More on David Wu and the Bankruptcy Bill

We reported yesterday that David Wu has said that he was going to support congress's gift to the predatory credit card companies, the bankruptcy bill. David Wu's support of the bankruptcy bill becomes even more puzzling when we look at the list of campaign contributors for the 2004 election. No contributions from the financial industry and most from the very people who will be victimized by this bill.
