 Debt Slavery: What the Bankruptcy Bill Could Do to You DAVID SWANSON / The Black Commentator i.132, 31mar2005
House Democrats are showing glaring signs of weakness, and many of them will back this bill if they don't feel pressure from their constituents to oppose it.

House Democrats are showing glaring signs of weakness, and many of them will back this bill if they don't feel pressure from their constituents to oppose it.  The House Judiciary Committee passed the bill, 22-13, with one Democrat, Rep. Rick Boucher of Virginia, joining the majority Republicans to support the legislation.
The ones with an asterisk have also signed on as co-sponsors of the bill.  The first three on the list are members of the Congressional Black Caucus:
