AFR and CFA sent a join letter to the House urging members to vote NO on the final passage of the JOBS Act.

“We are deeply disappointed by the Senate passage of the so called “JOBS Act.” With the country still suffering from hard times and high unemployment in the wake of the financial crisis, it is almost unbelievable that the Senate would rush passage of measures that will undermine transparency and accountability in the capital markets, and expose our families to a new round of fraud and abuse. But that is what they have done.”

The AFL-CIO sent a letter to the Senate this morning urging members to vote YES on the Reed Amendment to the JOBS Act.
