I have a feeling derivatives might not need reform. Too late. I'll deal with them my way. Cascading contract defaults will reduce exposure, not that it's gonna be very pretty. -NG-

Pretty impressive.... ANWF winning -- Dodd backs down! We're Calling: Filibuster Amazing Big Update: Dodd is withdrawing his manager's amendment! The calls and everyone's efforts made it happen. I think he thought no one was watching, but we were, you were! Thank you for making that happen. We're CALLING FOR A FILIBUSTER of any amendment that kills Lincoln, that kills structural reform measures. (Phone #'s also below). Her language on derivatives reform is the only structural reform measure we have left. It's not just another amendment. Without it, Congress will be passing the weakest financial reform bill it can be. Debate is happening now and Senators are out to kill Lincoln's Section 716 too. Two calls is hugely helpful. Four is even better if you can do it. That way, they'll know we're watching. David Dayen/FDL and Bankster USA and Bob Fertik are all joining us to CALL FOR A FILIBUSTER! A coalition of hunger/development orgs is also working hard for Lincoln from a global food crisis perspective -- Stop Gambling on Hunger petition. Articles: ANWF roundup on structural reform measures, WPOST on Dodd's schemes, Fool.com on our "61 votes Perpetuate Too Big to Fail". Thanks and all the best.
