Summary: Shell and shelf companies may be used as vehicles for financial fraud SA-54-2009 TO: CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (also of interest
to Loan Officers) The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC) was recently alerted by the Better Business Bureaus of
possible fraudulent or improper activity involving businesses
advertising that they can assist borrowers, who may not otherwise
be able to qualify for a loan, obtain an unsecured business line
of credit. These businesses do this by selling a "shell"
or "shelf company" to the potential borrower. The potential
borrower is then able to substitute the creditworthiness and
business history of the shell or shelf company for their own
in an attempt to obtain credit. While financial institutions
may use different underwriting based on their risk tolerance,
in one example, potential borrowers were advised to request a
line of credit below $150,000, suggesting that bank underwriting
standards at this level are less stringent. These businesses
promise that the borrower will not have to provide business or
personal financial statements, income tax returns and personal
guarantees, and that the lending financial institution will not
pull a personal credit report. These businesses promise positive
results while typically charging large upfront fees. To learn how to automatically receive FDIC
Special Alerts through e-mail, please visit www.fdic.gov/about/subscriptions/index.html.

Scott Murphy will be the next congressman to represent New York's 20th Congressional District After three weeks of counting and re-counting, the results are in. Scott Murphy will be the next congressman to represent New York's 20th Congressional District. You might not remember, but just two weeks before this special election, Scott trailed by 12 points. It's an incredible come-from-behind victory, and it shows that our movement for change hasn't slowed down one bit. Take a moment now to visit our blog to congratulate Scott Murphy and wish him good luck. Scott is a steadfast supporter of President Obama's plans for getting our economy back on track. This victory is an important affirmation from voters for our agenda of change. And with such a close result, the time and hard work volunteers put into this race was absolutely crucial. Now, thanks to the people of upstate New York, President Obama can count on one more partner for change in Congress, where he'll need strong support and cooperation to confront the challenges our country is facing. Visit our blog now to read more about our victory and to congratulate Scott: http://my.barackobama.com/murphywins Thank you, Mitch Mitch Stewart |

MESSAGE FROM THE MAJORITY LEADER House Democrats continue to be very focused on the economy, and in addition to the several measures we have passed, are taking further steps to rebuild the economy and assist Americans working to get by during this recession. Next week, the House expects to consider the budget conference report, which includes targeted, strategic investments to create jobs, make a down payment on health care reform, create a path to energy independence, reform and invest in education, and ensure economic prosperity over the short- and long-term. We will also consider the Credit Cardholders’ Bill of Rights, which passed out of the Financial Services Committee this week with bipartisan support. This important legislation provides needed protection for consumers from unfair and arbitrary practices employed by credit card companies. This Wednesday marked our 39th Earth Day, an anniversary that is especially significant given one of the challenges we face today: our nation's energy crisis. Congress continues to work with the Obama Administration to address this issue, which is not only critical to the health of our planet, but is also a vital part of our efforts to rebuild the economy. Energy legislation will help create new ‘clean energy’ jobs, promote new sources of renewable energy, advance our energy independence, increase energy efficiency, and limit and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. The Energy and Commerce Committee continues to hold hearings on their discussion draft with a goal of passing a bill out of committee by Memorial Day. The House is also making good progress to advance the discussion on the need for comprehensive health care reform. Over the last three months, there have been 10 hearings in the House on health reform, with more planned in the weeks ahead. Democrats are also working to seek broad public input from citizens about what they want to see in a health reform measure, and will continue the conversation as we work towards our goal of passing a bill in the House before August. Passing a reform measure will be a major effort, and we are committed to working together to advance legislation that meets the objectives laid out by President Obama and promotes long-term economic recovery and growth.

Region 9 Texas Young Democrats: Region 9 in the Year Ahead Hey everyone, this is your new TYD Region 9 Director. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to grow and strengthen the presence of Young Democrats in East Texas. In my first discussion with previous Director and current Regional Director Chair Sarah Hannah, I expressed my desire to double the number of Region 9 attendees at next year's convention from this years. "Why not triple it?" she replied. Well, I aim to deliver on this goal. But I need your help! The most important thing I ask of you all is relatively simple: open and frequent communication. I have created a new gmail account: *** tyd.region9@gmail.com *** This will serve as the central nexus of communication for our region, supplemented by this facebook group, and will allow me to easily hand over valuable contact information to my successor in a year's time. First of all, have as many of your members as possible send an email letting me know who they are and what chapter they're with so I can build up the contact list. If any of you chapter presidents have existing rosters of email addresses, please send them my way, it'd be super helpful. Secondly, any time your chapter is hosting an event, whether it's a mixer, a fundraiser, or a candidate speaking, let me know so I can make sure everyone in the region knows about it. You never know who might drive down from where to make connections and lend their support. Interested in hosting an inter-chapter event or activity? I know I sure am! Let me know and we'll get the ball rolling. Finally, if you or anyone you know hears of a Young Democrat or two in a county or campus with no existing chapter, tell them to look up Justin Hudspeth on facebook, give them my contact info, and then point me in their direction too. Feel free to email me at my own address as well, jwhudspeth@gmail.com, with any concerns and needs. My number is 936-645-8217, and I'm located at 618 Price St. Nacogdoches TX 75961. And any time you're in my neck of the woods, the doors of the Little Green House on Price Street are always open to guests. Remember, even as it's my duty to get new
chapters going, I'm here as a resource for existing chapters
too, and I will always listen and respond to your needs. Thanks
and much love! |
