Bankruptcy bill, recap and some links
http://forum.noslaves.com/index.php?showtopic=364&st=0&#entry565
-highlights, roll call vote.

www.debtslavery.org
site devoted to exposing the bankruptcy bill and those who voted for it.

I reposting this because this bill is by and for the credit card
companies. I cannot think of any vote that tells us more
who is a member of the corporate party and who in congress are doing their jobs. Which supposedly is to represent their constituents, not
credit card companies.

Please take some time to note your representatives and please
write them to show your disgust on this vote.

1896, 1820 here we come, desperate people and soon debtor's prison.

1. This travesty is so well summed up by Tom Tomorrow's cartoon
which is titled, appropriately, MORAL BANKRUPTCY. It is posted with his other cartoons at Working For Change, http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=18719
