Jason --The Senate is ready to cast a critical vote on Wall Street reform today. And reports from Capitol Hill indicate that things could go either way.
Earlier this month, your senator -- Richard Burr -- voted repeatedly with each and every other Republican to block Wall Street reform from even coming to debate.
But our grassroots pressure paid off -- and the Republicans caved. If there's a lesson to learn from that, it's that we simply can't let up now -- not until the bill is passed.
Let's make sure Sen. Burr hears the message loud and clear: Rein in Wall Street.
Take two minutes to make a call -- and then don't forget to let us know how it went. Please call Sen. Burr at (202) 224-3154.
The House has already passed reform. And today's Senate vote is one of the last hurdles to landing a bill on President Obama's desk.
But over the last two weeks we've seen the big banks' lobbyists aren't ready to give in yet. They've been working hard to slip loopholes and exemptions into the final bill.
So far, with your help, we've been able to keep Wall Street reform strong -- with powerful protections for consumers and tough provisions that would rein in the big banks.
But, with the vote today, the lobbyists are going into overdrive. They know if we can get senators like Richard Burr to vote for strong reform, they have no chance of stopping this legislation from becoming law.
Help us put the pressure on Sen. Burr today by calling in your support for the bill at (202) 224-3154.
Then make sure you let us know how it went:
