The greedy and reckless behavior of big Wall Street banks, credit card companies, and mortgage lenders led our country into a financial crisis. Millions lost their jobs. Millions more lost their homes or value in their homes. Millions lost their college and retirement savings. These same bankers continue to dish out huge bonuses to their own.
Now, more than a year later, is our chance to make a change. Senator Chris Dodd is about to introduce a financial reform bill, and is consulting with other Senators on the banking committee like RI Senator Jack Reed. We need to make sure that Senator Reed gets his colleagues committed to passing a bill that will protect taxpayers and consumers and quash the reckless behavior that got us into this mess. That’s why thousands of activists around the country are calling their Senators at 1-866-544-7573 with a simple message: We need real financial reform that will hold the big banks accountable.
Senator Reed supports real reform, but in order to push back against Wall Street, he needs to hear from more than just Wall Street lobbyists. He needs to hear the real Rhode Island story -- from YOU! The banks have focused some of their most hostile attacks on defeating a key provision, the Consumer Financial Protection Agency. And they may just have the clout to kill it if we don’t push back. That’s why we are asking you to:
Call Senator Reed toll free in Washington at 1-866-544-7573, tell him why you want consumers protected and the banks held accountable, and to keep fighting for real financial reform!
Real reform will protect working families and small businesses by reining in the greedy, reckless behavior of big banks on Wall Street. Reform will crack down on the abuses committed by credit card companies and the mortgage lending industry. Reform will hold Wall Street accountable and prevent another financial crisis and more bailouts.
