You know what our economy doesn’t need right now?

A big corporate merger that would make our financial system less stable,
reduce competition, and increase fees and credit costs for American
families.

I’m talking about the recently proposed merger of two credit card giants,
Capital One and Discover.

[ [link removed] ]This Wall Street deal is dangerous. It would harm working people. And
I’m calling on regulators to block it immediately. Add your name if you
agree, and say you’re in this fight for a more competitive economy that
works for families, not giant corporations.

All over our economy, we see the painful consequences of corporate giants
being allowed to gobble up other corporate giants.

From the airline industry to grocery stores to agribusinesses to Big Tech
to Ticketmaster, a smaller number of giants have gained more and more
power, and they’ve used that power to stomp on workers and consumers.

Once they control a bigger piece of the pie, they can control things like
pricing — without any fear that their customers would go across the street
for a cheaper price — because they own both sides of the street. The fewer
firms in an industry, the easier it is for them to collude and fix prices.

Why did we end up here? Here’s a big reason: for decades, regulators took
their hands off the wheel and allowed corporate concentration to reach
extreme heights.

I’ve introduced legislation to help stomp out rampant corporate
consolidation.

And I’ve called on federal agencies to use all their tools to challenge
big, harmful corporate mergers — mergers that can lead to lower wages,
higher prices, worse service, and a less competitive economy.

But I can’t get this done all by myself — we fight side by side as a
grassroots movement.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name if you agree: We need to increase competition in our
economy so small businesses, workers, and consumers can have a fighting
chance — not just the big guys.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
