President Obama will nominate someone to head up the Federal Reserve very soon. News reports say Larry Summers is leading his short-list. But Summers would be a terrible pick. Summers has a long history of making sexist comments--like saying girls don't have the genetic gifts to do well in math and science. And the Federal Reserve has a lot of power over our economy--an economy that is hitting women and families especially hard right now.
There's another person on the shortlist--Janet Yellen--an amazing economist who could shatter the glass ceiling at the Fed and help build an economy that works for all of us--not just the few.
Can you sign the petition telling Obama not to nominate Summers? The media is just starting to cover this story, and if enough of us speak out, we can make it clear to them and President Obama that people everywhere think Summers is the wrong pick.
