Biden and Carper selling average Americans out on Bankrputcy Bill!
See my post in GD where I ask DU to get on the warpath about the horrendously unfair bankruptcy bill:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3229091


Biden and Carper have been voting against most of the very reasonable Dem-sponsored amendments to the bill. Details:

1) Protecting those affected by their employer filing for bankrupty (thereby wiping out their wages & health insurance):
Biden: Yes
Carper: Yes

2) Wage priority provision:
Biden: NO
Carper: NO

3) No longer allowing wealthy to shield money in asset protection trusts:
Biden: Yes
Carper: NO

4) Provisions to stop predatory lending practices by credit co's:
Biden: NO
Carper: NO

5) Provision to protect those who were victimized by identify theft:
Biden: NO
Carper: NO

6) Provision to protect those whose financial problems rsulted from having to be caregivers for sick family memmbers:
Biden: Not voting
Carper: NO

7) Provision to help protect people whose financial problems resulted from illness from losing their homes:
Biden: Not voting
Carper: NO

8) Provision to exempt from the wage guidelines those whose financial problems were the result of illness:
Biden: NO
Carper: NO

9) Require credit card companies to disclose financing costs to consumers:
Biden: NO
Carper: NO

10)Provision to help protect elderly bankruptcy filers from from losing their homes:
Biden: NO
Carper: NO

11) Provision to protect soldiers/veterans:
Biden: NO
Carper: NO
(But both voted for Rep-sponsored amendment on this that passed)


Yecchhh.......please call them and tell them how upset you are about their votes.

1. Done - AND a letter to the editor.
Government of the people, by the people and FOR the people?

Where did THAT go?

Thanks a lot to Biden, Carper and Castle.
