An impressive coalition has been assembled during the past week to work, against all odds, for the defeat in the Congress of a bankruptcy bill passed last month in the Senate.  The House is expected to vote on the bill (S. 256) this week.

The groups lobbying against it include: Democrats.com, Progressive Democrats of America,  AFL-CIO, Billionaires for Bush, Black Commentator, Center for American Progress, Democracy Week, The Nation, National Community Reinvestment Coalition, National Organization for Women, People's Email Network, Politology, Public Citizen, and more.  See list at www.debtslavery.org

These organizations have been encouraging their members to Email, phone, and fax Congress. Members of these groups will rally outside the district offices of targeted Members of Congress around the country on Wednesday April 6 at noon local time.  To get involved and to Email and phone your congress member, go here: http://elandslide.org/elandslide/display2.cfm?id=1329&type=Action%20Kit
