What were all the 35 ammendments to bankruptcy bill shot down by GOP?
Edited on Thu Apr-14-05 09:28 PM by Clarkie1
"Democrats were furious that the GOP leadership allowed none of the 35 amendments they had proposed earlier to be voted on. They particularly wanted provisions that would exempt from the new bankruptcy requirements military personnel returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, and people whose indebtedness is the result of financial identity theft."

This is just plain evil. I would like a list of the other 35 proposed ammendments. This is great political ammunition for us to us to use now and in the future. Write letters to to editor and your congressperson if they voted for this!

4. It is unpatriotic and fundamentally unfair.
And the Chimp is going to sign it into law.

Is that really surprising?

7. Only poor deadbeats try to claim bankruptcy.
And who cares about them, right?
