Numerous newspapers and blogs have been reporting on the story:

CQ Politics has the scoop.

If you want to watch someone who stands up against corruption, you should watch Lou Dobbs on CNN.  Good guy.  Mr. Independent.

Before this amendment there was a loophole in our government.   Politicians could hide or get preferential treatment with mortage companies.

 

I think revealing your financial status is an excellent idea.

This foreclosure idea is a great way to ensure the accountability of the government. 

Keep up the good work Senator.
