WASHINGTON, DC -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/14/07 -- This week's report by the US Chamber of Commerce Commission on the Regulation of US Capital Markets reads like a set of special pleadings to alter the rules of the economy to benefit the few, says a letter sent today to the chairs and ranking members of key Congressional committees from SEIU (Service Employees International Union) President Andy Stern. Today the US Chamber is convening its first annual "Capital Markets Summit" in Washington.

"The worst development for our country would be to tweak the rules of the game yet again in a way that would enable the few to profiteer, without creating an America that shares prosperity with everybody," says Stern in the letter. "We need to work together to solve the crisis of exclusion from the country's economic gains. Otherwise, we risk becoming a society with islands of wealth surrounded by an ocean of economic insecurity, rather than a vast mainland of prosperity."
