Reply #4: "We need to provide bankruptcy relief" Dean has said this. [View All]

Several times. Here is what that lovely man Sensenbrenner had to say about that though:

"The chairman of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee said on Tuesday he had no intention of reopening a sweeping bankruptcy law passed by Congress earlier this year, despite proposals to exempt Hurricane Katrina victims from some of its provisions.

The new, more stringent bankruptcy law will not harm people left "down and out" by the storm, Wisconsin Republican Rep. James Sensenbrenner said.

He said he would not hold a hearing in his committee on a bill by the panel's ranking Democrat, Michigan Rep. John Conyers, and 31 other Democrats who want to exempt Hurricane Katrina victims from parts of the new bankruptcy law. A chairman's decision not to hold a hearing usually prevents a House bill from advancing."

I saw this posted at Kos, and it made me sick inside. Dean urged this on CNN the other day, and in another statement as well. These guys are so heartless.
