#26: Angelo - PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION 

 I am being asked why I did not ask for SIPC for all victims in the petition so I will try and explain.  1) The petition and demands had to be kept reasonable and achievable.  2) The petition is for the COURTS and GOVERNMENT.  The courts and government do not make decisions regarding SIPC, this is decided by the SEC and SIPC.  3) To ask for SIPC for all would have brought opposition from the people on the US committee who do not think that the International victims should be paid by America, and they may have encouraged politicians to ignore what we are saying.  4) I wanted a petition that would get the support of the American public.  5) Someone is already writing to the Senate asking that SIPC be paid to all victims and it would have been rude to interfere with what this person has been working on.  6) We need to take baby steps and be realistic in what we are asking for, but mainly we need our voices to be heard, and that is the whole point of signing this petition.  LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD, or don't complain when you are ignored!!
