Robert, in case you hadn't heard, Larry Summers has withdrawn his name from consideration to become the next chair of the Federal Reserve. Winning feels good. Let's give some credit where it's due. *Please sign our “thank you” petition to Sens. Sherrod Brown, Jeff Merkley, Jon Tester and Elizabeth Warren, the four Democrats on the Banking Committee whose leadership was essential in stopping Larry Summers from becoming the next chair of the Federal Reserve.<http://kos.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=JwwxTPg%2BHV2uRy6vgnw0VemJZ0bcS%2BhP> * This win didn’t come easy. Over 165,000 members of the Daily Kos community took action—signing petitions, calling their senators and emailing the White House—as part of our campaign to stop Larry Summers. It worked. Last Friday, Sen. Jon Tester became the fourth Democrat on the powerful Banking Committee to publicly announce his opposition to Summers. Realizing that he didn’t have the votes to make it out of committee—much less pass the full Senate—Summers removed his name for consideration last night. Sherrod Brown, Jeff Merkley, Jon Tester and Elizabeth Warren stood up to intense pressure in fighting against this appointment and we won because of it. They deserve our thanks. *Sign the petition: Thank the four Democrats who helped beat Larry Summers.<http://kos.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=naSkS1SjtOfiY2iUDNZxoOmJZ0bcS%2BhP> * Keep fighting, Michael Langenmayr Campaign Director, Daily Kos * P.S.
