From Funny or Die.com, Ron Howard directs some SNL favorites (and Jim Carrey) in a presidential reunion to urge Barack Obama to enact a consumer protection regulations. From MainStreetBrigade.org:

The greedy and reckless behavior of big banks on Wall Street, credit card companies, mortgage lenders and irresponsible consumers just caused a financial crisis that cost Americans millions of lost jobs, and billions in tax-payer funded bailouts and lost retirement savings.

Today, after raking in our tax dollars in bailout money, the big banks are back to business as usual, spending hundreds of millions to pay lobbyists and advertising agencies to fight against reforms that would protect us from their abuses in the future.

You can make your voice heard. Call your representatives, send them an email, or sign this petition to let them know that they need to protect us, not the financial industry.
