[Occupymendocino] [Fwd: Public Banking in Santa Fe, Breaching the Federal Reserve Citadel, and More: Public Banking Institute News]

[agnes at mcn.org]

Dear  Friends at Occupy,

You might like to know about the Fesibility Study that the city of Santa 
Fe, N.M. has done in preparing to launch a City Public Bank. The mayor of
Santa Fe speaks first and then the author of the study speaks. That is
followed by a talk by a 12 year  old Canadian girl who received a standing
ovation.
As you know there is interest across the country in starting Public
Banking since the Big banks have little interest in improving our
economies since the 2008 financial crisis.It's worth the time to listen.

Agnes
