A Drive To Bring Back Paper Savings Bonds Languishes Online

Online petitions are rarely as successful as the Bank of America debit card fee petition that became famous last year. This NYT Bucks blog article reviews an online petition that may be of interest to savers. Unfortunately, it has received very few signatures.

But while some 300,000 people signed the petition asking Bank of America to abandon its fee plan, just 128 people so far have supported the savings bond petition.

I think it makes more sense to push for a return of the pre-2008 savings bond purchase limits.
