The banking industry is swarming over Capitol Hill in an effort to gut or defeat S. 61, the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act.  The latest tactic is to try to limit the loans that can be modified in bankruptcy to sub prime loans.

These Senators are thought to be undecided or subject to being swayed one way or the other:

Max Baucus – Montana

Tom Carper – Delaware

Tim Johnson – South Dakota

Mary Landrieu – Louisiana

Joe Lieberman – Connecticut

Blanche Lincoln – Arkansas

Claire McCaskill – Missouri

Michael Bennett – Colorado

Roland Burris – Illinois
