Petition to Congress:

We the merchants of The United States Will no longer accept unfair interchange rates and fees!

The Credit Card Act of 2009 protects consumers, BUT NOT MERCHANTS, from unfair interchange practices of banks and processors.  Please help protect merchants from unfair interchange practices.  We the signatory's to this petition SUPPORT S 1212 Credit Card Fair fee Act of 2009, A bill to amend antitrust laws to ensure competitive market-based fees for merchants access to electronic payment systems.

We the undersigned hereby petition The Congress of The United States of America to amend the Credit Card Act of 2009.  In it's current state it does provide protection for consumers, BUT NOT MERCHANTS, from unfair credit card fees. 

We demand Congress SUPPORT S 1212 to protect merchants from unfair interchange practices.  We the signatory's to this petition SUPPORT S 1212 Credit Card Fair fee Act of 2009, A bill to amend antitrust laws to ensure competitive market-based fees for merchants access to electronic payment systems.

We respectfully thank you for taking the time to support this bill.  It will result in lower costs of goods and services.  At this time, the merchant has no choice, or say in how much they pay and are forced to pass this additional cost of conducting business onto the consumer.
