With a vote on Senator Chris Dodd’s financial reform legislation soon on horizon, the issue of "Too Big To Fail" is coming to the forefront of today’s news. Stop Too Big To Fail has issued its first TV ad to be aired in Nevada, Virginia, and Missouri the week of April 19. The ads highlights our main issues with the legislation: during the financial crisis big banks and other financial institutions were bailed out while small investors suffered and had their tax dollars recapitalize such institutions while bank bonuses rebounded. A major problem in the legislation is a $50 billion bailout fund for large institutions funded by small investors.

When lawmakers return from their Spring recess on April 12, I hope they will seriously begin to address the breakup of "too big to fail" firms.

Greetings DK: Sam Zamarripa here.

This is my first post about the new movement I co-founded, Stop Too Big To Fail. Our goal - become a powerful voice for those of us, who would like to see our 401k's protected from the greedy behavior that nearly destroyed our financial system last year, and we can't do it without you.

I have been on the front lines of this fight for years - I am a two-term Democratic State Senator from Georgia, President of a private equity firm that focuses on developing businesses in the south, and co-founder of a local bank, United Americas Bank, NA of Atlanta - the kind of bank that still knows how to treat people.
