Just called Washington DC

Specifically two of the representatives from my state. The rep from my district, Mark Pocan. I thanked him for voting against rolling back the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Pub.L. 111-203, H.R. 4173).
I then called the office of Ron Kind, to express my displease at his voting to further allow the rape of our economy by the banking industry, by voting for rolling back regulation.

If anyone else wants to call......http://www.house.gov/representatives/
