WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate agreed to vote on a $700 billion financial rescue package on Wednesday night that will include an increase in the amount of bank deposits insured by the FDIC to $250,000 from $100,000, a Senate aide said on Tuesday.
The Republican Leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell, agreed.
"This is one of the finer moments in the Senate," McConnell said, calling the legislation "a way forward to get a result we need to achieve for the American people."
And also, call Mitch McConnell's office, KY, and tell him that if he allows this to go forward, you will help his political opponent win this election and will vote for him if you are in Kentucky. McConnell is vulnerable to this, he is running neck and neck right now. This will make a statement that if you support this bailout, you will lose your election.
