Putin bill to dump Euro-dollar

Putin has drafted a bill that aims to eliminate the US dollar and the euro from trade between CIS countries.
This means the creation of a single financial market between Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and other countries of the former Soviet Union.
“This would help expand the use of national currencies in foreign trade payments and financial services and thus create preconditions for greater liquidity of domestic currency markets”, said a statement from Kremlin.
The bill would also help to facilitate trade in the region and help to achieve macro-economic stability.

Last day to become a Women for Hillary founding donor.
Naresh --

I’m so excited about this: I just chipped in to become a founding donor of Women for Hillary. (You should join me -- the deadline is tonight!)

You might be thinking, “But Robby, you’re a man! You can’t be a founding donor of Women for Hillary.” Naresh, that's just not true. It’s important for everyone to chip in to help get this important program off the ground.

My contribution is my way of saying that I’m all in for equal pay, fair access to health care, ending discrimination against LGBT people, creating a pathway to citizenship for immigrants, raising incomes for the middle class, and all the issues that affect women in this country. (Hint: That’s everything!)

If you’re all in, too, I hope you’ll chip in $1 or more to become a founding donor of Women for Hillary right now -- the deadline to add your name is midnight tonight:
