Wall Street reform today
Mitch Stewart

Friend --
Idaho's senators are gearing up to cast their last votes on Wall Street reform tomorrow.
Right now, we believe we might have just enough votes to pass this historic legislation.
But we won't know until the final vote is cast -- and we're only certain of one thing:
it could come down to one single senator.
That's how close this is -- and that's how urgently we need your help.
Your senators, James Risch and Mike Crapo, have stood with the big banks on Wall Street every chance they've had.
They need to know you'll be watching tomorrow to see whose side they're on.
Call your senators now and let them know you support Wall Street reform -- and then make sure to let us know what they said.
Call Sen. Crapo at (202) 224-6142
Call Sen. Risch at (202) 224-2752
We're on the verge of passing the boldest overhaul of the financial system since the Great Depression.
Wall Street reform will bring more economic security to consumers by forcing credit card companies, mortgage companies, and predatory lenders to stop exploiting consumers with hidden fees and pages of fine print.
It will create a new Consumer Financial Protection Agency -- with a responsibility to protect all of us.
And it will ensure that taxpayers will never again be asked to bail out the big banks that are "too big to fail."
Reform is facing one last showdown in the Senate.
Lobbyists for the big banks are doing everything they can to stop this legislation before it lands on President Obama's desk.
Let's help pass reform --
and show once again that the movement we built can go up against the most powerful special interests in Washington and win.
Call your senators now:

"Financial Takeover Bill" Seems Poised For Passage
WASHINGTON –
thanks to three aisle-jumping Republicans, it looks like . . .
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will have the votes needed to push the Conference Report of the financial regulatory bill towards a final passage this week.
Officially titled the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act,
after its chief sponsors, opponents are calling it the Frank-Dodd Financial Takeover Act
because of its threatened overreach into all segments of the economy and pending control of businesses.........

Small really is beautiful!
Anyone with basic carpentry skills can construct this classic, one-room cabin for less than $4,000.
Mother Earth News contributing editor and DIY maven Steve Maxwell will show you how to build a 14-by-20-foot cabin featuring a sleeping loft over the porch, following the same standards of durability and beauty you'd apply to a full-size house, but with the style, size and soul of a good cabin.
Even if you never build a cabin of your own, these basic instructions can be useful for building a garage, shed or other outbuilding.
