Stand with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
Date: Tue, March 12, 2013
Once again a group of Senators has lined up against consumer protection. They want to cut the CFPB's budget and undermine its authority and effectiveness. So far, they have refused to vote to confirm (or reject) CFPB Director Richard Cordray. Let the CFPB do its job! That’s the message we need to send to Congress and we need your help to deliver it now.

Used car buyers’ protections veering in the wrong direction
Date: Mon, February 11, 2013
Don't let the FTC weaken the Used Car Rule. Please let the FTC know that consumers do not want the Used Car Rule watered down. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued a proposal to update the Used Car Rule. But the proposed rules pose some real problems for consumers.
