Subject: M-I: bosses have two parties.....at least!


dear friends,
 
As concerns the Savings and Loan debacle
for workers and  Mr. CONyers.
More back -up on voting record of the 
left-Democrats and Michael Eisenschers hero ,
 the bosses rep. J.  Conyers (D-Mi) in the 
House Banking Committee:

 Lets look past the slick liberal  speechifying.

Source: WHO ROBBED AMERICA? by Mike Waldman
and the staff of  R. Nader's  "Public Citizen's Congress 
Watch" 1990, Random house

Conyers votes are no better , probably worse than 
the rest of the demopublicans overall .
His  S&L rundown--  track record to 1990.
Finance industry PAC $$$ (admitted to 1989 )
$12,040.00
1) Remove caps on interest rates 1980 (Y)
2) Deregulate S&L investments (key!) 1982 (Y)
3) Provide max. funding for S&L regulators 1987  (N)
4) Restrict  Risky S&L investments 1987 (N)
5) Weaken capital standards 1989 (N)
6) Put bailout budget in open budget 1989 (N)
7) disclose discriminatory lending 1989 (Y)
8) S&L bailout $$$$ 1989 (Y)
9) "public" funding of house elections 1989 (Y)

About as close to atandard republican voting here
 as one can get , Mike E. 
Gee Mike , your left Democrats are sure progressive!

I use the  rad- liberal Nader's group as back up 
so as to avoid  Mike E's usual 'left' DP apologetics,
his vapid   attacks  on alleged space aliens, ultra lefts,
etc.

Workers don't need to pander to the DP, we need 
to better get ourselves organized , build an anti-capitalist
party for workers and stop getting suckered by both 
 the bosses liberals, their apologists , and CONservatives. .
