Republicans
put a big and dangerous giveaway to Wall Street in the budget, despite
protests from Sen. Elizabeth Warren and votes against it by many House
Democrats.
The Senate will soon vote on this spending bill. It's up to you and me to convince enough senators to take it out.
The
provision – written by Citibank lobbyists – allows Wall Street banks to
gamble on high-risk derivatives – the exotic instruments that helped
blow up the economy. Worse, they get to pocket any winnings with
taxpayers guaranteeing any losses. They will make ever bigger bets.
And we will be played once more as the saps.
The
link will connect you to one of your senator's offices. Tell the person
who answers that you want the senator to support stripping the Wall
Street gambit out of the budget bill. A vote could happen within the
next few hours, so please make the call now.
Here's a sample message:
I’m a constituent. My name is…
I’m
calling about the giveaway to Wall Street in the funding bill before
the Senate. I want the senator to vote to take out the provision (in
Section 630) that allows big banks to gamble using high-risk
derivatives. Please tell the senator that his constituents want him to
vote against the budget unless this dangerous gift to Wall Street is
removed. I will be following your vote on this.
