Nadeam Elshami, spokesman for Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) released the following statement today on financial reform:
The Congressional Republicans’ record to date in support of Wall Street over Main Street is clear. After meeting with industry lobbyists to kill the bill, every single House Republican voted against the legislation.
Democratic leaders have long been committed to an open conference that will result in strong Wall Street reform, and we hope that Republicans, who have opposed reform from the start, will work with us to protect America’s middle class and stand up to Big Bank and corporate special interests.
