Hunter --

This morning, a group of public servants showed up to work
at a brand-new agency created to protect everyday Americans
from the abuses of Wall Street. 
 
They're the folks of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 
and they'll be the cops on the beat protecting consumers from 
predatory credit card and mortgage lenders, bait-and-switch 
creditors, and anyone trying to make a quick buck by deceiving
or manipulating Americans who are just trying to secure their 
financial future.

Many Americans don't know it, but this bureau is just one part 
of a sweeping Wall Street reform law -- the most pro-consumer 
and pro-taxpayer reform of our financial system since the Great 
Depression -- that President Obama signed a year ago today.

Watch this video to get a quick overview of the law, and a briefing 
on the special interests trying to undermine it:

Whether you watch the video or not, please share this email with
 someone.

It's important that everyone knows what this law means for all of 
us. Simpler mortgages. Clearer credit card rates, fees, and rules. 
Fairer loan terms. It's based on the simple idea that if you make 
sure that people get clear information, they'll make the financial 
decisions that work best for them.

And we can all rest a little easier knowing that our common 
financial future is more protected from the irresponsibility of a 
few. This law made structural reforms to ensure that the financial 
crisis we experienced in 2008 never happens again and that 
taxpayers aren't on the hook to pay for Wall Street's risky bets.

It's up to you to make sure more people know about this. Most 
Americans don't have all the details on how this law is working 
for them, and it's our job to change that.

Take a look, and be sure to pass this one on:

Amazingly, each and every Presidential candidate on the other 
side opposes this law.

And the same opposition that tried to block it more than a year 
ago is still alive and well.
 
Right now, lobbyists are at work trying to weaken the tough 
regulations this law imposes.

That's no accident -- its provisions are designed to rein in the 
Wall Street, credit card, and mortgage banking interests these 
people represent.
 
As we know, there aren't a whole lot of high-powered lobbyists 
in Washington looking out for the common good of everyday 
families.  
 
That's exactly why this law is necessary, and why our growing
organization in all 50 states is so important. It's up to us to make 
sure our friends and neighbors know about it. Watch our video 
about Wall Street reform today -- and then pass it on:
