Hi

If you signed the petition …

Thanks again for signing our petition demanding Wall Street accountability. In the past week, thousands of PCCC members have called Congress — and it’s paying off: we’re winning.

We’ve gotten reports behind the scenes that one Congressman who is trying to water down reform is feeling heavy pressure as a result of the PCCC’s petition signatures, phone calls, and online ads — even convening a conference call with local constituents to “respond” to the PCCC’s campaign.

Can you help our momentum continue by calling Senator Patty Murray and asking them to fight for strong Wall Street reform today? Click here.

News outlets are reporting the tough provisions we’ve been fighting for are likely to make it to the final bill. But the New York Times just reported:

As Congress rushes this week to complete the most far-reaching financial reform plan in decades, the banking industry is mounting an 11th-hour end run.

Industry lobbyists — and sympathetic members of Congress — are pushing for provisions to undercut a central pillar of the legislation, known as the Volcker Rule, which would forbid banks from using their own money to make risky wagers on the market and would force them to sell off hedge funds and private equity units.

Sen. Murray is going to be a key vote. Lobbyists want her to kill provisions that keep Wall Street from gambling away your bank deposits on risky schemes.

Can you call her and insist on strong Wall Street reform this week? Just click here.

Already thousands of people have called. Please add your voice today.

Thanks for being a bold progressive,

— Aaron Swartz, Adam Green, Stephanie Taylor, Shaunna Thomas, and the PCCC team
