Don't Let Wallstreet Off the Hook!
Breaking news: President Obama just named New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman head of a task force to investigate the wrongdoing of Wall Street banks that caused the financial crisis, but we must continue to send a message to the Department of Justice: don't accept a deal that gives immunity to banks for negligence and malfeasance committed since the crash!
As a result of their reckless greed and abuses, Wall Street banks destroyed the American Dream for countless families, and nearly crippled the American economy. In some cases, corrupt bankers even committed outright fraud as they gambled away the nest eggs of millions of hard-working middle class men and women.
Representative Tammy Baldwin rejected out-of-hand any settlement with these same banks that would give a free pass to those who got rich and caused a huge economic mess while the middle class suffered, but too many other Washington politicians are willing to cut deals that let powerful special interests off the hook and leave middle class families holding the bag.
Take action today: Tell the Department of Justice to hold Wall Street banks accountable for crippling the American Economy!

[Your comment will be added here] In some cases, corrupt bankers even committed outright fraud as they gambled away the nest eggs of millions of hard-working middle class men and women.
Americans have seen too many backroom deals that let powerful special interests off the hook and leave middle class families holding the bill.
We must not accept a solution where banks not only escape accountability for their wrongdoing, but the government agrees never to investigate fraud and abuse.
Please, do not accept a deal that gives immunity to banks for negligence and malfeasance committed since the crash!
Sincerely,
[Your name]
