Bank lobbyists are spending millions to kill financial reforms. Will you spend a few minutes to make sure your senator doesn't fall for it? |
Great Message from AARP
Right now an army of banking lobbyists is running a multi-million dollar effort to water down the reforms that would help protect you against the fat cats that got us into this financial mess.
And unless we fight back, they might just succeed.
Your senators are home for spring recess this week, and we need them to get the real story from constituents like you. A letter to the editor is one of the most effective ways to get your senator's attention.
Will you write your letter to the editor today? I just sent my own letter, and to help get you started, I've included a list of talking points I used to write mine.
Here's what's at stake: Right now, the Senate is considering legislation that would put in place new rules of the road that rein in the reckless behavior of big banks and crack down on the abusive and deceptive practices used by credit card companies.
Just months ago, your emails and calls helped us pass these reforms through the House. But Wall Street lobbyists are fighting tooth and nail to protect the bonuses, loopholes, and sweetheart deals that many financial predators still enjoy while millions of Americans lose their jobs and savings.
Big banks, credit card companies, and mortgage lenders must be held accountable. But it's up to us to make it happen.
Thank you for standing up to Wall Street's excesses. With the help of people like you, I know we can get our message through to Congress in time.
Sincerely,
Barry Jackson
