Last week, Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Wrong Choice Act, a bill that would put the needs of Wall Street above hardworking Americans. The Wrong Choice Act advances President Trump’s efforts to dismantle consumer protections for seniors, service members and people saving for their retirement; endanger market stability; and undercut financial regulators’ ability to curb threats to the economy. Republicans are effectively helping out those who need it least, undoing critical safeguards, and setting the foundation for another Great Recession.

To date, 222,000 individuals signed a petition and over 300 groups and experts submitted letters opposing all or part of the Wrong Choice Act, including:
