Talk:Barry Loudermilk/Archive 1

Edit requested on 28 December 2013
To whom it may concern:

It has come to our attention that the Wikepedia article for Barry Loudermilk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Loudermilk) contains inaccurate information in the following online text: “Loudermilk and fellow state senator William Ligon were implicated in a racial discrimination suit brought upon them by a worker in their shared office in 2011. The case was settled by the State of Georgia.”

In a reasonable and good faith effort to maintain the accuracy and integrity of Wikipedia’s web content, we respectfully request a removal of the text above.

Thank you very much.

Rob Adkerson Loudermilk for Congress


 * In response to Mr. Adkerson -- At the very least the term "racial discrimination" should be removed. This is an assumption that has been made by Democrat state Senators and repeated by the media but the details of the lawsuit were never disclosed to the public, according to the sourced news site . I do not believe that we should echo an accusation of that sorts, considering the nature of Mr. Loudermilk's current political situation.

Possible change to: A shared employee of the state in Loudermilk's senate office settled a lawsuit with the state in 2011.

False claims in Legislations and Donors section
Hi Towmwsulver & others,

I'll lay out below why I believe this should be removed.

"In September 2017, the Georgia-based credit bureau Equifax revealed a data breach that affected 143 million Americans and was characterised by technology journalists as 'very possibly the worst leak of personal info ever to have happened'.[8] At almost the same moment as Equifax revealed the breach, Loudermilk, who had been given thousands of dollars by Equifax as part of an extensive lobbying effort,[9][10] introduced a bill that would reduce consumer protections in relation to the nation’s credit bureaus, including capping potential damages in a class action suit to $500,000 regardless of class size or amount of loss.[11][12] The bill would also eliminate all punitive damages.[11][12] Following criticism by consumer advocates, Loudermilk agreed to delay consideration of the bill 'pending a full and complete investigation into the Equifax breach.'[11]"

1) Yes, September 2017 is when Equifax revealed the data breach. Their source for this is fine. ("Why the Equifax breach is very possibly the worst leak of personal info ever". CNBC.)

2) "Loudermilk, who had been given thousands of dollars by Equifax as part of an extensive lobbying effort" is fine, albeit a tad disingenuous. He received $2,000, which is in fact "thousands" but is relatively small in terms of what "thousands" could mean (and typically does mean) with political donations.

3) "At almost the same moment as Equifax revealed the breach, Loudermilk,... introduced a bill that would reduce consumer protections in relation to the nation’s credit bureaus..."


 * The bill was introduced in May 2017.
 * As previously sourced, the Equifax breach was revealed in September 2017.

Because the "almost the same moment" statement is false, it hurts the ultimate goal of this graph (which is to connect a donor in a crisis to a Congressman's proposed legislation). There could be paragraph relating to this, but as it is currently written, it does not belong here.

There also appear to be some mischaracterizations of what the bill actually does, but I don't think that's the heart of this issue.

Loudermilk is protesting too much.
Look how defensive he's being about assisting the insurrection.

Evidence of Loudermilk giving tours to insurrectionists
Earlier today, the January 6th Committee released video evidence from January 5th of Loudermilk giving a recon tour to people who would go on to assault the capitol on January 6th. Seems like that section of the article should be amended. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.183.208.56 (talk) 15:54, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
