Give McKenna a Wake Up Call

From Jay Inslee's campaign:


This morning we received news of a settlement deal that falls far short of holding Wall Street banks accountable for their fraudulent mortgage practices. But the deal still has to go to individual state officials for review. That’s why, in 24 hours, we will deliver Jay’s petition urging Rob McKenna to hold Wall Street accountable -- and we haven’t heard from you yet.
Add your name now -- and then forward this message to all of your friends who care about making sure our leaders are holding Wall Street accountable.
Rob McKenna continues to stand by what press reports indicate amounts to a giveaway to the banks. But the work of our online community and others who agree that Wall Street should be held accountable are having an effect.
Two weeks ago, dissatisfied state attorneys general, or their representatives, from about a dozen different states met independently of the big Wall Street bank mortgage settlement negotiations McKenna has been helping to lead. These attorneys general continue to be concerned about the mortgage settlement terms circulated to the states -- with New York attorney general Eric Schneiderman going so far as to say he may reject the deal as doing too little to fully investigate wrongdoing by the banks.

These attorneys general know what you and I do: The deal on the table isn’t living up to the standards that Jay, more than 50 of his congressional colleagues, a growing group of pro-consumer state attorneys general, and common sense demand:

• No criminal or civil immunity for the banks
• Full investigations of claims that haven't yet been looked into by the federal government and state attorneys general
• Compensation that accurately reflects the extent of harm to all victims

But Rob McKenna has said on the radio that this settlement doesn’t include fully investigating the banks’ wrongdoing. And now the deal is in its final stages of review by the states. This may be the only chance we have to hold Wall Street banks accountable for the damage they caused millions of families and to our economy. McKenna needs to hear from you now, before he agrees to a settlement that lets those banks off the hook.
With less than 24 hours until we deliver the petition, we need you to add your voice now. One in every 1,438 Washington homes have been foreclosed on. Rob McKenna needs to understand that Washingtonians want action, not a get out of jail free card for the banks.
Add your name now, before we deliver the petition tomorrow.
