Everyone who is outspoken in this country seems to be a critic of payday loans. It seems the only people in favor of payday loans are the ones who sell them. But that’s what the critics want you to think.
Their bullying tactics have gone on for too long. It is time for payday loan borrowers around the country to stand up and say enough is enough! Anyone speaking on behalf of payday loans is instantly branded as a loan shark and hater of the poor and minorities.
Look at Chris Dodd for example. A Senator attends a fundraising dinner where some members of OLA are present. He gets shredded to bits in the media for it. Now just being in the same room as payday lenders is enough to incur their wrath.
The only way to stop this is for borrowers out there to stand up together and tell their politicians that payday loans are not the brainchild of Satan. They need to tell their representatives that payday lenders are not devils in disguise. They need to tell people that payday loans, when used responsibly, can be a lifesaver.
There’s not enough balance on this issue. Everyone is quickly led away through lies and deception into believing that payday loans are terrible things. The millions of borrowers who use them responsibly might have something else to say about that.
So contact your local representatives and senators. Tell them to lay off payday loans.
