Keith Ellison for Congress Keith joins House majority in voting to expedite credit card consumer protections

Source: bit.ly
WASHINGTON, D.C.— The U.S. House voted this week to expedite credit-card consumer protections, which President Obama signed into law earlier this year, after credit card companies began raising interest rates in advance of the legislation’s start date.

This credit card issue is so far gone....the credit card companies are getting so much benefit still! The interest rates are ridiculous. The only way consumers will benefit is with a no interest credit card and it be fee based annually. Otherwise the 19-29% interest the credit card companies are charging will keep consumers in debt for a very long time.

I just received notice from Citibank yesterday of a significant hike in my rates - even though I pay off my card in full each month. It is now up to 29% interest - and that's on the rotating charges! The cash advances are worse! I was more than a little pissed about this.

Thanks, Keith, for your work!!

I think people should just not get credit cards. Unless the like being indentured servants, that is.

By the way, an interesting fact I ran across: Michael Bloomberg spent a reported 105 million dollars on his re-election campaign, the same amount Norway donated in 2007 to The World Bank for a health care initiative for the poorest nations. Sad! Talk about a need for publicly-financed elections!

The best way to increase turnout--besides having more candidates like Rep. Ellison--is to put election day on a Friday or Monday, make it a national holiday, and allow for voting all weekend. More early voting is needed, as well, for people who don't work "banker's hours" and can't reach the polls in time.

How would enforcement be problematic? Company policy is written down. Simply read the company's policy to see if they are in compliance. If they are not, simply drop that company and sign someone else.

Yes for bikers, but first the Twin Cities needs to protect their bikers better. I know so many friends who have been hit by careless drivers over the last few years. If the Twin Cities is recognized nation-wide as one of the top bike-friendly cities in the country, then why aren... Read More´t they being protected more? I would ask, in order to encourage green, harsher sentences for those than hit or injure bikers and more protected, enforced, developed and encouraged bike-lanes. How can we reward those that are biking green instead of put them in danger for it?
