Grassroots Action Alert
Substitute Amendment 1 to Assembly Bill 447 was recently introduced in the legislature. This bill would create a database of individuals' personal, private financial transactions, exposing them to identity theft. The bill also places arbitrary restrictions on borrowers of short term loans.
This act will eliminate a viable personal and private financial choice for Wisconsin consumers.
Contact your senator and representative today and request that they oppose Assembly Bill 447 on your behalf.
