Haris attends Banking Committee Hearing

     Robert J.S. Haris and Julie Harris McCrey attended U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy
     F. Geithner's testimony before the Senate Banking Committee. Many of the subjects
     presented in Robert Haris' February 8th letter to Congressman Charles B. Rangel were
     touched upon by the probing committee members in search of specific proposals regarding
     the financial rescue plan. Following the hearing, Haris handed Secretary Geithner a USB
     memory key containing all of his letters addressing the economy, and a handwritten note
     recommending the issuing of peace bonds to finance the economic recovery program.

Fundraiser seeks to boost Dems statewide

     “We know minimum wage has gone up, but it’s about 40 percent behind where it should
     be. We know everyone is talking about urban renewal, but we also need rural renewal in
     states like Pennsylvania. The message is ‘It’s our duty to remember there is more to the
     ticket than just the top.’”
