Don’t Cave on the Volcker Rule! Don’t let the financial industry do it again! The Volcker Rule can prevent risky trades by banking institutions that led to near catastrophe and massive bailouts in 2008. Final issuance by the regulators is subject to public comment until Feb 13, 2012. See below for contact info.
Google “Volcker Rule”; then submit a comment of your own via regulations.gov. Here’s a shortcut link for sending one to the Office of the Controller of the Currency (one of four regulators soliciting comments).

Sample Comment: “Please don’t yield to industry attempts to emasculate (“rewrite,” etc.) the Volcker Rule. Protect the public interest: limit trading by banks to that using customers’ money.”
