To: The United States Senate and President Donald Trump
Tell the Senate: Protect the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
Tell the Senate: Don't sell our families out to Wall Street crooks and payday predators. Vote NO on the CHOICE Act.
Why is this important?
The House already passed the Wrong CHOICE Act. Now it heads to the Senate.
After the big banks crashed the economy, people took action and won reforms to rein in the abuses of Wall Street. A big part of that was establishing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
The CFPB is the first federal financial watchdog whose entire job is making sure Wall Street can't get away with the tricks and traps that bleed millions out of our pockets. The Bureau has recovered $12 BILLION dollars in ill-gotten gains for over 27 million people ripped off by the predatory financial industry.
But here's the thing. Republicans love the campaign donations they get from Wall Street bankers, payday lenders, and hedge fund managers. They are itching to destroy the CFPB and let Wall Street go wild. That's why they've introduced an Orwellian named "CHOICE Act" that would gut the CFPB and give Wall Street more power to gamble with our economy.
We know full well this bill is the WRONG CHOICE for our families. It just passed the House. Now it heads to the Senate.
Sign this petition to send a message to the US Senate: You work for us, not Wall Street. We need our government to do more to rein in predatory lenders and Wall Street bankers, not give them a free pass to crash the economy again.
