'Muscle' Silences Credit Card Adversaries

Travel to D.C., but Refuse Demand to Reveal Financial Information in Exchange for Chance to Testify

At the 11th hour, the credit companies found a way to stop those that had traveled to Washington today to tell their story to the Congressional panel on consumer credit.

The banks whose practices were about to be discussed on Capital Hill were demanding that those testifying before Congress about credit card practices sign a waiver that allowed their personal financial information be revealed to the public.

The Republicans on the sub-committee were backing the bank?' requests and a procedural battle would have ensued.

All the panelists declined to sign the waiver.

Autry described the waiver "as broad and vague as their agreement is deceitful. It said basically, anywhere, anytime, any issue involving your credit is fair game in any public forum."

Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., chairwoman of the Sub-Committee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit, announced the surprising change and why the expected panelists would not be appearing as scheduled.

 

Anyone who fails to see that the republic party is just the tool of the corporations that run our fascist state after reading this is beyond hope
