Senate Republicans filibustered the Wall Street accountability bill!

BIG NEWS: Last night, Senate Republicans filibustered the Wall Street accountability bill!

Senate Democrats now face a choice: water down the bill and beg Republicans for "bipartisanship" or offer an even STRONGER bill and DARE Republicans to keep blocking reform.

Two brave senators -- Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Carl Levin (D-MI) -- announced they will stand strong and offer a proposal to strengthen the bill. It would outlaw banks from gambling away your money to make a profit for themselves -- sticking taxpayers with the cost of bailing them out.

Can you join thousands of other Americans in signing our petition supporting this bold new move?

(Then, please forward this email to friends.)

It's ridiculous that any of this is legal -- but what's even more ridiculous is that it's going to stay legal if the big bank lobbyists get their way. We need a huge outpouring of public support to get their proposals in the bill.

We'll deliver all signatures to Senators Merkley and Levin so they can use this grassroots support to persuade other senators to join them. (The more momentum they gain, the better -- so forwarding this email to friends makes a big difference.)

Please show your support for ending big bank gambling by signing our petition today.

After you sign, we'll also give you your senator's phone number. Thousands of us calling and demanding this new proposal will make a big difference.

This debate is moving fast, and now is the time we need to tell Senate Democrats to be bolder and stronger
