Nancy Pelosi was asked this week about Elizabeth Warren criticizing the administration for being soft on Wall Street. She replied, "That is not the consensus in our party... the financial industry certainly doesn't agree with that."

Which of the following do you think Democrats should adopt as "consensus positions?" (Check all that apply.)

"Too big to fail" banks should be broken up. The tax loophole that lets millionaire hedge fund managers pay just 14% tax on huge profits should be closed. Competition for big Wall Street banks should be created by offering banking services in post offices. Financial transactions should be taxed at 1% to reduce speculative Wall Street gambling. Wall Street banks should not be allowed to deduct fines or penalties when figuring their taxes. A new Glass-Steagall law to force Wall Street banks to choose between holding people’s life savings or gambling on high-risk investments.

From what you've seen so far, do you think these candidates will run on bold economic populist issues and challenge powerful interests?

Hillary Clinton	Bernie Sanders	Martin O'Malley	Lincoln Chafee

To press presidential candidates to campaign on bold ideas, I would: Write a letter to the editor. Call voters about candidates' positions. Host an organizing house party. Attend events in my area. Ask candidates questions in town meetings. Ask local officials to join the cause. Volunteer another way.
