Dear Super Congress - Bring Our War Dollars Home!

Seventy members of Congress have signed a short letter to the 12-member Super Congress calling for ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, thereby "saving more than $1.8 trillion from current law spending levels over ten years."  That’s $1.8 trillion in savings beyond already-planned troop drawdowns.  And it’s $700 billion more in savings than President Obama proposed this week to find through a plan that cuts our social safety net.  The bipartisan letter concludes: "Before we ask American families to pitch in more, let's bring our troops home -- and, in the process, our tax dollars home."  If you agree with these 70 Congress members, sign below to tell the Super Committee.

Fox News Juan Williams: 'This is The Age Of Ron Paul, Don't Discount A Third-Party Presidential Run'

Fox News Juan Williams drops a hint: A third-party Ron Paul presidential run...?

'People don't understand the power of his supporters.'

“I think the Republican Party has to worry that when all is said and done, he might figure, ‘well, I can’t make it in this party, this party is not for me,’ and if he goes third party in the Fall, he is not going to be taking votes away from Barack Obama,” Hume said.

“You know I think this is the age of Ron Paul in so many ways,” Williams added. “I think he is the father of the tea party, his son is in the Senate, I think you’re exactly right. People don’t understand the power of Ron Paul.”

Calpers CIO Tells CNBC :"I Understand Why People Are Protesting, Wall Street Is A Rigged Game"

CNBC Video - Joseph Dear, Chief Investment Officer CALPERS - Oct. 11, 2011

People are “waking up” to the fact that “the game appears to be rigged,” Joe Dear, CIO of California Public Employees’ Retirement System, told CNBC Tuesday.

“The financial system gets bailed out, executives' salaries stay high and the incomes of people who work for a living, paycheck to paycheck, continue to decline,” said Dear.

The fact that people are taking to the streets because the economy isn't meeting the needs of ordinary Americans "should not come as any surprise to anybody," he explained.

Corporate Raider Asher Edelman Backs Occupy Wall Street: "Banks Win, Taxpayers Automatically Lose"

Asher Edelman, the well-known corporate raider, told CNBC Tuesday that he supported Occupy Wall Street, saying “the greed of the banks are the cause for the terrible economic situation that we have today.”

Edelman helped inspire the character Gordon Gekko in the 1987 film “Wall Street.”

Edelman appeared at Zuccotti Park:

• “The banking system has become a system, which is one large hedge fund supported by the free money of the depositors and by the taxpayers whenever it loses.  That was not the banking system of the 1980s."

• "We are on the verge of another banking crisis.  The government must handle it in another way this time."
