"Over his career, Bennett has raised 3.5 times as much from the finance, insurance and real estate sector than any other sector. Financial interests are his top career supporter, giving him $2.2 million. The top three industries to lend him financial support all hail from this sector: securities and investment companies ($599,300), commercial banks ($416,200) and insurers ($383,250). Real estate companies also rank in as the ninth most prolific industry to support Bennett, with $230,600 in contributions, and finance and credit companies rank tenth, with $225,350 in contributions.

Keep Giving To The Pack! I have never been so sick to my stomach in my life and every American should be up in arms after viewing this short video regarding this so called United States Senator from Utah (Robert Bennett) and the Mortgage Bankers Association lobbying the night before our U.S. Senate voted for the BK-Reform to help save millions of homes from foreclosures and this also would have been accomplished without spending one penny of taxpayer money. Yes I lost every penny I worked for building up a little something for my family to have when I’m not around to watch over them anymore, but just when I was looking for some type of fairness the banking lobby's millions once again carried the day, the very next day the Senate failed to pass the bill, the final vote was 45 in favor to 51 against. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS_6zn3B0pw Permalinkadd a comment | go to forum thread
