Tell the Senate: We Need a Consumer Financial Protection Agency

Submitted by admin on February 1, 2010 – 3:45 pm

When Banks AttackToasters, toys, Tylenol, title loans: one of these things is not like the others. We have government agencies in charge of regulating many consumer products, but not nearly enough attention is given to financial products.  With your help, that can change.

Financial reform passed the House in December, but just barely. Now, we’re facing the same fight in the Senate, and the banks are pulling out all the stops to kill legislation that would create reform.  It’s up to us to make sure our Senators stand up for Main Street, not Wall Street.

Sign our petition and tell the Senate to support financial reform and the Consumer Financial Protection Agency.
