WASHINGTON — Bowing to political pressure from community bankers, the House Financial Services Committee approved an exemption on Thursday for more than 98 percent of the nation’s banks from oversight by a new agency created to protect consumers from abusive or deceptive credit cards, mortgages and other loans.
The carve-out in legislation overhauling the regulatory system would prevent the new consumer financial protection agency from conducting annual examinations of the lending practices a
The exemption for the banks was endorsed by the chairman, Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, who saw it as necessary to win support for the overall bill from the committee’s moderate and conservative Democrats.

I go to the local farmers markets and fleamarkets on the weekends. I get my veggies and meat from the local farmers. I then TALK to people (briefly) about the financial crunch and the Federal reserve and the food safety bills
I hand out hand written index cards with the following and ask them to pass the info to another 10 people:
GOOGLE:
Confessions of an Economic Hitman
Creature from Jekyll Island
Secrets of the Federal reserve
Informed Jury Assoc
History, HACCP and food safety con Job
I have found a lot of people start asking questions. They know something is wrong and at least I seem to have some answers.
.I have included a copy of the flier that I have passed out -- some 4,000 of them -- to people and many of them were receptive and grateful for the small flier. So, perhaps, this is one way to go. Better than nothing.
