Subject: Community Reinvestment - RIN 3064-AC50
To whom it may
concern,
As a concerned citizen, I urge you to withdraw your proposed changes to
the Community Reinvestment Act regulations (RIN 3064-AC50). CRA has been
instrumental in increasing homeownership and economic development.
I am very dismayed to hear that this kind of discrimination is being
held against people in already disadvantaged areas. Please reconsider
these changes and ensure that people are treated fairly on the basis of
their credit ratings rather than their address. Without being given the
same opportunities as others to better their living circumstances what
chance do they have of transforming their communities?
Although this particular issue is not close to home for me, as a
concerned christian world citizen I believe that any moves away from
fair and just treatment of all people regardless of their race, address,
or economic status is disastrous and should be criticized. Please be
aware that I will be notifying others of this situation and encouraging
them to also respond. I hope that the prospect of a global spread of
your reputation for injustice will be of some motivation to you.
