President Obama: Investigate Wall Street Corruption
Investigate Wall Street corruption and make executives accountable for the financial crisis they created. Rescind the Justice Department's deferred prosecution agreements that allow financial companies to investigate themselves.

They proceed to explain how new guidelines made by the Justice Department in the late summer of 2008 have "allowed prosecutors to take a 'softer approach' to corporate crimes.

Sign this petition and ask the President to rescind the deferred prosecution agreements and investigate Wall Street corruption.
