Iowa Residents and Activists Call on Senator Charles Grassley to Vote for Wall Street Reform
Iowa – Senator Charles Grassley remains uncommitted as Congress is poised to choose sides between Main Street and Wall Street by voting on historic reform legislation. This bill reins in the casino economy created by Wall Street banks, protects consumers and small investors from unfair and predatory practices, and puts safeguards in place to help guarantee that taxpayers will never again be asked to bail out the big banks and other financial firms. Iowa residents and activists will draw a clear line – a vote against financial reform is a vote for Wall Street. We need Senator Grassley and the entire Iowa delegation to vote with Main Street.
