Main Street vs. Wall Street–Help Us Bring Our Money Back Home

A newsletter from Public Banking Institute

Dear Friends of PBI,

This is our work. We educate law and policy makers so they can write and pass legislation that creates

affordable credit for the very people whom they represent. Read the bills in this Special Edition of the Public Banking Newsletter and see the bills for yourself. Public banking is taking on different shapes, but there is no doubt that the framework of legislation is being built.

Eight bills have been submitted in eight statehouses since the Public Banking Institute was formed. This, in addition to the four from 2010. Is this a coincidence? This Special Edition (1 of 2) of the Newsletter has five of the bills listed – the next Special Edition (2 of 2) will include the remaining seven bills.

Clearly, we are contributing to a public banking movement. You can too. Will you help by making a one-time contribution or simply donate $10/month?

The most well-financed lobby in U.S. politics does not wish us success. We can speak truth to power, but our words need to be heard by many more than those on this mailing list. This movement is moving faster than our very limited capacity – we are having to decline our participation in numerous forums because of our meager budget.
