Group Squeezed Out of GM Bankruptcy Negotiations Attends Congressional Meetings & Pushes for an Auto Task Force Meeting WASHINGTON, May 18 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- GM "Main Street" bondholders will be joined by the New Democratic Network's Michael Moynihan at a press conference Thursday, 9:15 a.m., May 21st, to discuss their interest in a fair and equitable solution and to highlight their Congressional meetings on Capitol Hill. The 60 Plus Association launched a "Main Street" bondholders coalition after receiving hundreds of emails and phone calls from supporters concerned about their investments in GM. Following recent gatherings of hundreds of small bondholders in Warren, MI, Philadelphia, PA, and Tampa, FL, the Main Street Bondholders gather to discuss the nationwide impact of this bankruptcy issue. About a quarter of all GM bondholders are average American citizens, that invested in Fortune 500 Company, GM, to setup their future financial plans, which included settling into retirement, medical expenses, small businesses, and providing for their children's college fund.
