Lots of actions items at Common Cause today. This one has to do with opposing the nomination of Congressman Chris Cox as the Chairman of Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Please call the members of the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs ("Senate Banking Committee")today and urge them to oppose the Cox nomination today. Let these Senators know that the confirmation of Rep. Cox should not move forward because he is not a suitable candidate for this job. Here are the phone numbers of the members of the Senate Banking Committee:

Majority Members (Republicans)
Member Name DC Office Phone Nos.

Richard C. Shelby (R-AL) [Chairman] 202-224-5744

Right now,we have some serious questions about Rep. Cox’s ability to just that, which is to protect the public. We have these reservations based on a number of reasons (Click "read more" to read about our reservations concerning Rep. Cox's nomination to the SEC). The timing is crucial now because by Tuesday of next week the Senate Banking Committee members will be reviewing Congressman Cox’s record to determine whether or not he is a good choice to serve as the chair of the SEC. You need to make these calls today in order to ensure they have gotten our message concerning our reservations over Rep. Cox's nomination. So, please place these calls today, and let us know how your calls are going by posting your comments right here. Thank you!

Here are the key reasons, why we have so many reservations and questions about the Cox Nomination.

First, Congressman Chris Cox championed an amendment to the 1995 Private Securities Litigation Reform Act that would have made it almost impossible for investors who had been recklessly defrauded by corporate executives to get their money back. His bill would have shielded companies like Enron and their accountants, such as Arthur Andersen, from investor lawsuits.

Secondly, we also have questions about Rep. Cox’s role as an attorney representing clients who went to prison for defrauding investors for millions of dollars. (Michel Hiltzik, Cox's Past Ties to Con Man Raise Questions, L.A. Times, June 9, 2005)

Third, given the huge campaign contributions Rep. Cox has previously received from the financial industry, we think he has a serious conflict of interest: Will he serve as the protector of rights of investors and corporate employees or will he be beholden to those who financed his campaigns? Specifically, since 1989, his campaigns have raised more than $2 million from business political action committees. (Stephen Labaton, Bush S.E.C. Pick Is Seen as Friend to Corporations, N.Y. Times, June 2, 2005) The list of top 20 industries contributing to his campaigns includes securities and investment firms, which have given him over $256,000; law firms, which have given him $364,000; and accounting firms, which have given him over $207,000.

For these reasons, we urge you to call the members of the Senate Banking Committee today and urge them to oppose the Cox Nomination today. Again, someone who is tyring to get confirmed as the nation's chief securities law enforcement officer, should have a demonstrated commitment to the rights of investors. Rep. Cox's history in Congress and as a private attorney raises red flags that the Senate should not ignore. So, please call the members of the Senate Banking Committee today and let them know that you oppose Rep. Chris Cox's nomination.

SEC takeover

What's with these XX@### Republicans, trying to fill all the key posts with their devious, helpful friends? Can't blame them for trying but they feather their own nests. Come election time heads will roll. Their scheming ways reminds us what Republicans do, that's what Republicans do. Get the rascals out!

Re: SEC takeover

It appears that you lump all persons with blue eyes into the category of weak eyed - if you get my drift. The creatures at the helm today are neither republican or democrat, they are slimeballs who would sell out their own families to get what they want (CONTROL) of all things. I believe they better fit into the category of nazis and totalitarians than our so-called political parties.

Perhaps you have noticed that it is more and more difficult to distinguish between the D's and R's or actually they seem to be switching platform basics.

Re: SEC takeover

I agree with your assessment. I myself am quite progressive, and far to the left of either party, but I don't think it is fair to lump all Republican citizens as being the same. Indeed, I view us all as one people, with different opinions, which the parties try to work to their advantage.

Laying blame on the Republican leadership, that's a different story. Laying the blame at the feet of specific people is even better, as it helps show the american people that these 'leaders' are not looking our for the best interests of the American populace.

Re: SEC takeover

As has been stated already; "Laying the blame at the feet of specific people is even better" ... that blame rests squarely with US, with "US" being The American People/The Electorate.

We (the total population) have allowed ourselves to be DIVIDED by Machiavellian "tactics of distraction" for decades, since the inception of The Republic;
Slave State/Free State, Dred Scott Decision, let alone the current bullshit issues such as abortion, mandatory sentencing, military draft, and meaningless "Hot Button" issues.

The REAL intent of all this distraction is to continually obfuscate what REALLY goes on; The systematic further centralization of POWER (not money as such) in the hands of the Rich Few (Bilderbauer) as carried out by obscure amendments to otherwise little noticed laws (senate) & funding (congress) that cement this march to totalitarianism. The American People are lost, wondering if thier feet can endure toenail fungus, lowering BAD Cholestrol, and buying the latest brain-rot video game, let alone watching Hookers masquerading as Pop Singers that can't whisper a decent note without backup singers.

This has been accomplished by none other than the various media companies, who have sold out long ago.

WE (The People) MUST regain a sense of what is for The COLLECTIVE GOOD for The Nation, and prosecute (FOR TREASON!) the offending WHORES (Congress & Senate) that are selling OUR country to the Schmucks With The Bucks!

I am a moderate liberal patriotic viet vet black travelin' man, which is to say I believe I could be "any or all of us", after all; The 1st Nations/American Indians REALLY needed better immigration laws in 1692 ...

Re: SEC takeover

"IF YOU TELL A SOCIETY SOMETHING LONG ENOUGH (the same things over and over again) sooner or later that society is actually going to believe what you are telling them.

Wake up, kids - the boogeyman isn't "COMING"...the boogeyman is already here.

We are being lead like LEMMINGS to our own dismay and this is all happening to us because we are being quiet and tolerating it.

No good change worth having comes without speaking up. NOW IS THE TIME TO BEGIN being PROACTIVE!

The American Spirit that is strong, unafraid and valiant is asleep at the helm because we have someone who denounces Saddam that is no different in a lot of other ways. Someday America will see this.

AS CHRISTIAN people (at least that is what we "call" ourselves) we have a responsbility to not only be firm and strong in the world, when necessary to defend our honor and integrity (something that the American People are sleeping on) - WE ALSO HAVE THE RESPONSBILITY TO BE CARING OF THE WORLD AS WELL.

In my humble opinion, big oil now is the landlord of America. It hasn't gotten bad, YET - but if the trend continues (watch out: Jeb will run next!) we will be BACK to eating macaroni & cheese while the fat cats drive around in their limo's...if that is not a mirror reflection of what we should be DISDAINING, then, no wonder Mother Nature is trying to get rid of us all.

Re: SEC takeover

Regarding your comments - This is no different than what the @#*&(&^$@ democrats do. Wake UP!!! Our system of government has become so set against the other party, that there is NOT the good of the country being sought by our politicians. It's the demise of the other party. Regardless of which is in power, it is the constant, and overwhelming waste of resources, energy, and money to discredit the other. The "common good" of this county, and it's people is not in the interest, or mind of either party - it is the "common good" of the party - to hell with the other. We have serious problems facing our country, from environmental to political, and all the politicians want to do is point fingers, cause disruptions, and distractions , and say - our party has the solution, not theirs. The "common good" of this country has been replaced by partisan politics - and BOTH parties are equally responsible in the problems we face today, and tomorrow.

SEC and Chris Cox

The nomination of Chris Cox is another way for the people of this country to lose,everything that has been made possible before this group of republicans came into office. Each day brings some new underhanded deceitful way to undermine the rights of the common people to be represented.
This is outrageous, the last few weeks we have been trying to save Public Television and now the the SEC is going to go the way of everything else, like Medicare, don't the haves have enough.
The school systems lack funding, medicaid, tax cuts, etc. plus the outsourcing of jobs and cutting jobs to protect the bottom line. These people do not have a clue, about the miserable mess that has been created, because they are only concerned with how much more they can intrude and deny the common people.
Of course this is not Enron, Global Crossing,that
they are doing this to, it is all of the rest of us.Since when did corporations become the ones who need to be protected.

The GOP likes to relate how so many of us in middle america now have a stake in the stock market though IRAs, 401Ks and mutual funds.

We need to exercise our power and vote the insider boards out with our proxies, vote for congressional representatives who will not just feed at the corporate trough but actually represent the people.

If they continue to cut away the social service safety net, gut social security and expect us to rely on our own work and investments - they need to be thinking about the individual stock holders if were to survive in this brave new ownership society they envision. If we return to world ruled by caviat emptor with no regulation we are powerless.

Appointment of Cox to SEC Not OKAY

As an independent financial advisor, I am concerned about what I am hearing on Mr. Cox's background. In order to have relatively stable financial markets we need a leader in this position who will work to serve the investor rather than coverup for business.

I urge you to oppose this wrong-headed appointment of Mr. Cox.

No Cox

The SEC was established during FDR's tenure to protect the American investing public from stock market marauders and fraud. Chris Cox lacks any public interest/watchdog background. His interest, clearly, is in allowing the present climate of corruption to continue. If we are to remain an enlightened capitalist democracy, not devolve to corporate plutocracy, we must find a responsible, high-minded SEC chairman. Not Chris Cox.

by Anonymous Citizen on Thu Jul 21, 2005 at 04:01:45 PM EST

SEAC, Cox, Sen. Banking Committee and Chm. Shelby

I have more reservations about Chairman Shelby than about Cox because I have direct experience of Shelby. He interferes in the proper business of the banking committee, and has for two decades or more. He isn't afraid to stiff-arm anyone in Congress who won't help cover up crookedness at any financial institution. He has protected the FDIC from being explosed for covering up for crooked banks, and he definitely doesn't want the SEC to be an effective guardian of the public, either. Shelby doesn't want either banking committee to be effective. If we could get him off that committee, it would be best -- unless someone worse succeeds him.
As for Cox, does anyone know where he was and what he was doing in the mid-1980s? This is when the congressional oversight committees began to be undermined and broken down.

Deny Cox SEC Chairmanship

As a resident of San Diego County I know only too well how corporate business can influence a member of Congress. I have no doubt that Mr. Cox can well represent the financial interests that he has advanced and defended over the years. But as an investor, I have no confidence that he even understands what my interests are as a stockholder and how to defend them against those of his former colleagues.

Cox as David against the Goliath of the financial industry strikes me as wishful thinking, even ludicrous. I would be negligent to advance such a poor choice to champion the interests of my fellow stockholders. liznandy

Corporate Takeover of SEC

It is hilarious to talk about protesting the nomination of Cox when the entire system of govenrment (particularly the congress and the executive branch) represent nothing but the corporate interest. Why this circus? Let us call our system of government the "government of the corporations, for the corporations and by the corporations"

Reject Cox for the SEC

Over the past several years, the Bush administration has led an assault on individual freedom that has not been seen since slavery. The goal seems to be that everything would be controlled by big businesses. Our constitutional rights would be so limited we would have no recouse to decisions made by greedy politicians and corporate officers, if one could even separate one from the other.

Corporate flim-flam has gone virtually unpunished as in the Enron fiasco even though many "unimportant" citizens were financially hurt and those that profitted were allowed to keep their ill-gotten gains.

Do not all this to continue. Do not allow another important point of control to fall to the Bush administration and the corporate machines!

SEC's Donaldson out, Cox in: One Step Forward, Two

We have been covering the massive fraud of creating counterfeit shares of stock through naked short selling in our stock markets for over a year. While we believe that replacing Donaldson, who has been inept at addressing the fraud in the stock market system, Cox is NOT the proper person to protect America's investors! It's just another step in the selling out of our country to the rich and powerful.

This is from an article at http://www.faulkingtruth.com/

As much as I've tried to keep partisan politics out of the stock counterfeiting and naked short selling issue, since it so obviously affects Americans of every walk of life and political affiliation, Bush's choice of Cox to replace Donaldson reeks of political cronyism, and could turn out to be a grave mistake for the small investor. While Donaldson ignored naked short selling during his tenure as SEC Chairman, Cox might actually give it his seal of approval. After all, this is the same guy who sponsored a bill in the mid-90's that would have required investors who filed lawsuits against corporations to pay legal fees if they lost.

Do all of these warning signs mean that Cox will pander to big business and trample on the rights of the millions of small investors who have been robbed blind by the stock market fraud that has been allowed to run rampant for years? Not necessarily, but there are enough red flags here to cause serious doubt as to his qualifications to lead the organization whose own mission statement is "to protect investors and maintain the integrity of the securities market".

Chris Cox's background shows that as Chairman of Securities Exchange, he would do nothing to prevent this happening again. In fact, if the 1995 Private Securities reform act that Congressman Cox highly supported had passed, Mr. Ebbers would probably be walking free today.

We need a Chairman with a balanced view, not just one who will look out for the Corporations.
