Ann —
While millions of Americans are barely getting by, your House of Representatives just passed a bill written and paid for by Big Banks. It puts you back on the hook for the dangerous “derivatives trading” that crashed our entire economy just 5 years ago.
Yesterday, Republicans and Democrats voted together to dismantle rules put in place in 2010 to prevent another economic meltdown and more taxpayer bailouts. 70 of the 85 lines in the new bill were literally written by lobbyists for Citigroup, a multinational megabank that helped bring the economy to its knees in 2008 and forced us to give them billions in bailouts.
This much is clear: Wall Street runs both major parties, and they’ll run our country into the ground if we let them. The American Anti-Corruption Act would make this whole mess completely illegal, so it’s time to change how we think about politics. It’s no longer about Republican vs. Democrat — It’s about Corrupt vs. Anti-Corrupt. 

Will you pledge to put aside party politics and create a powerful cross-partisan movement behind the American Anti-Corruption Act?
When you look at the facts, it’s hard to ignore the harsh reality. This video perfectly explains how corrupt things really are:

If we can get millions of people to get off the hamster wheel of partisan warfare, stop fighting each other and start fighting corruption, we can win.
Take a minute. Follow the link. Enlist your friends, your family, everyone who has had it with the insanity in Washington.
