Senate Republicans Have a Reality Problem

Take Action

Call your Senator
The watchdogs over at Media Matters couldn't help but notice that the Senate GOP has been getting some - to put it delicately - bad PR over their opposition to Wall Street reform.

They put together a sampling from hundreds of newspaper front pages via the Newseum's website that have a common theme. Here are just a few:

But this is more than just an image problem for the GOP, it's a reality problem. The reality is, Republicans in Congress have been carrying the water for Wall Street every step of the way. Now that we finally have a Wall Street reform bill before the Senate, we get to see each and every Senator's true colors; are they with us or Wall Street?

Wall Street does its talking through high powered lobbyists and multi-million dollar campaign contributions. We do our talking by picking up the phone and holding elected officials accountable to us, their constituents.

Now, more than ever, we need some accountability to Main Street over Wall Street. Will you call your Senator and make it happen? Click here to call: http://action.seiu.org/wallstreformcall
