Chris Dodd is continuing his fight for consumer rights, and getting passionate about it:
At the same time, he is fighting for health care reform. Senator Ted Kennedy from Massachusetts, praises his colleague and good friend, Chris Dodd, for his leadership and work in the ongoing debate on healthcare reform. Kennedy, who chairs the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, tapped Dodd to lead the committee’s effort on healthcare reform in his absence.
Says Senator Kennedy: “Quality healthcare as a fundamental right for all Americans has been the cause of my life, and Chris Dodd has been my closest ally in this fight.”
Like his work on behalf of families in Connecticut and across the country on credit card abuse, keeping our children safe from tobacco, and the Family and Medical Leave Act, Chris Dodd’s leadership to help bring about accessible, affordable healthcare is something that affects us all.
then why did he move to Iowa? just wondering……

Under Chris Dodd’s watch the Credit Card company’s were allowed to establish and enforce these barbaric lending practices. Chris was in the banks back pocket.
All of a sudden the financial systems collapse, everyone is scrambling for cover and Cris Dodd suddenly realizes that these unfair rates and practices exists.
Give me a break. Time to retire CD.

Gee, I know you’re supposed to stick to the talking points, but couldn’t you mix it up a bit with something personal, maybe a story about someone affected by Chris’ wonderful good deeds? When they ask you to write letters to the editor, etc., I think they expect something a little better masked than this.

Maybe we could talk about that women in the TV ad who is grateful for Chris Dodd having finally done something AFTER her credit card debit nearly bankrupted her and forced her to pay it off through her IRA. Talk about Chris “1 day late and a lot of dollars short” Dodd’s help in straightening out her credit card mess.
