenSchumer? Will you oppose any Dem nominee who doesn’t, @SenGillibrand @KamalaHarris @CoryBooker? 13/14
Pls RT: We, the dozens of organizations who have written to you about these SEC/FDIC noms, and the broader progressive grassroots will be watching closely. @SenSchumer @SenGillibrand @KamalaHarris @CoryBooker demandprogress.org/joint-letter-n… 14/14
