Act Now for a Strong Consumer Financial Protection Agency (CFPA)!
UPDATE:
Thanks to those of you who contacted your representatives about the "Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act!" Your actions helped! On Friday December 11th the House of Representatives passed the legislation and despite intense lobbying from banks, many important provisions were preserved including the Consumer Financial Protection Agency (CFPA).
We are now one step closer to establishing true accountability that would protect consumers from junk fees that strip away wealth. Now the bill goes to the Senate. It is imperative that we close some of the loopholes and exemptions that exist in the House Bill, including jurisdiction over the Community Reinvestment Act and auto dealers. As the bill moves through the Senate we will once again be reaching out to New Yorkers to ask our Senators for a strong bill. Visit Americans for Financial Reform (www.ourfinancialsecurity.org), for more information on how the bill could be strengthened to prevent future economic crises.
