For the last five years, MBNA has been pressing lawmakers to pass legislation that would make it harder for individuals to file bankruptcy—a bill that, if approved, stands to earn MBNA at least $100 million in additional revenues each year, according to press reports. The bank also has lobbied against legislation to protect consumer privacy rights and was a leading proponent of banking deregulation. http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/summary.asp?ID=D000000114 http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/contrib.asp?CID=N00004781&cycle=2000http://www.newsmeat.com/washington_political_donations/Louis_Freeh.phphttp://www.speaker.gov/library/econ/050414bankrupt.shtml

about all these kinds of actions by the Republicans including banking de-regulation, social security, Medicare, health care, corporate welfare and huge tax breaks, the deficit facing our children thanks to Bush's war of choice and tax cuts for the wealthy.
