DALLAS — In a revved up advocacy pitch to voice the industry's favored role on subprime mortgages and to address recession fears, the Texas Credit Union League revealed Thursday the launch of a statewide media blitz to gather and publish scores of credit union "success stories."

"We have been handed a unique opportunity to tell the credit union story and if we don't act immediately on this kind of news hook, it will be gone and we will have simply missed the boat," declared Winter Prosapio, TCUL director of communications–advocacy.

Once collected, the CU "True American Success Stories," as the program is being headlined, will be distributed to mainstream media "as well as on blogs, the Internet, and radio talk shows" to name a few outlets, said Prosapio.
