WHAT'S BROKEN
Our entire financial system is broken. Banks and other financial institutions have worked overtime to repeal laws and regulations that were in place to protect the American people and the American economy. Now they are spending millions in Washington to defeat common-sense proposals that would make our economy stronger and more secure. The current financial system has drained the American people of hard-earned money and sent our economy to the brink of collapse.
Our democracy is broken. Wall Street has hijacked our democracy, spending millions and millions each year on lobbying to advance their private interests at the cost of the public’s interest. We need our elected officials from both parties to say “No” to money being handed out by Wall Street. Our elected officials face a “Which Side Are You On Moment.” Are they going to continue to take their orders from the folks on Wall Street, or are they going to stand with the American people and fight for financial reform now. Our message to our elected officials is “Stand With Us.”
It is time to come together. This is not a Democratic or Republican issue. Financial Reform that protects people and our economy is an American issue. We must come together to ensure our financial system is remade to benefit the common good.
