    Enough already - they stole $700 billion last time - so now we're going to weaken regulations that might put some sort of a check to their greedy ways - what and prosecute more $10,000 welfare cheaters with starving children. Stop working only for the super rich who have gotten theirs through abuse of taxpayers and laxity of regulators The country can't afford another 2008 contrived collapse.

    We have already lost portions of the Dodd-Frank Act. Please oppose this new attempt to chip away at it. This bill is nothing to do with job creation nor with small business -- it is everything to do with removing what little protection we have against another economic disaster provoked by an out-of-control financial industry.

    One purpose of Dodd Frank was to prevent overly leveraged derivatives and another September 18th, 2008. It is pillage of American taxpayers to consider anything less.

    Combined with the current government indifference to abusive and predatory behavior throughout the financial sector, these bills are more invitations to another lost decade for many.

    Greetings Representative Lieu: I am glad that you were elected to replace Representative Waxman, and, more importantly, to represent me and District 33. I want to inform you of the importance that I, as a constituent and as a citizen, place on legislation that regulates private banks, financial firms, and investment funds in accordance with public purpose. I believe that it is of paramount importance to continue addressing the unacceptable risk inherent in the systemically complex and opaque composition of the financial markets, of which our banking and financial institutions are a part. Ensuring the full enactment of the Dodd-Frank legislation is not enough to do this; more work toward reforming our banking and financial systems in accordance with Equity and Stability is necessary, if to avoid another catastrophe from emerging and do more harm to our economy -- here, in Southern California, as well as the nation. However, allowing the small number of effective reforms and regulations to be clawed back by Wall Street would be imprudent folly of the most impolitic. This message is not the place to burden you or your staff with a litany of descriptions or prescriptions on this matter. However, I do encourage you to weigh the recommendations of Occupy the SEC, as well as the incoming Chief Economist for the Minority party in the Senate Budget Committee, Dr. Stephanie Kelton. With this message I mean only to strongly entreat that you vote against HR 37. I will be paying attention to your voting in the 114th Congress. I hope that it will make me proud to have voted for you. Thank you for your service, David Graham Dixon Redondo Beach, CA
