Reform Wall Street
Learning from the past, Congress and/or the President must strongly reform financial institutions to protect investors and the public. Let's call on President Obama to take whatever executive action he can take and push Congress to pass the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act H.R. 4173 (111th) as a first step now!
Why is this important?
Following the crash of 1929, Wall Street faced reforms that addressed the excesses of stockbrokers and banks. When those regulations expired or were weakened leading us to the latest economic meltdown with financial institutions looking after their own profits at the expense of their clients and the American public in general, our government has yet to respond by taking strong measures to regulate those interests and this must be changed. Let's call on President Obama to take whatever executive actions he can muster and push Congress to pass the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act H.R. 4173 (111th) as a first step now.
