Save My Free Checking
Save My Free Checking's website www.savemyfreechecking.com is loaded with information about the Interchange Fee legislation that is scheduled to take effect this July. This legislation will virtually be the end of free checking accounts as we know them - and love them. We would like you to contact Senator Mark Kirk and your Congressman and ask them to co-sponsor the proposed Interchange Delay Legislation.
The proposed new legislation will allow lawmakers to take the time to study the situation and see some of the unintended consequences -- such as the end of free checking.
Save My Free Checking.com was developed by the Michigan Credit Union League, thus all the references to Michigan in their Frequently Asked Questions. Most of their Take Action links are connected directly to Michigan legislators. You can use the same easy to send email to your Illinois member of congress (or find out who your Congressman is) by clicking on this link http://capwiz.com/cuna/home/ or by following the instructions for non-Michigan residents.
You can also call your Congressman at 877-422-3525 or Senator Kirk at 202-224-2854 to ask them to co-sponsor the proposed Interchange Delay Legislation. You probably won't talk to them personally but a capable member of their staff who will pass your concerns along. It only takes a few minutes to call or email.
Thank you for your interest, your time and your involvement.
