Remember that bill HR 3808, The Interstate Notary Act that zipped through the Senate and talked about here by Badabing?
Well it is baaaack!
H.R. 3808 - Interstate Recognition of Notarizations Act of 2010.
This is a Banking Industry Bill that seeks to legalize electronic interstate notarizations. This bill only has three co-signers and moved rapidly through Congress just as Ally announced that it was halting foreclosures in 23 states. Ally is just one of several national banks (Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo) that are under investigation for illegal notarization practices in a number of states.
How they Voted: (So much for accountability)
Apr 27, 2010: This bill passed in the House of Representatives by voice vote. A record of each representative’s position was not kept.
Sep 27, 2010: This bill passed in the Senate by Unanimous Consent. A record of each senator’s position was not kept.
On the surface, the bill appears harmless. But a closer examination reveals that this bill could cause serious financial harm to consumers. Banks demand we follow every letter of their contracts. We must demand they follow the law. It’s that simple. Please join me in urging President Obama not to sign the bill by sending an email or calling 202-456-1111.
Thanks for working together,
Jennifer Brunner
Ohio Secretary of State
This bill is a direct attack on the Rule of Law. Call you representativeand tell them to uphold the President's veto.
