The soft corruption of Washington is on full display this week. At the top of Republicans’ priority list? Not gun control. Not Dreamers. But weakening banking industry regulations designed to protect our economy. It’s unfathomable.

To make sure Wall Street’s recklessness and greed never harmed American families again, Congress and President Obama came together in 2010 to pass regulations on the biggest, wealthiest banks to help prevent another taxpayer bailout.

But now, Republicans are planning to vote to roll back those very regulations designed to protect every American – and our entire economy – from another crisis. Why? Because they’re indebted to special interest lobbyists and bending our government to cater to bank donors.

We can’t let this soft corruption go unchecked. And we can’t let Congress get away with putting taxpayers on the hook for the reckless dealings of the financial industry.

I’ll vote no on the dangerous bill being proposed, and I’m counting on you to speak up right away to demand senators keep these commonsense regulations on big banks in place. Let your senators know you’re watching. Show up. Spread the word. Don’t let them get away with it.
