Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Carl Levin (D-MI) just introduced a bold new proposal to ban big banks from gambling with our money. It's ridiculous this isn't illegal already, but without public support the laws might not even get changed.

Will you help us show this proposal has grassroots support by signing this petition?

PETITION TO THE SENATE: "The big Wall Street banks gambled away our money on a reckless housing bubble and then insisted we spend more money bailing them out. We need you to support the Merkley-Levin proposal to end this risky gambling and other conflicts of interest."

Senators are getting tons of pressure from the big banks to oppose this proposal. We need to show them ordinary people will get their back. Can you add your name on the right? Then, we'll give you the number to call your senator.

WATCH: Sen. Merkley reads our petition on the Senate floor!
