The biggest financial institutions have made billions wringing every penny they can from their customers, too often using tricks, traps, and deception. So when we reformed Wall Street after the financial crisis, a centerpiece was creating the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stand up for ordinary Americans and hold the big banks accountable. Guess what? The big banks dont like it. Now the CFPB is in danger. Join me in telling Wall Street and the Republican Congress that were going to defend the CFPB! From the very beginning, Wall Street made clear they didnt want anybody holding them accountable or stopping their ability to exploit their customers. Republicans in Congress have responded by repeatedly trying to limit the CFPBs authority, slash its budget, paralyze its ability to act, or simply abolish it. Now, with Republicans in charge of both the House and the Senate, the CFPB is in danger. Let’s show Congress that the American people support the CFPB’s mission. Sign our petition and add your name to the fight! The CFPB is responsible for demanding fair play on everything from student loans to mortgages to subprime loans, credit card policies, and payday loans, and it’s a big deal for middle class families. Lets protect the CFPB so it can protect us. Thanks for joining me. Jeff Paid for by Jeff Merkley for Oregon.
