Thread: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Invest in Lawmakers

Heard Glenn Beck discussing this so went to look for the list.

Interesting how in such a short time Obama is second from the top of the list in receiving $ isn't it?

Sorry by copying and pasting the list is rather hard to read so may be easier to go to the source link to read it easier

Update: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Invest in Lawmakers
Published by Lindsay Renick Mayer on September 11, 2008 11:26 AM |

When the federal government announced two months ago that it would prop up mortgage buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, CRP looked at how much money members of Congress had collected since 1989 from the companies. On Sunday the government completely took over the two government-sponsored enterprises, and we've returned to our data to bring you the updates, this time providing a list of all 354 lawmakers who have gotten money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (in July we posted the top 25). These totals are based on data released electronically from the FEC on Sept. 2 and include contributions to lawmakers' leadership PACs and candidate committees from the floundering companies' PACs and employees. Current members of Congress have received a total of $4.8 million from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, with Democrats collecting 57 percent of that. This week we also wrote about how much money lawmakers had invested of their own money in the companies last year--a total of up to $1.7 million.

What a price tag America is paying! And how can one individual compete with this kind of giving?

Everyone needs to be in Congress to get this kind of money!

One term limits are needed?

Remember Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac has been the retiring ground for Democrats. I heard Dick Morris bring that up with Neal Cavuto today. Some of Obama's campaign managers are Fannie and Freddie big wigs with huge salaries or retiring benefits.

They are dirty. Why isn't Obama asking for an investigation in these companies like Enron. Who ran these companies into the ground?

His buds that's who.

this is true. However the Treasury Dept has stopped all lobbying and contributions and all of those 'big wigs' and execs have been/are being replaced.

Mae and Mack also support Laraza. It is on their web site.

The elites are doing everything in their power to bankrupt America and its citizens. "We the people" are paying the price of our freedoms. WE ARE THE ONES LEFT HOLDING THE BAG. While the rich run off to their luxurious hide-a-ways, stuffing themselves with "approved" food, and counting their money, we are left to deal with an invasion from 3rd world hell-holes and debt so high that our children's children will never be able to pay off.
These TRAITORS need to be treated like they did in times of yore.
