Stop the Senate from Supporting Credit Card Companies! Fight Back
Now! Government Representatives should represent US, not big business!
 If
you're like us, you get lots of credit card offers in the mail.
Sure, some are from mainstream banks seeking to boost their customer
database; and many are from not so legitimate sources making outrageous
claims, some even having the nerve to charge a "nominal"
fee of $29.95 per year. Doesn't matter where they come from. I
hate 'em all.
>>
CREDIT STAT:
The average American family has at least two credit cards and
owes balances of $10,000 <<
Our
mailbox gets these offers on a regular basis. Fortunately, we
have excellent credit. But it wasn't always that way. Right outta
high school, credit card kiosks on college campuses enticed us
with (initially) low interest rates and free sipper bottles. Soon,
we were living beyond our means. It took lots of self-discipline
and hard work and penny pinching to turn the red into the black.
But it did finally happened.

CREDIT STAT:
Credit
card companies solicit the average American 7 times per year through
the mail <<
Now
these insidious corporations have pushed the limit. They've created
a bill that will exempt them from bankruptcy filings. What does
this mean? Basically, when a hard working American family gets
in over their head in debt, they can take the legal route of filing
for bankruptcy. Usually this will wipe clean all of their debt
to start anew. Not so with this new bill. The giant credit card
issuers -- American Express, Discover, MasterCard, Visa and others
-- are trying to remain in the payback process of the bankruptcy
proceedings. Now here's the irony of all of this: Many people
get into to such crippling debt because of the damn credit
card companies!

CREDIT STAT:
Almost
half the households in America report having difficulty paying
their minimum monthly payments <<

"Capitalism
is alive and well and hyper-consumerism is its bastard offspring."

Why
this is bad: Capitalism is alive and well and hyper-consumerism
is its bastard offspring. Any company has the right to make money,
even the evil big corporations of the world (you know who I'm
talkin' 'bout). If you're too stupid to fork over your cash for
any old item or offer, then it's your fault, buddy. Don't be so
impulsive next time. However, while these companies are raking
in millions of dollars (and billions in some cases) they are collectively
and single-handedly buying government officials and changing rules
and existing policies. And now they want special treatment when
it comes to bankruptcy filings? Gimme a break!
>>
CREDIT STAT:
Americans
paid out approximately $65 billion in interest last year alone
<<
So
the ever shrinking mom and pop shops of this country get the shaft
out of all of this. Use plastic to pay for a whatever and still
have to pay it off even if you file for bankruptcy. But finance
a dining room set or kitchen appliance from a local merchant and
they're left S.O.L. Once again, government kiss-asses don't have
the American people's best interest in mind. We're crapped on
while the multi-million dollar entities continue to get wealthier
and more powerful!
>>
CREDIT STAT:
Last
year, over 1.3 million Americans filed for Bankruptcy
<<
Now
that you've got the 411, what are you waiting for? Go to the letters
section, print out one that fits your sentiments and mail it back
in the postage paid return envelope that comes in all credit card
solicitations. GO
THERE NOW!!! >>>>>
