This is the segment of the show when you have the opportunity to make yorself heard here on The Big Picture. Yesterday - the nation marked the tenth anniversary of 9/11 terrorist attacks. In ceremonies - large and small - all across the country and even in countries abroad - people gathered to remember the lives that were lost on that tragic day that forever altered our reality as a nation. Many things have changed in our daily lives since 9/11, but as the President pointed out last night at the "Concert for Hope" event in Washington, DC - 9/11 may have changed the United States forever - but we cannot allow it to define us as a people.....Many of you contacted us over the past few days to share your thoughts and feelings on the legacy of 9/11 as the country paused to mark this milestone anniversary.

If you're driving down one particular stretch of road in Bemidji, Minnesota - there's a good chance you might not know exactly what street you're on. That's because most of the street signs along it have been stolen. Such is the problem with Stoner Avenue - a road named after Marcus Stoner - Bemidji's first city engineer who lived in the late 1800's - and a road that's signage has a big appeal to people who like having ironic street signs hanging from their walls. Over the last decade - the city has spent $20000 replacing stolen street signs along Stoner Avenue - and just recently held a council meeting to discuss the possibility of changing the street's name. However - about 40 property owners along Stoner Avenue protested the name change - arguing that it would be a huge hassle on them to have to update their driver's licenses and other important documents with an address change. So for now - Stoner Avenue stays. City officials are hoping that those who wish to steal the street signs in the future...will just forget - or get such a bad case of the munchies that they'll be easy to round up at the local Dunkin' Donuts.

Mike Hudson, Center for Public Integrity joins Thom Hartmann. Watching Republicans debate - you've probably noticed a lot of talk about repealing new government regulations - in particular regulations passed last year as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform bill. You know - those regulations that aim to prevent something like the Bush-era market melt-down from happening again. At least there's consistency on the Right - as Republicans in Congress have also launched an all-out assault on new banking regulations at the behest of their Wall Street campaign donors - like JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, who turned some heads over the weekend in an interview with the Financial Times when he called new banking regulations "anti-American." So why does it seem like Republicans want a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis - and how is keeping banks from gambling with our money "Anti-American"? Over the years - we've handed more and more pieces of our economy to the banksters on Wall Street - and look where's it's gotten us - and the rest of the world. Enough is enough - time to handcuff them with some common sense regulations to that they stop gambling with our money. Better yet - just handcuff them - and lock them up fraud defrauding the middle class out of trillions of dollars - then they might actually learn a lesson.

Karen Finney, Democratic Strategist, joins Thom Hartmann. Lawmakers will be back in session tonight - and waiting for them will be President Obama's "American Jobs Act" - which was formally submitted to Congress today. Now it's up to Republicans to figure out what they'll do with it. And according to at least one senior Republican aide - they're likely going to stick with the same game plan they've used all year...and that's saying...hell no - you can't!
