solution that will protect American consumers, and we’re working hard to ensure it becomes law. Please support this effort by visiting aba.com/takeaction and urging your lawmakers to cosponsor the bill today. Members of Congress in both parties have also come together in recent days on housing reform legislation, as well as bills that would make it easier for banks to access Federal Home Loan Bank resources to help fund community development projects, increase asset thresholds to make it easier for banks to qualify for an 18-month exam cycle, and crack down on credit repair scams. I say it often: The intermediation of capital, improving access to housing, and protecting Americans from growing threats like fraud and scams aren’t Democratic or Republican issues. They’re American issues. At ABA, our longstanding approach to advocacy has always been — and will remain — militantly bipartisan, and throughout much of our nation’s history, banking issues remained above the political fray. I don’t know if we can ever return to that, but we will continue to work with anyone in Washington — regardless of party — who appreciates the critical role America’s banks play in the country and shares our view that all Americans benefit from a clear, consistent bank policy environment that promotes economic growth and prosperity for all.
