Yeah, I'm proud of our senators (and Aderholt), but I don't get the actions of the house. I called my rep (Bachus) yesterday and expressed the hope that he would get it right next time.
Another surprise was to find that Bachus is pretty high up on the list of Fannie Mae political contribution recipients. Hopefully that's nothing more than coincidence. However, Shelby's also pretty high on the list, and his opposition has been fierce and consistent.
My question to Shelby and Sessions would be, “How can you sit on a committee that determines regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and yet take money from them?” This is a total conflict of interest. If we followed the money in Congress, they’d all have to be hanged. (Except Ron Paul) /s
