Former candidates who endorse the Principles
Senator John Edwards | (September 13, 2007) For too long, on Capitol Hill and in state legislatures around the country, the advocate members of AFFIL have been lone voices for consumer protection. For too long, politicians have ignored your voices, listening instead to the wishes of lenders and their lobbyists. Today I am proud to lend my voice in support of AFFIL’s principles for fairness in lending, and to let you know that when I am president, I will listen – and together, we will end the game.

Governor Bill Richardson
| (September 14, 2007) Responsibility, justice, and equality. These are basic American principles that we can all agree to. Yet, too many in the lending industry have made a living violating these principles. It’s got to stop. Together we can make sure that these great American values guide the conduct of lending in this country. I am proud to endorse AFFIL’s Principles of Fairness in Lending. I am proud to stand with you on behalf of consumers and against predatory lending.
