Statement on President Obama’s Signing of Wall Street Reform Legislation

DNC Youth Council Statement on President Obama’s Signing of Wall Street Reform Legislation
Washington, DC – Today, President Obama held a signing ceremony for the recently-passed Wall Street reform legislation. Following that ceremony, the DNC Youth Council issued the following statement:
“Wall Street reform is a victory for every young American who has struggled with buying a home and credit card debt, and whose savings were impacted by the financial crisis. Wall Street reform will end abusive lending practices, bring Wall Street’s financial dealings into the light and under regulation, guarantee that American taxpayers are never again left holding the bag for big banks’ risky trades, and secure the foundation for stable economic growth. These are critical common-sense reforms that will benefit young Americans, but nonetheless, the vast majority of Republicans in Congress voted against them. Now, Republicans are calling for the repeal of this vital legislation. That’s why, this year, it is so important that young people all across America support strong Democratic candidates who will stand with the President to overcome Republican obstructionism and continue to move America forward.”
