_ As Senators prepare to return to Harrisburg for the final days of the legislative session, the payday lenders are ramping up their aggressive push to legalize 300% APR loans in Pennsylvania.   Senators need to hear from you – this is not acceptable. 

In their aggressive push, payday lenders are willing to say anything to disguise the predatory terms of the product they seek to legalize.  They’re claiming legalizing 300% interest rate loans is “consumer protection.”  Really?  Let your Senators know that you see right through the payday lenders’ smoke and mirrors, and they should too.

Play this to see the truth behind payday lenders' outrageous claims:

_Play it. Learn the truth.  Call your Senator today.  Tell your friends.  Have them call too.  Act today, before your Senator returns to Harrisburg, where the big payday lenders will circle their office day in and day out.  

 Let them know that voters at home think 300% interest rates are wrong.  Plain and simple.  No amount of smoke or mirrors can hide that fact.
