New Federal Site Launches - Consumer Financial Protection

I received an email from the City Bar this afternoon announcing the launch of a new web site which is "open" for suggestions as to how you as a consumer can be protected regarding your financial situation.  As I looked into it, they are seeking postings with "humor" -- which I found just down right depressing to read.

The national banks are running roughshod over consumers, and this website funded by our taxes it appears, is looking for humor on the subject.

The press release states: 

In July 2010, Congress created a new federal agency to protect American

consumers. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will be a cop on the
beat, working to make consumer financial markets work better for
American families. As the first new consumer agency of the 21st century,
we can communicate directly with the people we serve.

And they are looking for humor....or a "tweet" or a U-Tube Video....as they write, "Most of all, be real

about what matters to you. "   Here is the link for suggestions where you can post as you like...
