I just got word from Melissa Bean's (D-IL) legistlative director, after getting a letter from Melissa that was supportive of the IGREA, but non-committal to voting for it. The word from the director is that while the Barney Frank bill (IGREA) is not likely to come up for a vote soon, she would vote for the bill in its present form (but doesn't know what the final version would look like). I didn't follow up to find out if she also supports the weaker bills, but I would think that she would as well. I think you should be able to move her up from a ?-.
