LaRouchePAC Policy Committee Release: Congress Must Unite Against Wall Street — Restore Glass-Steagall Now
July 16, 2013 • 11:18PM
The following is a release from the LaRouchePAC Policy Committee
During the week of July 15th, the six members of the LaRouchePAC Policy Committee will be engaged in a Week of Action in Washington, D.C. to mobilize the most forward-thinking members of Congress to implement a national recovery program, spearheaded by the reinstatement of Glass-Steagall.
The team of six, representing regional constituencies from the areas of California, Washington, Texas, Michigan, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, has been in close collaboration with Lyndon LaRouche through regularly broadcast Monday afternoon discussions, beginning during the 2012 election cycle, when five of the six ran for federal office. At that time they garnered both regional support, and the national spotlight.
This past Monday, the Policy Committee stated their intent to use the Week of Action to dramatically change the national policy-making agenda on the basis of unprecedented collaboration among the members of Congress, beyond party loyalties and despite the current President and his gross abuse of his Constitutional privileges. Their work on Capitol Hill will be focused on drafting the Congressional leadership who will be engaged in forcing through the reinstatement of Glass-Steagall, replacing Wall Street with a Hamiltonian national credit system, and launching a new era of high-technology, national projects on a scale even greater than Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal. Lyndon LaRouche announced this initiative at the outset of his Friday, July 12th Live Webcast:
“We’re going to have to induce a kind of cooperation that has not been considered for some time in the history of the United States Senate and House of Representatives.”
Mr. LaRouche went on to cite the most pressing, life or death issues facing the United States, issues brought on by U.S. adherence to the pro-genocidal policies of Wall Street and the British Monarchy: 1) The pending food and water crisis — starvation and epidemic disease; 2) The lack of employment, especially skilled, full-time employment; 3) the 50-year take-down of U.S. manufacturing and production; and 4) the education of young people to be gangsters rather than citizens.
LaRouche continued: “So what we need is a consensual approach on a limited number of issues... On certain crucial issues, the United States, through the cooperation in the Congress, must conduct what will amount to a major sweep of changes in the way the United States government is organized.
“And I believe that there are enough people in the Congress who would be individually willing to put their shoulders to the wheel on this one. And there are other problems which need to be dealt with, with more emphasis on the Congress. The American people right now have no confidence in the Presidential system. They have only the fear of the Presidential system, not cooperation. They don’t anticipate cooperation.
“We’ve got to realize that Wall Street is going to collapse. The only way it would continue is if they put a Hitler-style dictatorship over the United States and Europe at the same time, otherwise, you cannot hold together this system of Wall Street and so forth, and in Europe either. You cannot! You’re dealing with a killer system now.
“And the problem is coming largely from our “rivals,” shall we say, the British monarchy. The British monarchy is now operating on a very serious basis and they’re exerting great influence on our own country. What are they doing? The Queen of England is committed to going to a reduction of the human population of the planet from seven billion people to less than one. And this is already in process. And much of what we’re getting, especially in the Wall Street crowd, reflects this anticipation…
“Therefore, if we can get an agreement among leading members in the Congress, to do this kind of job, to get together and to avoid nonsense differences, we can save the nation. And I think that’s the mission right now... It’s necessary to have a more coherent, positive, assertive leadership from the natural leadership, shall we call it, of the Congress itself.”
RACHEL BROWN — Former candidate for Congress (2010 and 2012), MA-4
"What we need is a complete change of the system. Every aspect of this nation is in free-fall, and we must address it with a unified approach. Wall Street, first of all, must be sunk! It has no interest in our nation. Secondly, we must act as leadership for the world, to restore a system of sovereign nation-states, beginning with a Glass-Steagall–based economic re-organization to dump the debt of the hopelessly bankrupt banks, and return to a federal credit system, the fabric upon which our nation was established."
DIANE SARE — Former candidate for Congress (2012), NJ-5
"Unless Congress acts immediately to bankrupt Wall Street and impose some semblance of justice on this financial system, the nation is going to become ungovernable. This will happen not only because of the devastation caused by economic hardship, such as food shortages, foreclosures, debt slavery, energy shortfalls, and so-called natural disasters, but because unless Congress takes action to defend the principle of the General Welfare, our government would have lost its mandate, enshrined in our Declaration of Independence: the consent of the governed. By acting to pass Glass-Steagall on an emergency basis, the Congress can restore the faith of the American people in the mission and intent of the founders of our republic."
BILL ROBERTS — Former candidate for Congress (2012), MI-11
"Congress must be brought together around a common solution: the American Credit System. Recall how the retooling of the auto industry for WWII worked in the Midwest. They sat down those who knew what could be produced in what factory, and they did it! It simply took the decision and initiative to do it. There was no question of “shareholder value”, whether it violated “free trade”, or was too much “big government”; it was something that needed to be done to save the country, and once that realization was made and they agreed to do it, they figured it out! That’s the point we’re at right now. Agree to the needed recovery of the United States, and the people are there who can figure it out."
KESHA ROGERS — Democratic nominee for Congress (2010 and 2012), TX-22
"In the next two weeks, before Congress even thinks about going on recess, or planning family vacations, they better realize they have a responsibility to the nation that requires them to put their whole heart and soul into the fight to ram through Glass-Steagall. We are going for the full Glass-Steagall as the first step to a reorganized credit policy to build up our national infrastructure, starting with the North American Water & Power Alliance. Anything less is not going to work. There are only six of us, so we need every citizen involved in this fight, this week! Whether we win or lose, is going to depend on how much the population puts into this. Everyone must come in with everything they have right now, and put it into winning the fight for Glass-Steagall."
DAVE CHRISTIE — Former candidate for Congress (2012), WA-9
"In 2012, six LaRouche candidates ran for federal office on a unified slate: not as a collection of individuals running separate campaigns, but as one national policy team. Right now we are seeing the breakup of the party system, and the reality that neither party functions. What we have done as a policy committee — in association with labor, farm leaders, state legislators, and the population in general — is put principle on the table: “Principle over Party.” We have drafted and campaigned for a national policy — a single, integrated national policy — because that’s what it’s going to take to save the nation."
MICHAEL STEGER — LaRouchePAC Field Director, San Francisco, CA
"Mankind has a potential unlike anything else in this universe. We are capable of profound actions, actions beyond most people’s dreams, actions which take us to the outer limits of our solar system, and are actions under our control as a human species. But the fight for that sense of mankind, at this point, is Glass-Steagall. That’s the battleground. Glass-Steagall, not as a banking separation merely, but as a commitment of the U.S. government to all of its people, and to its progeny. It’s this battle, today, this week, where the direction mankind takes, as a species, will be determined."
