DODD'S DILEMMA: WHO TO TAKE TO THE BALL? THE PEOPLE OR THE PLUTOCRATS?

Senate Banking Chairman Chris Dodd has proposed a financial reform package that would rein in many Wall Street abuses and create a strong Consumer Financial Protection Agency to make sure fast-talking lenders can no longer rip off consumers and take risks with the economy that could trigger another crisis.

But Dodd just announced he will retire at the end of 2010. What does this mean for reform? A financial industry lobbyist said that Dodd is now free to "dance with the special interests that brought him to the dance in the first place. Us, his loyal donors in the banking community."

Fill Senator Dodd's dance card by sending him a message today! Tell him to make protecting Main Street his legacy -- not dancing with Wall Street.

PETITION LANGUAGE

Senator Dodd, Tell Wall Street You Have a New Dance Partner!

I strongly support your proposal for an independent, stand-alone Consumer Financial Protection Agency.

We urge you to stand up for those of us who have suffered during this Great Recession because of the greed and recklessness of the big banks. Don't let Wall Street water down your bill! Keep the Consumer Financial Protection Agency independent and strong, don’t bury it in an already existing agency with a track record of failing consumers. Cap the size of the big banks so no institution can become too big to fail and restore Glass-Steagall protections against Wall Street gambling.

Make your legacy protecting Main Street, not dancing with Wall Street.
