Tell Congress to create a Consumer Financial Protection Agency

How important is it that Congress creates a Consumer Financial Protection Agency?

Important enough that killing the proposal is the new number one priority on Wall Street. But we have something that they don’t: a vote.

Rep. Barney Frank, Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, emphasized the importance of mobilizing voter power in this recent interview with Rachel Maddow:

“If every one of [your viewers] calls his and her US Representatives and Senator and says ‘Don’t you dare come home without a consumer [protection] agency at the end of the year,’ Then we’re gonna win.”

Let’s prove him right. Call or e-mail your elected officials today, and tell them that we need a strong and effective Consumer Financial Protection Agency.
