SCRIPT:

Hi, my name is ____________ and I am calling from _________ to urge Representative/ Senator ___________ to pass swift and comprehensive reform of our financial system.

The key to putting our economy on the road to recovery is ensuring transparency and accountability in our financial system.

We need a strong and fair regulatory system that has the resources and authority necessary to police Wall Street and the big banks.

Real financial reform must include a consumer watchdog agency, like the proposed Consumer Financial Protection Agency, which will set basic safety standards.

It’s imperative that Congress acts to protect consumers like myself and guarantee we will not face another meltdown like the current one.
