Who here has done the digging into Alinsky? We need to attack the radicals with their own playbook. The reason MoveOn and the other radicals are having so much trouble is that they practiced on the likes of ACORN and those looking for a cult – ACORN only wants more welfare and most are on Medicaid and the cult followers have achieved their goal – that leaves the radical community organizers advertising for paid followers.

Our movement will last because there is not much more important than freedom, but there needs to be some sort of plan – we need a retired FBI profiler or such to turn the Alinsky tables on them.

House Passes Significant Credit Card Regulation In Bipartisan Vote

(snip)

Demos, a non-partisan public policy research and advocacy organization for which I work, has conducted has demonstrated through research that in a market with almost no rules, low-income families and households of color pay disproportionately high costs for credit card borrowing, in the form of painfully high interest rates and excessive penalty fees. And when the economy slows and unemployment rises, more and more families are forced to rely on credit card debt to cover shortfalls in income. In short, the absence of basic regulation in the credit card market is making this recession deeper for those already on the bottom.

This is the message we took to the Treasury on Wednesday, when Secretary Geithner invited Demos and other stakeholders in the consumer advocacy and civil rights communities to meet Ms. Araujo and discuss principles for credit card reform. Besieged borrowers cannot hold on for another year. Still reaping the consequences of the subprime debacle, banks are openly increasing interest rates and fees on their credit card customers in order to cover losses in other areas. As lenders turn the screws on cardholders, delinquencies have reached an all time high.

Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank warned during debate on the House bill that if banks appeared to be gouging customers in the run-up to the new rules, he would seek a quicker implementation in the final negotiations with the Senate, which may take up its version of the measure as soon as next week.

“I work as a financial crimes investigator and so I knew what to look for,” Ms. Araujo told us on Wednesday. “A lot of other people do not.” Let's hope Members of Congress can recognize abuse when they see it and act quickly to snuff it out.

Caleb Gibson, a Harvard graduate, is the Advocacy and Legislative Coordinator at Demos, a non-partisan public policy, research and advocacy organization founded in 2000. Caleb comes to Demos from the U.S. Senate, where he served for many years both as a legislative aide and as a speech writer.

Thanks for your post, and I certainly agree with you, there’s a reason for all these czars; and it’s not for the betterment of our Republic.

The Alinsky for Conservatives was just what I was looking for!

Sounds just like another ACORN commie group out to do the very same things that blew up our economy in the first damn place. Loaning money to people that can’t afford it and then taking our money to pay their bills when they default! This should piss everyone in this country off! We pay our bills and act responsibly and now we get to pay their bills too! It’s an outrage!

I noticed that Robert Reich is on board there too along with Obama and Van Jones! Little midget commie moron!

Thanks for the ping to what you dug up.

He came up with some interesting conclusions. I am going to check his website to see what else he has blogged since the election! New Zealand —great country.

“More likely the Ovomitons are routinely colluding and conspiring to undermine US national secruity, to get their hand-picked cronies into gov’t.”

I’ll wager there are a dozen or more “Ovomitrons” who are dirty, and pose a serious national security risk. Beck probably has a few “deep throats” (CIA, FBI?) feeding him info. Obama’s enemies(patriotic Americans) are accumulating
rapidly ;-)

Heheheheh..........I urge Eric Holder to move ahead and do multiple in-depth investigations of America's security agencies.

Holder gets terrific results. ROTFLMCO.

[Grampa Dave]

Holder is a very dangerous person,which is why 0b0z0 made him our AG!

Beck is now after all of my Czars!

[combat_boots]

“McCain didn’t seem like he was really trying either, did he?”

In retrospect, you’re right, he didn’t there at the end. He’s been around & must’ve known.

[Grampa Dave]

Loudon just sent that list of my Czars to Glenn Beck with their documented past words of Hate America.

Geez! Beck will be after all of my Czars!

Joe, is that your name on that list?

[Liz]

"Aw, c'mon Glenn....back off"

“Heheheheh..........I urge Eric Holder to move ahead and do multiple in-depth investigations of America’s security agencies. “

Yeah, let Holder REALLY piss em off ;-)
