In advance of hearings in the House this week (scroll
down), our adversaries are working hard and smart. In
particular, they do not like
Representative Gutierrez's national payday loan bill.
See what they say
here. He is getting attention from groups he
may not have expected in Washington (click here
for more on the Representative
Gutierrez
or
click here for the bill).
They want
Durbin's bill along with the 36% rate cap. The
alliance against our industry, which includes ACORN,
is noteworthy!
There is something else that is noteworthy. Notice
how the consumer groups have thrown away their
differences and are now cooperating fully among
themselves as a group? They are solely focused on
our demise. They are also working together as a
cohesive, single entity representing a large group of constitutes (voters). That's a smart idea.
Do you think they may be communicating and coordinating
their efforts among themselves? That's another
smart idea. Perhaps we can learn.
ACORN & OTHER GROUPS WANT
DURBIN'S BILL
ACORN and other consumer
groups do not like the Gutierrez Bill -- at all.

Congress urging them to vote against the Gutierrez bill.
