As I was updating the thread to 156 another post came in updating it to 162, so there are two links below referencing the additions. I have added the additional names to the list below.

If you are represented by any of these good folks, send them a big THANK YOU for their support of this bill!
Edward Royce (CA-40) is a Republican on the House Financial Services Committee, and Daniel Maffei (NY-25) is a Democrat on the Committee.
TOTALS:
133 Republicans (74.72%) - 26 out of 29 committee members
23 Democrats (8.98%) - 3 out of 42 committee members
I find it amazing that we are so close to a number of significant marks - with 156 co-sponsors we are only 62 co-sponsors away from our goal of 218. We are also a mere three Democratic co-sponsors away from having gained the support of 10% of the Democrats in the House. I think that if we can hit 10% (which shouldn't be that hard) it will ensure that this bill is viewed as a completely bipartisan effort to bring about true reform, something we haven't seen in a long time. We are also one Republican co-sponsor away from having support from 75% of the Republicans in the House.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
