Pay Day Lenders Beware…

payday lenders beware; coming to a sidewalk near you…

by problembear

these guys are evil personified on earth!

let’s just make it a date for around may 2010, shall we?

i want to be sure and let you know that we want to get close to your business with our signs and talk to a few folks….hope you won’t mind….i will try and stay upwind….so you get the full effect.

he’s stinky, he’s wide, he’s a problem….and he’s coming to a sidewalk near you….also a great big problembear shout out to all those montana legislators who voted in this legislative session to allow predatory payday and vehicle title loan businesses to continue to charge montana’s working poor up to 650% interest. we won’t forget you either. i promise…..we will visit your legislative districts to give a great big bear hug to all who join montana’s citizens; republicans, democrats, progressives and independents who demand regulation of this industry, and to stump for your more fair-minded opponents.

this report proves that payday lenders are predators who make their money luring poor workers into endless traps…

*as of the date of this posting Mt initiative petition #25 which seeks to regulate payday lenders to reasonable interest rates is in limbo as it awaits the state attorney general’s review for legal language sufficiency. i will update here and on twitter as more news is available.

meanwhile there is still hope that obama will be able to get us some help in regulating payday lenders in the current federal bank regulation bill, but heavy lobbying by wealthy payday lenders is being applied. we need to apply some pressure directly on the lenders themselves by direct action in exposing them for their greed and the damage they do to working families in montana.

one senator in washington in particular has pretty dirty hands on this one…

dates will be posted soon.*if you want to help me gather signatures for the Montana payday lending initiative please leave a comment here and i will be in touch. thanks

by the way- if anyone knows where i can rent or borrow a bear suit size XXXXlarge or at least a bear head for saturdays in may please let me know here. thanks.

• 16:01 Total Jackass! #
• 22:00 hereby declare christian right has been renamed "the nosey people" #
• 22:01 my logo is keep your nose out of my business and i won’t tread on your skinny white ass. #
• 22:09 "Love the quick profit, the annual raise,
  vacation with pay. Want more of everything ready made. Be afraid to know your neighbors and to die #
• 22:10 And you will have a window in your head.
  Not even your future will be a mystery
  any more. Your mind will be punched in a card
  and shut away #
• 22:11 in a little drawer. When they want you to buy something, they will call you.When they want you
  to die for profit they will let you know. #
• 22:12 So, friends, every day do something
  that won’t compute. Love the Lord.
  Love the world. Work for nothing. Take all that you have and be poor. #
• 22:13 Love someone who does not deserve it.

  Denounce the government and embrace
  the flag. Hope to live in that free
  republic for which it stands. #

• 22:14 Give your approval to all you cannot
  understand. Praise ignorance, for what man
  has not encountered he has not destroyed. #
• 22:16 Ask the questions that have no answers.Invest in the millenium.Plant sequoias.
  Say that your main crop is the forest that you did not plant, #
• 22:17 that you will not live to harvest.

  Say that the leaves are harvested
  when they have rotted into the mold.
  Call that profit. #

• 22:17 Prophesy such returns.
  Put your faith in the two inches of humus
  that will build under the trees
  every thousand years. #
• 22:18 Listen to carrion — put your ear
  close, and hear the faint chattering
  of the songs that are to come.Expect the end of the world. #
• 22:19 Laugh.
  Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful
  though you have considered all the facts. #
• 22:20 So long as women do not go cheap
  for power, please women more than men.

  Ask yourself: Will this satisfy a woman satisfied to bear a child? #

• 22:21 Will this disturb the sleep of a woman near to giving birth?Go with your love to the fields.Lie down in the shade.Rest your head
  in her lap. #
• 22:22 Swear allegiance
  to what is nighest your thoughts.

  As soon as the generals and the politicos
  can predict the motions of your mind, lose it. #

• 22:23 Leave it as a sign
  to mark the false trail, the way
  you didn’t go.

  Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary. #

• 22:24 some in the wrong direction.
  Practice resurrection."

  Wendell Berry #
