proud sponsor of the American Dream

>The LA[TIMES] fronts a profile on Ronald Arnall, the embattled CEO of
Ameriquest and recent Bush nominee for ambassador to the Netherlands.
Arnall's company, which provides home loans to persons with bad credit
histories, has been accused by state and federal agencies of charging
"hidden fees and higher-than-promised interest rates." The piece
scrutinizes Arnall's generous campaign contributions to members of
both parties, many of whom backed Ameriquest's efforts to get lending
standards relaxed, while asking how much Arnall really knew about what
went on at his company.< (SLATE, August 7, 2005)
