I definitely want the same but when taken from the quote in the article:

What we need is the FULL text of the amendment.

No, it doesn't. It says they voted against a bill that would have forced credit reporting agencies to use political and religious beliefs. I already parsed this and removed the excess verbiage. If they were trying to imply the opposite they need to go back to journalism school and get themselves a better grasp of the English language.

Democrats in the House of Representatives voted on Wednesday against an amendment to a proposed bill that would prevent the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) from forcing credit reporting agencies to evaluate Americans based on political opinions or religious beliefs.

It 'prevented' something, what did it prevent? It prevented the credit reporting agencies from evaluating Americans based on politics or religion.

Yes, proposed bill would prevent them from doing that, and it says they voted against it? Just reading whats written.

You're still not reading that right, they voted against the CFPB FORCING credit agencies to check your politics or religion.
Read it again. Then read it one more time.
—The Bureau may not require, as a condition for a credit scoring model to satisfy the standards
established under subsection (a) or as a condition for determining a credit scoring model is appropriate under subsection (b), that a credit scoring model make use of information related to political opinions, religious expression

Actually, I think that WAS the full text. The 'and' at the end makes it seem as though there's more, but this is a section of text being inserted into an existing bill (and also striking another section out). The 'and' is simply joining it into the section of the actual bill that follows. The rest of the text is in the bill itself already.
The problem is finding where it lines up in the bill itself. Good luck, there are no page numbers.

The amendment is to prevent the bureau from using political opinion/religious expression as a condition to determine credit scoring. The amendment doesn't say anything about forcing them to use those criteria. It prevents them from using that criteria.

The article says 'forcing the CFPB', yes or no?
