Dear friend,
Did you know that in the past year, big banks and financial
firms have spent $500 million to defeat financial reform
legislation -- despite the fact that their current practices
have plunged our country into a huge recession?
Don't get me wrong, there were many reasons for the financial
collapse, but first and foremost was an anything-goes financial
sector with no regulatory moral compass.
Congress is debating legislation that would regulate what
financial firms can do with our money, but with such intense
bank lobbying we might not see any reform that actually protects
the common good of the consumer or investor!
I just sent a letter to four of the largest banks - the ones who
received taxpayer bailout money but are spending millions to
defeat financial reform, and sent a copy to my senators as well.
If we want reform that will actually protect consumers, we all
need to raise our voices.
Will you join me?
