>>  URGENT ACTION ITEM! House may vote Thursday
>>  on measure to kill "Know Your Customer"
>>  -----------------------------------------
>>
>>  * Immediate action required! Please telephone your Representative
>>
>>  We've just been informed that the U.S. House may vote Thursday,
>>  July 1, on an amendment that would kill all "Know Your Customer"
>>  rules and regulations permanently.
>>
>>  The measure is called the Paul-Barr-Campbell Financial Privacy
>>  Amendment to HR 10. The amendment would accomplish all of
>>  the goals of the Know Your Customer Sunset Act (HR 516).
>>
>>  Please contact your House representative immediately and ask
>>  him or her to *support* this amendment.
>>
>>  Note that we can't be certain that this vote will actually take
>>  place on Thursday, but we're acting on the latest information
>>  available on Capitol Hill as of Tuesday evening. If we waited
>>  until we were certain of a vote, it would be too late to alert you!
>>
>>  Those of you whose House representative sits on the Rules
>>  Committee can play an especially important role.  (See below.)
>>
>>  WHAT TO DO: Immediately call the Capitol Hill switchboard at
>>  202-225-3121 or 202-224-3121 and ask to be connected to your
>>  representative's office.  Then politely tell the staffer, or
>>  leave a voice mail message, saying:
>>
>>  (1)  You are a voter in their district, and leave your name,
>>       address, and telephone number.
>>
>>  (2)  Ask them to vote YES on the Paul-Barr-Campbell Financial
>>       Privacy Amendment to HR 10 when it comes to a vote on Thursday.
>>
>>  The Capitol switchboard is open 24 hours a day, so please call
>>  regardless of when you get this message. If your representative
>>  has voice mail (and most do) you will be connected to their office.
>>  Please call if you get this anytime before late Thursday night.
>>
>>  Remember, call -- don't e-mail -- because there's not enough time
>>  for the office staff to download, print, and count e-mail messages
>>  before the vote.
>>
>>  WHAT TO DO IF YOUR REPRESENTATIVE SITS ON THE RULES COMMITTEE:
>>
>>  Look at the list of the 13 Rules Committee members below and see if
>>  one of them represents your district.  If so, call 202-225-3121 or
>>  202-224-3121 and ask to be connected to their office.  Then tell them:
>>
>>  (1)  You are a voter in their district, and leave your name, address,
>>       and telephone number.
>>
>>  (2)  Vote to *ALLOW* a full House vote on the Paul-Barr-Campbell
>>       Financial Privacy Amendment to HR 10.  Tell them you know this
>>       amendment would kill the Know Your Customer regulation, which is
>>       a violation of your financial privacy.
