Senate to Vote on Financial Reform Today!

Today at 5:00pm EST, the U.S. Senate will hold a roll call vote to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to S. 3217 (Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2010).

Democrats and Republicans have been attempting to reach a compromise on the bill, which contains new provisions and regulations on financial industries ranging from Wall Street trading to payday loans.

Democrats have grown tired of attempting to reach a compromise and are trying to push the legislation through, despite the fact that the all-powerful Consumer Financial Protection Bureau it would create will have near-limitless power to eliminate financial services.

American consumers should have the power to control their own financial destiny – not bureaucrats with an agenda.

We need to let the Senate know that the financial reform bill goes too far.
