The fight for Wall Street accountability is far from over. What next for No blank check for Wall Street? There are a few important things to do at this point: A "lessons learned" discussion. What worked well? What could have gone better? What should we be thinking about now to prepare for the next time a battle flares up on short notice? Please share your perspectives in replies on Facebook and on the wiki. Let members of Congress know that we're holding them responsible for their vote. The easiest way to do this is on our thank/spank threads on Facebook here and here. If you'd like to be even more direct, let them know directly on their Facebook pages. Try to keep the media attention on the intense public opposition to a blank check for Wall Street. Our main short-term focus here will be our collaboration with MixedInk on our October 13 open letter to the presidential candidates. We'll start work on that next week -- stay tuned! Here are some other ways you can help.

1. email information about us to your friends, and ask them to help.
   
2. mention us and include links to our Facebook page and our open letter in comments on blogs

We're a multi-partisan group of people demanding accountability for Wall Street for its role in the 2008 financial crisis. We welcome those who oppose a bailout as well as those support a bailout with accountability. The easiest ways to stay in touch are via our Facebook feed or our announcements email list.

We currently have two principles:

1) Wall Street firms and executives should be held accountable, and should not be allowed to profit from misdeeds

2) any government spending or loan guarantees to Wall Street as part of a recovery package must not be a blank check; it must involve meaningful oversight, accountability, and fair compensation to taxpayers.

Please join us!
