Demand full disclosure

Thank goodness that Nancy Joe Kemper has read the bills on banking regulation (or deregulation) that Rep. Andy Barr has submitted to the House of Representatives.

Once again, the Congress has been influenced by political contributions rather than what is good for the people. We need a law that would make it mandatory for member of Congress to disclose who has actually written (or drafted) the language which is contained in a bill.

This would make it clear whose interest they are supporting before more money is taken out of our pockets and transferred to the billionaires.
