Oppose attempts to weaken the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Senate Republicans have given up their fight against consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren.

That's the good news. But the bad news is now they say they’ll oppose any nominee to run the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau unless the agency is watered down first.*

Republicans in the House are fighting the new consumer bureau too, with bills to weaken the agency. It’s time to send a clear message that Americans want to end the financial tricks and traps.

Tell your representative: Oppose attempts to weaken the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Warren recently explained to Jon Stewart on the Daily Show that opponents of Wall Street reform in the House are still attempting to “stick a knife in the ribs” of the new agency.

These enemies of Wall Street reform are working to make the bureau into a weak, ineffective agency without the will or ability to curb the kind of financial abuses that caused the nation’s worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.
