Re: Disastrous Durbin Anti-Supplement Amendment Just Offered! Help Stop it.

[Guest guest]

A good bet to wager on would be that the good Sen will revisit this attempt

again. Not negative thinking, just seen these sneaky snakes for too long to

believe otherwise.

IMHO ALL politician do not work for our benefit but, for $ instead.

Good to see we have more time though.

for standing with us.
