We need a watchdog for big banks

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is all about fairness for working families. It's the watchdog against predatory and abusive practices by financial institutions. And believe you me, we need a strong watchdog, as we've all seen all too clearly.

Please sign my petition today: Tell Senator Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans to move quickly to an up-or-down vote of Richard Cordray as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Thanks,

Senator Jeff Merkley
