Watch the video and share it with your friends!

For the last two years, we've gotten the same old song and dance from Wall Street. And now armies of lobbyists are spending millions to kill financial reform in Congress.

After losing so much to Wall Street's risky excess, American seniors are depending on us to stop them.

Pass our new video on to your friends and family, and urge them to join our fight to change the Senate's tune and pass financial reforms!

Dear friend,

I just watched this new video from AARP about Wall Street's excesses -- click on the link below to check it out:

When you finish watching, take action to help urge Congress to stand up to the army of banking lobbyists trying to kill reform.

For the last two years, we've gotten the same old song and dance from Wall Street.

We pay their debt. They pay themselves huge bonuses. We struggle to make ends meet. They spend millions to kill the financial reforms that would help American seniors.

But here's the worst part: Right now our senators are starting to waver as an army of banking lobbyists urges them to water down the financial reforms currently before Congress.

Well I say enough's enough -- and that's why I'm hoping you'll watch this funny (but hard-hitting) new video and join me in urging the Senate to change their tune and pass the reforms we need.

Thank you for standing strong against Wall Street's excesses. With the help of people like you, I know we can secure the reforms that America's seniors urgently need.
