>> Carrie,

>> In a Senate hearing this week, Elizabeth Warren grilled a Treasury  
>> official about a major Wall Street bank (HSBC) that was caught  
>> laundering money for Al Quaeda and drug cartels -- repeatedly --  
>> and only got a slap on the wrist.
>>
>> In the video, it's clear that bank regulators aren't used to being  
>> told to go harder on the banks. This is why we worked so hard  
>> together to elect Elizabeth Warren!
>>
>> Click here to watch Warren -- and add your name to hrs, demanding  
>> that regulators take Wall Street banks to trial!
>>
>> (You can also watch here and donate $3 to help us mobilize support  
>> for Warren's agenda.)
>>
>>
>>
>> Warren previously grilling the top SEC official, who admitted they  
>> have no idea when they last took a bank to trial. This week, Warren  
>> underscored her point:
>>
>> "If you're caught with an ounce of cocaine, that chances are good  
>> that you're going to go to jail...but evidently if you launder  
>> nearly a billion dollars for drug cartels, your company pays a fine  
>> and you go home and sleep in your own bed at night. I think that's  
>> fundamentally wrong."
>>
>> Watch her magical performance here -- and sign our petition  
>> demanding that regulators finally take Wall Street banks to trial.
>>
>> (You can also watch here and donate $3 to help us mobilize support  
>> for Warren's agenda.)
>>
>> Thanks for being a bold progressive.
