“It was an honor beyond expression to represent the United States of America, as a veteran and a Congressman,” said Loudermilk, “and to stand in place of my father and countless other patriots who once stepped on those shores in defense of freedom. Many Americans gave their last full measure of devotion during these battles; and, of those that did survive, most are no longer with us, but the memory of what they did there should never be forgotten.”

Press Release of the Week [1 of 2]: Rep. Loudermilk Pushes for Regulatory Relief for Community Banks and Credit Unions
|
|
|
Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) has made the following statement after he re-introduced the bipartisan Comprehensive Regulatory Review Act (CRRA), H.R. 3198:
“Some of the many problems that exist within our federal regulatory agencies is their continued enforcement of outdated, duplicative, or irrelevant regulations, which many of the community banks and credit unions describe as ‘death by a thousand cuts,’ and the failure to clean up their regulatory portfolios. This bill puts teeth in the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act (EGRPRA), amending the law to ensure that financial regulatory agencies do more than just ‘check the box’ when conducting periodic reviews of their regulations. This bill is about rightsizing government regulators so they are more efficient, effective, and up-to-date.”
