Mike Castle is Still Supporting the Banking Giants

No surprise, but Congressman Castle continues to be the leading proponent of big banking interests in opposition to the administration.
U.S. Rep. Mike Castle (R., Del.), who represents Bank of America's and JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s Wilmington-based credit-card bankers, wants Congress to slow down.

Castle brought Federal Reserve consumer affairs chief Sandra Braunstein before reporters yesterday to warn that rushing restrictions on lenders "could end up further constricting credit."
When ever will the people of Delaware awaken and replace the man? We need real representation in Congress, not another toady of the corporate interests.

Peace.

Jerry,

Castle is a under the protection of corporate interests, most notably the Gannet newspaper chain. As long as that is so, expect Delaware to remain asleep. For one, I am not entirely dismayed by the demise of the newspapers.

The demise of newspapers is a two-edged sword. People like Castle will lose their most public voice, but some others lose the same presentation. How are we to get the word to so many people in the future?

Peace, Jerry
