He tells me he's running for a reason.
The foreclosure crisis, the outright fraud by banks and mortgage processors, and the virtual powerlessness of any one homeowner to fight back even compelled the ever-timid Mark Udall to speak out.
So here's a chance for Bennet to speak out, too. His signature on this would tell me more about Michael Bennet than any of his ads could:
U.S. Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Tom Harkin (D-IA), Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and Mark Begich (D-AK) today sent a letter to Obama Administration officials, including Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, urging action following recent news reports of widespread improprieties and mistakes in the foreclosure processes employed by mortgage servicers.
...
"The emerging details of mortgage servicers' abusive and fraudulent practices are just one more example of large financial institutions taking advantage of hardworking families who are trying to make ends meet. I encourage the Administration to use its authority to stamp out these abuses and to do all it can to protect American families from these kinds of abuses," said Iowa Senator Tom Harkin. Tom Harkin's got guts. And he knows exactly where the principles of the Democratic Party lead in a situation like this: to stand up for Joe Sixpack and stand up to CitiGroup and BofA.
There's time for Senator Bennet to make up for that horrible cram down vote, too, before voters make their last decision about who will be Colorado's next U.S. Senator. How long can it take to sign a letter, Mike? |
