"I'm Mad As Hell" Manifesto

People will act when it is important, or at the lowest level, when it is in their self interest.  I want to incite the entire nation to action, but that's more then we can bite off.  But we sure as hell can start with the Vets.  Everyone gives Vets the proper lip service... "oh yeah, they deserve something... our respect
our trust, whatever..." but never specifics. I say we start naming specifics.  Things the President could grant. 

Things he could be shamed into granting.

And then use that foothold for a national referendum in the next presidential election.  Things on the ballot box that Wall Street would hate, the banks would hate, even the politicians would hate... but that the people will embrace.

Here's My "I'm Mad As Hell" Manifesto For Veterans and Active-Duty Soldiers

1. A Veteran's Bank.  A private, possibly non-profit bank designed for Veterans - your needs; meaning accessible anywhere, committed to preserving your nest egg and income, and the house you come home to.  You are 25 million strong... 25-million veterans with a voice and a pocketbook — not bad.  One thing this unique Main Street bank can do is to buy up all the toxic mortages held by Veterans; then readjust their interest rates to reflect market value, and also freeze them when you're on active duty.

2. A Veteran's Credit Card with an interest rate only 5% above Prime. (This credit control is the underlying platform for the ultimate goal of returning credit loans to rates manged so they rise no highter than 18% — a law that was repealed in1978; no credit card should have a credit rate higher than that 18%, and bank charging more than that will be convicted of usery).

3. Veteran loans at just above the Prime Rate. But by having a Veterans bank owned by vets and run by vets, the equity will always be there to care for soldiers before fattening up executives. That said, such loans and deposits would also be very profitable given the shear number of possible customers, namely those 25 million vets, who if anything else, are loyal.

It's about action... a call to arms.  not guns, but the ballot... the march... the email and letter writting campaign. And a movie to explain why this is so important to the men and women protecting our country.
