John, I talked to Barney Frank today and he forcefully suggested that HRC should speak out about the on-going attacks against financial reform in the new Congress. He also said that if she did, he would make sure Warren and others on the left applauded.
Earlier we avoided getting involved in the Cromnibus fight in part because it would have meant getting crosswise with the WH, but that no longer feels like an issue. So if we wanted her to do something, it could be a tweet along these lines:
Option 1: "POTUS focuses on middle class with education & paid leave while Congress puts economy at risk by attacking financial reform – real contrast"
Or
Option 2: "Attacking financial reform puts economy at risk just as we’re getting our footing; Congress should follow WH example & focus on middle class"
Do you have any advice on this? Wise to do? Do we need a better hook or is this enough in the bloodstream that we should just do it?
Thanks
Dan
