You've probably all signed the Petition to have Obama nominate Warren over at Forrest Brown's excellent diary.
Now please JOIN UP on the Elizabeth Warren FACEBOOK PAGE that former Harvard Law students who had Warren as a law professor have started. Obama's people really care about facebook and social networking, and if we got enough people this could, like the petition, get their attention.
Here is the Elizabeth Warren Facebook Group.
This will also be a good place to post the most recent articles about Warren and her potential nomination and to discuss them publicly.
Here is the Description of the Group:
Elizabeth Warren has the guts, the brains, and the experience necessary to head the newly formed Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The Bureau will play a vital watchdog role in protecting consumers from shoddy financial products, and needs a strong leader who won’t back down in the face of heavy political pressure. Warren has what it takes and we urge the President to nominate her.
Warren came up with the idea of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and has been its most passionate advocate. She saw early on how without consumer protection, the other reforms in the bill would do little to protect Americans from shoddy financial business practices.
As chair of the TARP bailout oversight panel, she has held Wall Street executives' feet to the fire, standing up for the right of taxpayers to get a fair deal for their money. She has made powerful people uncomfortable. She is independent and not afraid to speak out. These qualities are exactly what we need in the head of the new Consumer Protection Bureau to be effective.
We call on President Obama to nominate Elizabeth Warren to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and for Congress to confirm the appointment without delay!
