Dear friend,

Todd Zywicki, Executive Director of the Law & Economics Center at George Mason University, has been named Chairman of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) newly formed “Taskforce on Federal Consumer Financial Law." Zywicki's appointment to this position poses a real danger to consumers. 

Tell the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau: Remove Todd Zywicki Immediately! 

Zywicki is not an advocate for common consumers, but for corporations. He does not believe the CFPB should assist consumers when we are wronged by financial institutions like credit card companies and banks. He also has zero sympathy for the families who lost their homes to foreclosure during the financial crisis, stating that borrowers "were not victims" of the banks. 

With the Bureau's new task force being charged with examining regulatory frameworks and laws that are supposed to protect workers' hard-earned incomes and keep families in their homes, Zywicki's track-record makes him clearly unqualified for the position. The Bureau's decision to trust the leadership of a Koch shill suggests it is severely out of touch with how to protect consumers.

The public deserves better. Demand that the Bureau put people over corporate profit by removing Zywicki from the new task force immediately!

In solidarity,
Samantha Parsons
