SENATE SET TO RAM THROUGH ANOTHER BAD BILL

This Friday Senate Bill 3217, the Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2010, introduced by Democrat Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut, is set to hit the Senate floor.

The Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2010 in laughable in its wording. This bill grants unlimited authority to takeover banking institutions, and favors big institutions, rather than small business. Since this bill is another attack on the private sector and a threat on small businesses, it's time to hit the phones, faxes and emails again.

Contact your state senators, and, if you're up to it, contact as many other senators as you can. See Page 1, Page 2, and Page 3 for list of Senate phone and fax numbers.

There are 8 Republican fence sitters, so focus should be on them. Of course they include the Maine twin sisters:
