From this morning's Earlybird:

• "Lobbyists are scurrying to make major changes to the 1,336-page financial overhaul legislation Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) released this week," The Hill reports. "Everyone from consumer advocates to executives at big banks want changes to the long-awaited bill, which aims to prevent future financial crises."

• "With the final showdown over health care reform looming, conservative activists Tuesday descended on Capitol Hill to press lawmakers to spike the measure while medical stakeholders worked behind the scenes to protect their interests," Roll Call reports.

• "House phone lines were nearing capacity on Tuesday as conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh encouraged fans to call in their objections on healthcare legislation," The Hill reports. "The House e-mail system was also deluged in what the House's technology office called 'a very significant spike' in traffic."

• "A new federal tax requirement is exposing sensitive salary information of trade association lobbyists and other senior employees, setting off alarms downtown over how the information will be used," Roll Call reports.
