Can't understand why anyone would suggest giving this organization oversight for anything. What do they bring to the table except corruption? Looks like we have our share of that already.
During consideration of H.R. 3126, legislation to establish a Consumer Financial Protection Agency (CFPA), Democrats on the House Financial Services Committee voted to pass an amendment offered by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) that will make ACORN eligible to play a role in setting regulations for financial institutions. By making representatives of ACORN and other consumer activist organizations eligible to serve on the Oversight Board, the amendment creates a potentially enormous government sanctioned conflict of interest. ACORN-type organizations will have an advisory role on regulating the very financial institutions from which they receive millions of dollars annually in direct corporate contributions and benefit from other financial partnerships and arrangements. These are the same organizations that pressured banks to make subprime mortgage loans and thus bear a major responsibility for the collapse of the housing market. Anyone else heard about this?
Great idea. All of the arguing and name calling in the world usually doesn't change opinions. Strong, sound debate may. The business at hand is that we must work to regain control of our country before it is too late. We should set aside our differences to work toward this common goal. In my humble opinion.
Really makes you stop and think.
New to this site by invitation. Have reviewed your comments and while I may or may not agree with them I find that no cause to launch a personal attack. I am not sure why that seems to happen so much on blogs. It's not about having 'thick' skin. It's about sharing differing opinions and being respectful of all those opinions whether or not we agree. Debate shouldn't be personal. Seems like it often turns that way and then folks label you as this or that. Civil debate is certainly healthy but when we turn it personal we loose credibility. I hope you'll keep sharing your opinions and political views. As a people our political views are just as diverse as our ethnicity.
sounds like scare tactics
Loosing patience? All patience is lost! This administration is trying to sell us down the river. Obamacare will bankrupt this great nation and we the people cannot stand by idly and allow his socialist agenda to prevail. We need to take back America. We need to return this nation to God. These alternative lifestyles need to be squelched and we as a nation need to get back to basics. It's that simple!
