BREAKING: Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner is advising the White House NOT to put Elizabeth Warren in charge of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau -- a watchdog agency she invented and is most qualified to lead.

Can you sign our urgent petition to the President?

PETITION TO PRESIDENT OBAMA: Elizabeth Warren has proven that she is willing to stand up to Wall Street on behalf of consumers and is the logical choice to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Tim Geithner is a longtime Wall Street insider, and if he's recommending against Elizabeth Warren that's all the more reason to appoint her.

SIGN THE PETITION -- JUST ADD YOUR NAME TO THE RIGHT.

Media excerpts:

New York Times: "The Progressive Change Campaign Committee seized on a report that Mr. Geithner opposes Ms. Warren, whom it calls 'the most credible person' for the job."



Talking Points memo: "Warren is the intellectual godmother of the new protection agency, and has a great deal of support from grassroots progressives. They're trying to counter Geithner by petitioning the President to give her the job."
