First, it is time to convene a meeting of the nations accounting professionals to discuss the current mark to market accounting systems. We are witnessing an unprecedented situation as banks and investors try to determine the appropriate value of the assets they are holding and there is widespread concern that this approach is exacerbating the credit crunch.</p> <p>We should also convene a meeting of the nations top mortgage lenders. Working together, they should pledge to provide maximum support and help to their cash-strapped, but credit worthy customers. They should pledge to do everything possible to keep families in their homes and businesses growing. Recall that immediately after September 11, 2001 General Motors stepped in to provide 0 percent financing as part of keeping the economy growing. We need a similar response by the mortgage lenders. Theyve been asking the government to help them out. Im now calling upon them to help their customers, and their nation out. Its time to help American families.</p> <p>LABEL: JM CA 3-25 (JC#121) AGZZ - ClipO</p> <p>To download a high res version of this clip, VISIT: <a href="http://issuealliance.box.net/shared/l8rei5z3nr">issuealliance.box.net</a> </p> <p>To download the full campaign event, VISIT: <a href="http://issuealliance.box.net/shared/lh5yscoco4">issuealliance.box.net</a> </p> </div> <a href="/blog/53795-john-mccain-speech-03-25-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/53616-sen-jon-tester-d-mt-get-the-referees-back-on-the-field 2008-09-29T06:47:56Z tpmtv <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8GYl3Mv12EI&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8GYl3Mv12EI&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/53616-sen-jon-tester-d-mt-get-the-referees-back-on-the-field"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/65076" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Banking Committee member Jon Tester tells MSNBC that Wall Street needs its regulators.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/53616-sen-jon-tester-d-mt-get-the-referees-back-on-the-field">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/49988-are-you-dollar-dazed-snd-confused 2008-10-06T10:35:22Z ninaground <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9DEM-Ip2ubI&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9DEM-Ip2ubI&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/49988-are-you-dollar-dazed-snd-confused"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/60687" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Throw conspiracy out the window and get in the program here folks... corruption and fraud are about the totally ruin this country and we can not let this happen.
