Crunch time for the bankruptcy bill

Eschaton has this report (link above) on the way things stand with the bill. The Republicans are trying to invokethe cloture rule and end debate. Ostensibly so they won't have to go on the record explaining their support for a bill that makes it harder for military families, seniors and the poor to free themselves of crushing debt-- at the same time it allows millionaires to keep their assets.

I'm inclined to think that the admin. really is serious about privatization-- that it's not just a smoke screen. But this issue needs some serious attention. Read the post, and if you're in a state represented by any of the senators on the list of Dems set to support the bill, take five minutes to call or write them. Please.
