STOP the Casino Economy,
INVEST in the Real Economy




New! Grit TV's critique of Obama's Proposal for Wall Street Regulation


Treasury Secretary Geithner has unveiled his Financial Stability Plan without addressing the casino economy. Tell Congress strict regulation of Wall Street is imperative. Tax dollars should not go to the gamblers. No More Casino Economy--like the totally unregulated $60 TRILLION in "credit default swaps."

New AfD Project! General Agreement on a New Economy
Doesn't it bother you that in this economic crisis Wall Street gets bailed out while families and communities are left to fend for themselves? GANE is a way of thinking about the economy which centers on the local community and builds outward to regional and national levels. Check it out!
