Subject: Breaking: Petition urging President Obama to nominate Paul Krugman for Treasury Secretary gets legs








Below is an email from the actor Danny Glover, who worked with the organization Just Foreign Policy to create a petition
that's taking off on SignOn.org, the nonprofit site that allows anyone to start their own online petition. If you have concerns

Urge President Obama to Nominate Paul Krugman for Treasury Secretary.






Sign
the Petition!







Dear MoveOn member,

Press reports say President Obama will soon nominate a new Treasury Secretary. Press speculation has centered on candidates
likely to support the Wall Street agenda of cuts to Social Security and Medicare benefits and other domestic spending rather
than government policies to create jobs.  



We want President Obama to nominate Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman, who opposes austerity and wants the government
to focus on creating jobs.


That's why I created a petition on SignOn.org to President Barack Obama, which says:


We urge you to nominate Paul Krugman for Treasury Secretary. Krugman will protect Social Security and Medicare from benefit
cuts, promote policies to create jobs, and help defeat the austerity dogma in Washington and around the world.


Click here to add your
name to this petition, and then pass it along to your friends.


Thanks!–Danny
Glover
