Lucas,
sign the petition from CREDO and Daily Kos: Tell Senate Democrats not to
sabotage Wall Street regulation.
A handful of Senate Democrats are teaming up with Republicans on legislation to
undermine Wall Street cops and sabotage financial regulation. It would drown new
rules in red tape, give politicians more freedom to pressure independent
regulators, and even potentially create a commission of political appointees
to target and repeal common-sense rules.
Thankfully, Sen. Elizabeth Warren is fighting back. We need to show that
we stand with her, and not with Senate Democrats who want to help Wall
Street at our expense.
Stand with Sen. Warren: Tell Senate Democrats not to sabotage Wall Street cops.
Strong regulators are essential to make sure America stays strong and
healthy. They make sure markets are fair, protect our air and our water,
and ensure that we’re not taken advantage of by giant corporations
or gouged by Wall Street banks.
We need to reform and strengthen our regulators and make sure they are
always working for us, not tie up their hands.
The proposed legislation is so extreme, even Wall-Street-friendly regulators
like Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Mary Jo White
oppose it.
Supporters still need
two more Democrats to endorse this package in order to avoid it being blocked
on the senate floor. We need to make sure that doesn’t happen.
Sign the petition.
Keep fighting,
