Protect our courts and the CFPB

To: Rep. Pressley

From: A verified voter in Jamaica Plain, MA

April 1

I’m outraged by Congressional Republicans’ attacks on the courts. I want the Congressmember to vote no on H.R.1702 the JUDGES Act, which would allow President Trump to appoint 22 new lifetime federal judges, enabling him to stack courts with loyalists. I want the Congressmember to vote no on H.R.1789 the PEPPER Act, which would dramatically expand executive power by allowing officials to move cases against them from state to federal courts. And I want the Congressmember to vote no on H.R.1526 the NORRA Act, which would severely restrict federal judges' ability to issue nationwide injunctions against unconstitutional executive actions. Protect our courts! Also, I’m furious that the Senate voted this week to raise overdraft fees for American consumers. I want the Representative to oppose this resolution—S.J. Res. 18—when it comes up for a vote in the House. Overturning the CFPB’s rule limiting overdraft fees to five dollars is exactly the OPPOSITE of what Congress should be doing. This rule saves consumers five billion annually and protects people like me from unreasonable and unpredictable banking fees. It needs to stay. Thanks.
