IV - It Is Time to Rethink Afghanistan

Before we commit more troops and taxpayer dollars to Afghanistan, don't you think we should have a national conversation to address the many questions surrounding this war? Urge the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee to hold oversight hearings in order to rethink our policy toward Afghanistan and uphold the nation's system of checks and balances. Make your voice heard, before it's too late: http://rethinkafghanistan.com/

IX - Fix CNBC

CNBC has done nothing more than PR work for Wall Street. They've been so obsessed with getting "access" to failed CEOs that they willfully passed on misinformation to the public for years, helping to get us into the economic crisis we face today. Enough is enough. CNBC needs to clean up its act and do what it always should have been doing: strong, watchdog journalism -- asking tough questions to Wall Street, debunking lies, and reporting the truth. Help the CNBC atone for their past mistakes, join the Fix CNBC campaign today: http://fixcnbc.com/

X - A New Way Forward

12 million unemployed. Foreclosures up 81%. Wall Street has taken over. Enough is enough. A New Way Forward is a grassroots movement pushing back, demanding that we break up the banks and never again let them get so big that they distort our politics and take down the economy.

If it's too big to fail, it's too big to exist. Dismantle the power of the financial elite and make policies that keep a new crop from springing up. To learn how you can take action go to: http://www.anewwayforward.org/the_idea/
