Grassroots Spotlight

• CURIA Introduced in Senate (S. 2957). 
  The credit unions have succeeded in getting CURIA introduced in the Senate for the first time.  Senators have not heard from bankers why CURIA is bad public policy.  Take Action today and ask your Senators not to cosponsor S. 2957.
  
  
• Help Protect Mortgage Credit
  Both the Senate and House Judiciary Committees have passed legislation to allow bankruptcy judges to change the terms of a loan secured by a principal residence (reduce interest rate, change amortization schedule, cram down the principal owed).  Either house could take action on this issue with no more than a few days notice.  We will keep you advised by our e-mail alert system.  Click here to sign up if you do not already receive ABA's grassroots alerts.
