FOXNews.com reports some Republicans are considering surrendering their successful filibuster of the financial “deform” bill (the third round of which was successful today, 56-42).
Senate Republicans…will attempt to change the bill on the Senate floor, Republican officials said.
Sen. Richard Shelby, the top Republican on the Senate Banking committee, said he has assurances that Democrats will adjust his banking regulation bill to address concerns that it perpetuates bailouts.
The concession sets the stage for Republicans to withdraw objections that have stalled the bill in the Senate.
The agreement does not bridge other significant differences between the parties on the bill.
Democrats tried three times to begin debate on the bill only to be thwarted by Republican opposition.
Contact your Senators now and urge them to continue the filibuster! Make sure they know a vote for cloture will be seen as a vote for empowering the Federal Reserve!
Sen. Shelby’s trust in the ‘assurances’ of the Democrats to change the bill after the filibuster is over is misguided and extremely naive.
