This entry is from an e-mail I received from MoveOn.org, the next best thing to the actual Democratic Party. And, no, we're not going political with this blog, just showing everyone the direction this country is headed...the fight is bigger than Tuesday Morning, but Tuesday Morning is a good start in my book!!!

>>Dear MoveOn member,

A great majority of the families that declared bankruptcy last year did so because of a major life crisis—huge medical bills or layoffs—that threw them into a spiral of debt. Now, after a multi-year, multi-million dollar lobbying effort by credit card companies, Congress is poised Wednesday to approve a sweeping change in bankruptcy law that would make it impossible for folks who have been dealt a bad hand to get a clean start. The law actually gives credit card companies new ways to seize your home and car if you get into financial trouble.

After accepting more than $620,000 from the lending industry to his various PACs, Republican Majority Leader Rep. Tom DeLay has scheduled the vote for Wednesday. The change in bankruptcy laws is a clear example of whose interests the Republicans in Congress are serving. But, in a betrayal of middle class families, as many as 90 Democrats may also vote the wrong way. Both Republicans and Democrats need to know that millions of us oppose this bonanza for corporate contributors that hurts families who are the victims of circumstances beyond their control.<<

Call your Congressperson TODAY...tell them you are not happy with the government being in the hip pocket of corporate America. And tell them you are opposed to the passage of this bill...are we going to let this happen in America?

In order to change America, we're all going to have to become activists.
