Time to make your feelings known.

House Democrats are showing glaring signs of weakness, and many of them will back this bill if they don't feel pressure from their constituents to oppose it. The House Judiciary Committee passed the bill, 22-13, with one Democrat, Rep. Rick Boucher of Virginia, joining the majority Republicans to support the legislation.

These 20 House Democrats wrote a letter to Speaker Dennis Hastert supporting the bankruptcy bill. The ones with an asterisk have also signed on as co-sponsors of the bill. The first three on the list are members of the Congressional Black Caucus:

Rep. Harold E. Ford, Jr. (D-TN) Rep. Artur Davis (D-AL) Rep. Gregory W. Meeks (D-NY) Rep. Ellen O. Tauscher (D-CA) Rep. John Larson (D-CT) Rep. Jim Davis (D-FL) * Rep. Ed Case (D-HI) * Rep. Melissa Bean (D-IL) Rep. Dennis Moore (D-KS) Rep. Mike McIntyre (D-NC) Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-NV) Rep. Steve J. Israel (D-NY) Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-NY) * Rep. David Wu (D-OR) Rep. Darlene Hooley (D-OR) * Rep. Stephanie Herseth (D-SD) Rep. Jay Inslee (D-WA) Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) * Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI)

The following Democratic Congress Members did not sign the letter to Hastert but have signed on as co-sponsors of the bill:

Rep. Robert E. Andrews (D-NJ) Rep. Rick Boucher (D-VA)

As noted above, Boucher also voted for the bill in the Judiciary Committee.

The article goes on to say it's pretty much obvious that the credit card companies heavily funded their campaigns, and I just heard Jerry Springer say that the amount combined for the above Reps was over $750,000.

I'm ashamed to say there are two Oregon Reps among them, but just because they're not in my district, and will probably not change their mind, doesn't mean they won't get a scathing letter from me.

Hope those DU'ers with traitorous Reps will do the same.
