I would just hope that between now and the time the majority leader moves to reconsider that vote that we would hear loudly and clearly from those organizations representing community bankers, representing small businesses. Maybe they just have to say more loudly and clearly that this filibuster is wrong--wrong for Main Street, wrong for the organizations they represent, whether it is community banks or small businesses. If the NFIB has spoken on this already, and if community bankers have spoken on this, I would hope they would speak a lot more loudly and a lot more clearly and a lot more forcefully. This is the big job creator where I come from. I would just hope we would hear more clearly and forcefully from those organizations between now and the time the majority leader offers a motion to reconsider.
