Exactly... this is where it all started.. the economic collapse of course, with Barney Frank and his cohorts.

This is absolutely necessary. I think if people knew what it was, why it was originally passed into law and what has happened since Clinton repealed it, they would support it's immediate restoration.

Yes - I agree with this.

While this could be a great starting point for an initial demand, I cannot find a solid resource anywhere that shows popular support for this measure. If the vast majority of Americans are behind this initiative, it could be our first demand- but has anyone been able to find critical analysis and polls showing this support?

Yes...please do. Any other Clinton regulations that caused the financial crisis that need to be unwound.
