ANOTHER victory for the American people, Elizabeth Warren will serve on the US Senate Banking Committee!!!! Thanks to all who participated in the campaign to move Sen Harry Reid to make this appointment happen. Here's my earlier post on the campaign Tell Harry Reid; Don't block Elizabeth Warren from the Senate Banking Committee 1DEZ12

Another victory for Elizabeth Warren.
The last thing Wall Street wanted to happen was Elizabeth Warren getting
into the Senate. That happened, so then the fight moved to keeping her
out of their way. It appears that their worst nightmare is about to
happen: she's in the Senate, and she's going to be in a position of real
power over them. The
Huffington Post's Ryan Grim is reporting that sources have told him that Warren has
secured a key committee assignment.
Nearly two years after Wall Street waged a successful
campaign to keep consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren from running the
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the incoming senator will be
tapped to serve on the Banking Committee, according to four sources
familiar with the situation. It's a victory for progressives who battled
to win her a seat on the panel that oversees the implementation of
Dodd-Frank and other banking regulations.
There are very few people in Washington, D.C. who have a deeper
understanding of the financial world than Warren, and basically none who
have the passion to use that knowledge for good, to protect Main Street
rather than Wall Street. She can light a fire, and educate, other
Senators on the committee to make financial reform real. This is real
change.
8:36 AM PT: Please sign our thank you to Sen. Harry Reid for helping to make this happen.
