		<description><![CDATA[Protect your credit union's debit card! Recently, the US Senate approved the Financial Regulatory Reform Bill which included a provision that would mandate price controls on the interchange fees paid by merchants for accepting debit cards. This bill has unintended consequences for credit union members and every consumer with a debit card in his or her wallet.




Contact your federal legislators ASAP and ask them to oppose the Senate-passed interchange provision.

TAKE ACTION:

Send a letter to congress:

Call Legislators:
1-877-223-5275

Please post, watch, and share this video anywhere you see fit to help spread the word on this important issue.
