The Military Lending Act sought to protect service members and their families from predatory loans. But in practice, the law has defined the types of covered loans so narrowly that it's been all too easy for lenders to circumvent it. “We have to revisit this,” said Sen.

But the occupiers proved more resilient than a sprawling mint plant, returning Monday to replant the desecrated farm. More than 100 activists had gathered at Gill Tract, near Berkeley, on Friday and over the weekend, with some staying on site until the Monday morning raid. They pulled weeds, tilled soil, and planted seedlings. Some pitched tents. RELATED VIDEO: http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=news/local/east_bay&id=9100060http://www.twitpic.com/cqtgts

House Passes Paycheck Deception, but Veto Expected http://www.aflcio.org/Blog/In-The-States/Mo.-House-Passes-Paycheck-Deception-but-Veto-Expected The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), its corporate backers and extremist Missouri lawmakers may have won the first round in their drive to silence working people with a paycheck deception bill, when the House gave it final approval (86-69) earlier this week. But thanks to a strong mobilization by Missouri working families and their unions and allies, the close vote—that included several Republicans who voted against the bill—means that Gov. Jay Nixon’s (D) expected veto cannot be overridden. It takes a two-thirds majority vote to override… RELATED: http://teamsternation.blogspot.com/2013/04/woot-paycheck-deception-picket.htmlhttp://www.twitpic.com/cqte72
