So far only two NC Democratic representatives have cosponsored this legislation, and Hagan has yet to co-sponsor the Senate bill.
It's just shameful to see Republicans dominating this issue when really it is Democrats who proclaim to be champions of transparency and regulation for out-of-control financial institutions.
This is the kind of legislation that everyone should be supporting. It was introduced in the House by Ron Paul, and has over 290 cosponsors. All Republicans have signed on, along with many Democrats.
The Senate bill is currently standing at 27 cosponsors, and was introduced by the progressive/socialist Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Yeah, a bill introduced by a an avowed socialist has been cosponsored by Burr but not Hagan. What the heck?
If you can get an answer from Hagan's office
you're doing better than I can ... I don't even bother trying anymore.
Do good. Be nice. Have fun.
Neither do I
I used to call Price's office occasionally, but I just got the same lame answers every time.

Something is amiss here
There may be things that will be very embarrassing revealed if this bill becomes law. I do not say that to defend it not being passed. I say that to offer up a reason for the divide and the reluctance to get it done.
No Excuses
There's simply no excuse for these people not signing on to this legislation. Over 2/3 of the House already has signed on, from the far left to the far right, and every joker politician in between.
My suspicion is that the Democrat leadership, since it is now the vanguard of the establishment, doesn't want to see this passed. Why? Because the Federal Reserve is the biggest special interest boondoggle in the entire Federal Government. It is institutionalized corporate welfare.
