Check this out. I just got this e-mail from an activist group I belong to: F*cking Dodd: There have been backroom deals - last night Dodd put in a last-minute, very bad amendment (its number is #4110) to wipes out no bailouts for derivatives reform. It's bad, but by our count it is possible to defeat it with a combination of Dem and Republicans. We have 60 minutes and counting to make calls--please call! Say that you oppose stripping good derivatives, oppose Dodd's #4110 and ASK THEM TO FILIBUSTER if they have to. You can also get numbers in the list below. Two calls is hugely helpful. Four is even better if you can do it. The derivatives bill that Dodd is trying to kill is the part that Joseph Stiglitz called the best part of the ENTIRE reform package--for me, its the last single strongest thing in the bill, the only thing that would really require a change in the way the biggest banks operate, and stops subsidies for toxic bets. To learn more about where your Senator now stands, go here. Other groups are helping too, AFR sent a letter of opposition last night. Thanks and all the best.
