Whip Count for Merkley Levin Amendment
http://www.citizen.org/where-senators-stand

Call your senators and find out where they stand on the “Merkley-Levin Amendment (#3931),” cosponsored by Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and Carl Levin (D-Mich.). This amendment would ensure that Wall Street banks like Goldman Sachs don’t get a government guarantee when they make huge, risky bets in the markets, and it would stop banks from engaging in Goldman-Sachs-style bets against their own clients.

2. My Senator is Carl Levin, do I really need to call?

I am pretty sure Sen. Levin will bring Sen. Stabenow on board too.
