This is the PhillyGOP 5th
Ward's weekly request for you to contact your political reps and social/news
media on matters of civic importance.
Dear ________________,
"Bank regulators have used supervisory scrutiny and other influence over regulated banks to direct or otherwise encourage politicized or unlawful debanking activities. “Operation Chokepoint,” for example, was a well-documented and systemic means by which Federal regulators pushed banks to minimize their involvement with individuals and companies engaged in lawful activities and industries disfavored by regulators based on factors other than individualized, objective, risk-based standards. As a result, individuals, their businesses, and their families have been subjected to debanking on the basis of their political affiliations, religious beliefs or lawful business activities, and have suffered frozen payrolls, debt and crushing interest, and other significant harms to their livelihoods, reputations, and financial well-being. Such practices are incompatible with a free society and the principle that the provision of banking services should be based on material, measurable, and justifiable risks. Such practices, when wielded to discriminate against customers and businesses in credit transactions due to their religion, are also unlawful under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (15 U.S.C. 1691 et seq.). They further undermine public trust in banking institutions and their regulators, discriminate against political beliefs and free expression of those beliefs, and weaponize a politicized regulatory state."
It's time to put a stop to "debanking". Please ratify President Trump's EO
"Guaranteeing Fair Banking For All Americans" with strong
legislation,

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Public safety is the most important role of government, which is why I strongly
support President Trump's July 24, 2025 Mental Health Executive Order “Ending
Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets”. https://www.whitehouse.gov/ In Philadelphia, as well as in many cities and towns across the country, local government officials have taken a “soft on crime” approach to law enforcement, as well as abandoned our mentally disabled and/or drug addicted residents to live on the streets. As a result, many of our communities are plagued with criminals, panhandlers, and the homeless.
Many mentally-disabled people need mandatory long-term or even life-time care in
secure facilities. President Trump’s Executive Order addresses that issue. We
also want the federal government to ensure that any medications and treatments
prescribed for the mentally disabled have been thoroughly tested for safety and
effectiveness. Furthermore, it is vital that we address the root causes of our
mental health crisis, including toxic exposures. See https:// Our local police, district attorneys, and state attorneys general should ensure the safety of our communities or else face prosecution by the Department of Justice (DOJ). Most importantly, the US Congress, as well as state and local legislative bodies, should strengthen our laws in order to support President Trump’s Executive Order. We need to finally fix these systemic government failures to protect the public’s health and safety. Thank you for your attention to this matter. (your name, address, email/cell/phone is optional)
Democratic representatives in the state House should support, and Gov. Josh Shapiro should sign, the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act. The Republican-controlled state Senate has already passed it with bipartisan support, but House Democrats seem to be causing some delays. It’s past time to protect our girls and women. In fact, this violation of girls’ and women’s rights should never have happened. Men are, on average, bigger (15%-20%) and stronger (33%) than women. Therefore, pitting males against females is a direct threat to women’s health and well-being. Furthermore, allowing the presence of naked males (or females) in the locker rooms and showers of the opposite sex is a crime. It’s called “indecent exposure.” Women have already suffered enough physical, emotional, and legal injuries, plus lost awards and grants, due to this misplaced empathy for males who want to identify as females. And to that point, many support a separate category for transgender athletes. So why continue to allow girls’ and women’s rights to be so unfairly and unnecessarily violated? Pass the bill now. (your name, address, email/cell/phone is optional) ______________________________________________ Background: This Pennsylvania State House bill seeks to protect females by prohibiting males from competing in female sports. The Bill has already passed the PA State Senate (SB 9), but has been delayed in the PA State House. Learn more below:
