Because they've done such a great job destroying themselves and the nation, some Virginia legislators ('Dick' Saslaw and Mark Sickles) have decided to reward banks by allowing them to buy out healthy credit unions (probably to help them boost their profitability). Credit union members would get screwed as they would loose their credit union membership and get a BB&T or Wachovia (for example) account instead. Great..
Write your legislators if you are a CU owner/member and don't want to be 'upgraded' to a peon bank customer.
