U R Pre-Approved™ is an entertaining and hard-hitting documentary journey into the tantalizing world of your Credit Cards and the shadowy forces controlling them. Who's behind the threatening deception? Why are so few paying attention? How could this happen…in America?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The film which is being released nationally and internationally via the internet and on-line purchases of DVD's will go on sale August 2007 at &lt;a href="http://urpreapproved.com"&gt;www.urpreapproved.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;U.S. Consumers carry more than $800 billion in credit card debt, alone, and the debt load (the total available line of credit for Americans, as approved by Credit Card Companies) on all credit cards is over $2 trillion. To put this free-spending scenario into perspective: Experts estimate that 75% of all Americans are just THREE paychecks away from bankruptcy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In exploring the murky nature of credit card practices and marketing, U R Pre-Approved™ reveals the harsh effect of the nation's declining financial literacy rate and shines a bright light on America's startling attraction to the newest financial "addiction" of choice - credit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The film is highly entertaining and educational at the same time and was designed to be viewed by all audiences inducing; college students, families and teenagers. The movie is getting rave reviews around the country and features some of today’s hottest debt experts including; Elizabeth Warren, Harvard PhD, Dr. Robert Manning and more than a dozen others who lay it on the line, tell the truth and what they have to say about how and why people are in debt may shock you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To watch this movie yourself is to realize with dawning appreciation that no one, not the government, not the politician, and certainly not the credit card industry are looking out for the average American. They are on their own, but for the first time, they have a real tool to use to fight back and win the war on credit card debt.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

Every&lt;br /&gt;single person you know, including yourself is in debt. I&lt;br /&gt;know, some of you may be saying, but I don't have any credit&lt;br /&gt;cards, so I'm not in debt. Sorry, but credit cards are only&lt;br /&gt;part of the debt equation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only people that MIGHT be able to say they are not in&lt;br /&gt;debt are the people who live in the middle of a jungle,&lt;br /&gt;never see any other humans, never have anything that haven't&lt;br /&gt;made, caught or found on their own and have no idea that the&lt;br /&gt;rest of humanity even exists. Let's not split hairs here&lt;br /&gt;because even these people are in debt to the Earth for&lt;br /&gt;providing all they need to live, but that's a conversation&lt;br /&gt;for another time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So everyone's in debt, right? Sure seems that way. We owe&lt;br /&gt;rent, our mortgage, we buy food, get water sent to our&lt;br /&gt;houses, we work for a living (even if you own your own&lt;br /&gt;business) and we are in debt to all of these things. Every&lt;br /&gt;moment of every day people are making money, spending money&lt;br /&gt;or investing money and for this to happen other people must&lt;br /&gt;be in debt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans are now more than 800 billion dollars in credit&lt;br /&gt;card debt and they have over 2 trillion dollars available to&lt;br /&gt;spend. Americans are literally spending themselves into&lt;br /&gt;financial bondage and for many there's no return from this&lt;br /&gt;wretched path.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the making of the film, UR Pre-Approved President&lt;br /&gt;of &lt;b&gt;Marketing Experts International,&lt;/b&gt; Randall Blaum&lt;br /&gt;spoke with dozens of experts about why this is happening and the&lt;br /&gt;constants discovered were;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. That the basics we all need (food, water, shelter) cost&lt;br /&gt;significantly more than they used to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 . People are going farther into debt just to live, Tamara&lt;br /&gt;Draut from Demos calls it "The Plastic Safety Net" (using&lt;br /&gt;credit just to live at a bare minimum).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. The credit card companies are doing everything possible&lt;br /&gt;to get as many credit cards into our hands as possible, no&lt;br /&gt;matter if certain people can't even afford to have a credit&lt;br /&gt;card.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These (3) three things bring us to the perfect storm. Americans&lt;br /&gt;want to have more than they can afford, everything costs&lt;br /&gt;more and now more and more people that should never be given&lt;br /&gt;a credit card have them and are spending more than they can&lt;br /&gt;ever hope to repay. This "Debt Treadmill" is a killer and&lt;br /&gt;needs to be stopped if we as free Americans ever hope to&lt;br /&gt;take control of our own lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To help you get off the debt treadmill, stop using your&lt;br /&gt;credit cards for just 30 days, except in the case a true&lt;br /&gt;emergency. Pay extra on your highest rate cards to get the&lt;br /&gt;balances down and most of all don't kick yourself for being&lt;br /&gt;human. Take control and get moving on a better path.

The average amount of debt people carry on their&lt;br /&gt;credit cards is $9300. People are paying as much as 30% &lt;br /&gt;interest.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.urpreapproved.com/"&gt;&lt;h3&gt;UR Pre-Approved(TM)...&lt;br /&gt;It's a National Disaster! &lt;/h3&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;_&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--
