Reform, not repeal, needed to end burden on Americans living abroad
Katie Solon, Chair of Democrats Abroad, said:
“Senator Paul’s attempts to gut FATCA, led by the ‘Citizens United’ legal team which unleashed millions of dollars of unregulated corporate campaign donations into American elections, will not deliver the urgent and critical changes to the law that are needed by Americans living abroad. Efforts to overturn this legislation through years-long legal action, successful or not, will result in more families losing their bank accounts and having their mortgage applications refused by banks.
