Tell your senators to support the Brown-Kaufman SAFE Banking Act to cap size, leverage of big banks

[flpoljunkie]

The Brown-Kaufman SAFE banking act would greatly strengthen the Dodd bill by capping the size and leverage of our biggest banks. Tell your senators this amendment deserves and “up or down vote” in the Senate.

The Brown-Kaufman act is our best near-term chance to reduce the size of Wall Street megabanks that are too big to fail and that threaten our economy.
