Sign this petition from Americans for Financial Reform, a project of The Leadership Conference Education Fund, to tell your senators to confirm Richard Cordray as the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
President Obama has renominated Richard Cordray to be the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), an agency created after the financial crisis of 2008 to bring basic standards of fairness and transparency to the world of credit cards, student loans, home loans, auto loans, checking accounts, and debt collection, among other financial products and practices.
Richard Cordray is a stalwart advocate for consumers and an extremely qualified choice to head the CFPB. On March 19, the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs approved (12-10) Cordray’s confirmation; now the full Senate must vote on the nomination.
But obstruction in the Senate continues, and consumers are paying for it. Forty-three senators are determined to prevent Cordray’s confirmation so that they can undermine the CFPB, and the Obama administration. As Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D. Mass., pointed out, no other agency has been threatened like this, and consumers cannot afford it.
It’s enough already. Consumers are depending on every senator to support a strong CFPB and confirm Cordray as its director. The CFPB has already begun to do its job by listening to consumers and protecting them from the bad actors in financial marketplaces. With your help, we can urge the Senate to do its job and confirm Cordray as the bureau’s director.
