Dear Arnold,

Wall Street lobbyists are trying to water down financial reform.

Make sure Rep. Jeb Hensarling protects you, not special interests.

The conference committee on financial reform is meeting this week to work out final details on legislation you worked so hard to get passed in the House and Senate.

But special interests are trying to turn our hard-won victory into a last-minute defeat.

Your representative, Rep. Jeb Hensarling, is on the conference committee and you'd better believe that the special interests are flooding the office with cries to water down reform.

Don't wait. Tell Rep. Hensarling to pass legislation that closes the loopholes that have robbed millions of their financial security.

Lobbyists are working harder than ever to protect the bonuses and sweetheart deals that some Wall Street banks enjoy while millions of Americans lose their jobs and savings.

American seniors and their supporters have lost too much from the reckless behavior of the "too big to fail" financial institutions that stoked the fire of economic collapse.

Help make sure Rep. Jeb Hensarling hears why they must stand up for Americans who play by the rules as the conference committee starts their debate on financial reform.

Thank your for protecting the financial security of ordinary Americans. Working together, we can help prevent another financial crisis.

Sincerely,

Barry Jackson
Senior Manager, Grassroots
