Vote Against "Debt Slavery"
Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005

Any day now, your Representative in Congress will vote on a hugely important "Debt Slavery" Bankruptcy Bill (HR 685) that could literally change your life. The bill was written by credit card companies, which made $30 billion in profits in 2004, and are blinded by greed.

The bill will change current law to prevent many families from declaring bankruptcy under Chapter 7. Rather than being able to cancel some debts and make a difficult new start, families and individuals will be placed on long-term payment plans to credit card companies, companies that will take their houses, their cars, their child-support payments, and their paychecks.

If this bill becomes law, an unexpected medical expense or job loss could leave you a debt slave to these loan sharks.

Tell your congress member to vote against the "Debt Slavery" Bankruptcy Bill now!
