– Last night, just before 7 p.m. Eastern Time, the House passed Wall Street reform by a vote of 237 to 192.
This is a huge victory for our movement — and all American consumers. Now, there’s just one hurdle left before this historic bill can be signed into law.
It must be passed by the Senate — a vote likely to come right after the July 4th congressional recess.
Protecting consumers and holding the big banks accountable is a key piece of the change that all of us fought for in 2008. It’s up to us to bring it across the finish line — making sure every champion in the Senate knows that we’re standing with them, and that those in opposition know that Americans are demanding reform.
Can you take a moment now to write to your senators?
Thanks for making it possible,
Mitch
