Tony --

This morning, a group of public servants showed up to work at a brand-new agency created to protect everyday Americans from the abuses of Wall Street.

They're the folks of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and they'll be the cops on the beat protecting consumers from predatory credit card and mortgage lenders, bait-and-switch creditors, and anyone trying to make a quick buck by deceiving or manipulating Americans who are just trying to secure their financial future.

Many Americans don't know it, but this bureau is just one part of a sweeping Wall Street reform law -- the most pro-consumer and pro-taxpayer reform of our financial system since the Great Depression -- that President Obama signed a year ago today.

Watch this video to get a quick overview of the law, and a briefing on the special interests trying to undermine it:

Whether you watch the video or not, please share this email with someone.

It's important that everyone knows what this law means for all of us. Simpler mortgages. Clearer credit card rates, fees, and rules. Fairer loan terms. It's based on the simple idea that if you make sure that people get clear information, they'll make the financial decisions that work best for them.

And we can all rest a little easier knowing that our common financial future is more protected from the irresponsibility of a few. This law made structural reforms to ensure that the financial crisis we experienced in 2008 never happens again and that taxpayers aren't on the hook to pay for Wall Street's risky bets.

It's up to you to make sure more people know about this. Most Americans don't have all the details on how this law is working for them, and it's our job to change that.

Take a look, and be sure to pass this one on:

Amazingly, each and every Presidential candidate on the other side opposes this law.

And the same opposition that tried to block it more than a year ago is still alive and well.

Right now, lobbyists are at work trying to weaken the tough regulations this law imposes.

That's no accident -- its provisions are designed to rein in the Wall Street, credit card, and mortgage banking interests these people represent.

As we know, there aren't a whole lot of high-powered lobbyists in Washington looking out for the common good of everyday families.

That's exactly why this law is necessary, and why our growing organization in all 50 states is so important. It's up to us to make sure our friends and neighbors know about it. Watch our video about Wall Street reform today -- and then pass it on:

Dear Tony,

I want you to know that just moments ago I officially announced on “Face to Face” that I am a candidate for Congress in Southern Nevada. You have always stood with me and now as we take the next step to finish the work we started together, I will need your continued support.

We worked so hard; we did so much; and we came so close. We can’t quit now when so many people are still hurting. In fact, practically every day I get a phone call or just run into someone who was either helped by our office or is in need of help. These are the people who push me to keep fighting. This election isn’t about me; it’s about them.

Although the district lines have not been finalized, that does not matter. I am no stranger to people all across Southern Nevada, having represented them either directly or indirectly in the Legislature and in Congress. We must start now getting our message out and fighting back against the Republicans who instead of creating jobs have attacked seniors, working families, women, and the most vulnerable among us. They have pursued an extreme agenda that would end Medicare as we know it and cut Social Security benefits in order to continue giving tax breaks to Big Oil and millionaires.

In the months ahead we will be working hard on a grassroots level to organize our supporters as we move towards 2012, and I truly cannot do it without you.

As always, THANK YOU for all you have done and for all I know we will continue to do together. Please check out my new web site at dinatitus.com and follow me on Twitter @dinatitus.

Sincerely,
