Statement from Lisa Donner, executive director, Americans for Financial Reform, on House passage of H.R. 10, the Financial CHOICE Act:

“Lawmakers who voted for this bill are granting Wall Street megabanks and predatory lenders a license to defraud ordinary Americans, and to put our economic security at risk for the narrow, short-term gains of a tiny elite. Consumers, investors and anyone who felt the impact of the financial crisis and recession will want to fight to ensure that not just the whole bill, but the set of dangerous proposals it includes, die in the Senate.”
