For those that are "Mad as Hell and aren't going to take it any longer!"

This blog is for credit union folk... not bankers hiding behind the credit union charter. Not for folks that have abandoned the original premise of credit unions for fun and profit.

This is a blog for those that want to take ACTION. If you are in "seminar" mode and want someone to tell you what to think... I can't help you out... but, I can give you some things to think about.

We are at a cross-roads for our industry. NCUA, CUNA, and even NAFCU have abandoned us for expediency and quick profits.

We used to be about members.. now we are about Asset Accumulation and Business Services (As if these are the end-all to our problems).

ACTION ITEM: Speak out.. loud, proud, and often. Get out of Seminar mode and into Action mode. This industry is leaderless at present. We've invited the bankers into our midst's and instead of them becoming credit union folks... we've become more bank-like. If you don't speak out, who will?
