Urgent! Act today for CA 857 on Public Banking!
Your short calls can make the difference to get CA 857 through its first Assembly Committees!
This is the public banking bill that does
so much good
and that we told you about in the April 8 eAlert.
Read the attached PDF for that background on the benefits of public banking.
Please,
this week
, make a one-sentence call to support AB 857! This bill enables California municipalities and counties -- and the state as a whole -- to charter their own public banks.
This week,
your phone call can help
flood the committee members' offices
to get this bill through these committee hurdles!
They're counting calls, they don't need any other information!
The Assembly
Banking and Finance
Committee
hears the bill on
Monday, April 22;
and
the Assembly
Local Government on
Wednesday, April 24.
Please make your calls
this week
--
at least on or before these dates.
Just say:
"I want you to support AB 857, the public banking bill that will be in front of your committee next week."
