Sign on as a Citizen Co-Sponsor to Bernie's Bill to Break Up the Banks

If it's too big to fail, it's too big to exist. That's the bottom line.

The greed, recklessness, and illegal behavior on Wall Street drove this country into the worst recession since the Great Depression. In the midst of all of this grotesque inequality sits a handful of financial institutions that are still so large, the failure of any one would cause catastrophic risk to millions of Americans and send the world economy into crisis.

I introduced legislation in Congress that would break up too big to fail banks. Can you sign on as a citizen co-sponsor of my bill to show your support?

- Senator Bernie Sanders

I'm not sure what, if anything, this is actually useful for, but it feels good to do it
