Support Financial Reform

 

We already saw what happens when we don't hold corporations, big banks and credit card companies accountable for reckless behavior: millions in lost jobs, billions in taxpayer-funded bailouts and trillions in lost retirement savings.

Now's the time Congress must finally stand up and put a check on the reckless behavior on Wall Street, close the loopholes that helped cause the financial crisis and pass strong financial reform that protects consumers.

 

Message

Dear [Decision Maker],
The reckless behavior of big banks on Wall Street, credit card companies, mortgage lenders and irresponsible consumers caused a financial crisis that cost Americans millions in lost jobs, billions in tax-payer funded bailouts and trillions in lost retirement savings.

I'm writing you today to ask you to support financial reform that will rein in this behavior and finally hold these corporations, big banks and individuals accountable by:

- Setting limits on pay for CEOs and executives whose companies receive government assistance;

- Cracking down on the abuses and deceptive practices of credit card companies;

- Increasing stability for small businesses; and

- Preventing predatory lenders and irresponsible borrowers from entering into loans they know cannot be paid back.

Financial reform will close the loopholes that big banks on Wall Street have taken advantage of over the past two decades, and which economists say helped cause the financial crisis.

A full 70% of voters believe America's financial system is in need of major reform. It's time to protect Americans who play by the rules, help small businesses, prevent future bailouts and job losses, and lay the foundation for a financial system that promotes stability and long-term economic growth, rather than greed and short term-profits.



Sincerely,
