Congress Approves Wall Street Reform

On July 15, the U.S. Senate passed the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act by a count of 60 to 39.

The bill reins in Wall Street and protects consumers, investors, and taxpayers from further financial meltdowns.

Above, U.S. PIRG's Ed Mierzwinski, far left, and Senator Benjamin Cardin (D-MD), listen to Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) speaking at a victory rally on July 15.
