Action Alert: PayDay Lending PDF Print E-mail

From Dr. John Ruoff, SC Fair Share:

All House members need to hear from their constituents on reforming payday lending. The message should be: "Pass the Senate version of payday lending reform. Break the cycle of debt and don't allow these lenders to lend more than a borrower can reasonably pay back when the loan comes due."

Special efforts are needed with subcommittee members (Reps. Nikki Haley, Phil Owens, Joan Brady, Grady Brown, David Mack and Bill Bowers) and members of the House Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee (http://www.scstatehouse.net/html-pages/housecommlst.html#lab).

Contact for all House members is at: http://www.scstatehouse.net/html-pages/housebios.html.

Please let Brenda Kneece know what they tell you.

Executive Minister

Action: Urge U.S. and Iran to Stop Playing Chicken

We hope that President George Bush's trip to the Middle East this week will result in new steps toward peace. But the initial reports are not encouraging.

Ignoring the conclusions of the U.S. military and intelligence agencies, the White House spent the two weeks before the president's trip portraying the visit as an opportunity to put more pressure on Iran and work to further isolate the government in Tehran. Not surprisingly in this atmosphere of tension, a confrontation between U.S. Navy ships and Iranian government speedboats nearly erupted into a shooting war earlier this week.
