Enter the Regulatory Accountability Act, which has already passed the House and is up in the Senate. It would make it virtually impossible for any new regulation to rein in Wall Street to be passed. If you would like to contact your Senators to urge them to vote against it, Americans for Financial Reform has an email ready for you to customize and send. It's got some background information and the email itself ready to go. You can just enter your name and address (to get it to the right Senator), or you can customize the letter.
