REALLY, Please post why you aren't signing the Petitions???

[nkmorgan55]

First let me say that I am an activist and have been before any of us encountered these economic meltdowns and mess with modifications. My history dates back to the 60's. I in fact did sign these petitions as well as having met in person with my elected representatives because I do act. Secondly I have received two extremely hard fought modifications and remain on this board AND helping others in my community even though I have prevailed.
Now to address the concern with people not signing. I did not like the calling out of people who were simply reflecting on the true reasons that they should sign and in examining the documents carefully. Just as I do not let the banks pressure and intimidate me I do not want members of this board to berate me because I take a careful measured look at the facts and the purpose etc. I thought our purpose was to help each other be successful and not to divide our ranks with peevishness. I believe we need a different approach of encouragement and discussion and not what we got from some members.

My last point is that my senator Roland Burris send a response back indicating that he and Senator Durbin were addressing these issues. Earlier I had the assurances of my representative and our attorney general as well. Thanks and that is the end of my rant.

thanks Moe,

It'd be great to get in touch. You can reach me at richard[AT]fladdap.com AZ suggested I reach out.

Also have a fairly active site at Front Page | Shitheadery and 10,000 followers at @capedshitheader (hey the name works)

Besides, if current staff isn't working out, who knows ... ;-)

By the way, I've had sveral Beck - Malkin - Hannity rants ... and I never apologized for those. Ever.

I agree. We're here to help each other not pressure and intimidate. Thanks for your post!

I agree with what you have said about not being berated. I also want to state that if you have received these "assurances" from your elected official and are satisfied, good for you. I however am not happy with my elected officials from Georgia.

I have received no communications from them and until that time comes I will continue to send letters reminding them that they were sent into public office by the people of Main Street and they should be listening to their cries for help.

My style of activism seems to be quite different from yours. You are taking their word for the fact that they are "handling" these issues. I do not see that any of them are helping us.

I would like them to come on the forum and speak for themselves. Address these issues and tell us directly what they are doing to "Handle these issues". Why would they send you, someone who has posted 4 times to answer for them??? This is cowardly and a complete avoidance of their responsibilities as elected officials.

I don't think they even REALLY know what the issues are from our perspective and it appears they DO NOT CARE!!

Sounds great Richard. I saw your blogs last week and thought it was great. The name etc is fitting because of the shitheads you cover.

I just know there are a lot of Fox, Beck, Hannity fans here and they may take these as a personal attack. My goal is to hopefully open everyone eyes that NO corporate media is really on Main Street's side. Heck, they have ads to market and big, BIG $alarie$ to pay.

OK, back to the petition.

Has any media responded???

Comment:

Thank you for getting our voices heard for our reality on Main Street.
Having gotten into my predatory loan on a lie, to months of working with my servicer before it adjusted that result was more lies, false hope that ultimately set my family up for foreclosure. Make no mistake that is their goal. The result for working hard, doing the best we could making all our payments until it adjusted was the worst emotional hell I have ever been through. I have begged for honesty and straight answers, but realized that will never happen. If the powers that be do not step in and make them accountable for their hidden agenda's homeowners are the ones that keep losing. It is amazing to me how long the process takes to get denied help or the scam to pretend your being helped from high interest rates to the perfect timing on banks/servicers end to get your home to auction. All this started to scam American's with no real change to stop it. Forgive me for being tired of broken promises and no accountability for them. I wish anyone who got a loan set up to fail there was a way to stop this with a simple fix for these loans and give America their lives and dreams back. At the very least a level playing field. What we get now are rules that change so no matter what you do you lose,

OK we made it to the front of the "Housing Crisis" Section. More traffic means the Business Section, then on to the Front Page - reach out.

Housing Crisis : Pictures, Videos, Breaking News

And Moe, no disrespect intended to you: I don't care who anyone is a fan of. We all make our choices. This is not a question of fans, talking heads, or political allegiances. It's every man for himself and we have to advocate for ourselves and force them to listen. We've been doing this for a year and finally might have a mod we can live with - we may be back in the middle class. You know, one income and can buy a steak every once in a while.
It took us going to war every day (EVERY DAY) for a year. Was it worth it? I'm still deciding. If it doesn't help to inspire others it really wasn't. But I do know this. We got what we got because we wouldn't go away and made noise and yelled until they shut us up. It's not over we still have a little fight yet, but we're almost there and I can live with that for now. I'm not here for me - and that's not martyrdom - it's why we fought and went public to begin with. YOU HAVE TO FIGHT!!!! And when you fight you have be be prepared to lose.

I can't believe a statement like "If it comes to choosing between my freedom or my house you can have my house."

If I have my freedom I can get another house. If all I have is government I get what they tell me

Your comment: "So far all the press has been on every radical left wing blog and board."

I'll respond with: Why isn't the right talking about this? Why isn't FOX covering foreclosures, with the exception of Hannity telling Moore that it was greedy homeowners trying to get rich that caused this mess. He was referring to us.


Where's your freedom going? What happened to it? Oh, that's right. The liberal socialist communist marxist na*is took it away. Or they're trying right? They're in a huge race to strip us all of our freedom with health care, and laws. Big scary laws.

You're given one chance to fight and that time is now. For whom the bell tolls, ask not what your country ... and all that. Screw who's in office. Obama the magic negro is in office who cares. Make some noise and get this thing to congress with 1,000,000 signatures and I guarantee you even Glenn Beck will cover it and call it a Tea Party.

I was on the fence about this. Posted the petition to two forums. Your comments gave me my decision. your the face of the government now being implemented. As is those who think they know everything.

No thanks . I'll keep my freedom and fight for it. And my house while i may still be allowed to have one.

[lemaudit]

Don't denegrate me slim!
I am homeowner fighting for my home against anyone who tries to take it. I have no party alegience. It's sad that you don't see that. I write where I write because it's a platform. Nothing more.

Nope. The lobbyists are telling the government what you can have and what not...

Lobbyism rules this country - not "We, The People"...That's a thing of the past.

[mintdeer]

I just signed it and sent it on its way! Thank you to whomever put this together! I think I will also send a copy to my lovely lender

Check out the elections tonight and tell me that. Were taking it back. And we'll be in DC Thursday!! The Commie behind the curtain has been found out.

[nativelasvegan]

thanks mintdeer. We hope this petition gets a lot of circulation. Together we stand..... you know the rest. We can make a difference. I don't think it is too difficult for all of us together to believe that things need to change. Thanks again for signing the petition. The more signatures we have, the better chance we are a force to be recognized.

Who is "we"? The Republican Party? The puppets of the health insurance companies? That's a good one..

OMG, gone 6 hours and look what happens. . .

This is not a party fight, there are no right politicians or wrong politicians. There are effective politicians on both sides of the isle. There are those that stand firm for the people that they represent, and those that allow their party lines to dictate their behavior and thier votes -- and those include the lobbiests that give and give and give to parties to hide their dirty work.

THIS CRISIS is about the Amerian People. Homeowners, tax payers, businesses and employees. Wall Street, Main Street. Middle America was most heavily impacted because we are the bulk of the class structure. But, make no mistake, everyone was impacted. A handful of the richest, got richer, everyone else has suffered as a result of the fruad and risks taken by our insurance and mortgage industries.

This is about a cry for CHANGE from the masses. This is not about the specific WORDS in the document/petition, it's about having a VOICE that says THERE NEEDS TO BE A CHANGE. THIS IS BROKEN AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

Please stop with the political pointing -- sign the petition. Leave a note about the Huffington Article -- we need a VOICE.

DO IT!



Peace and love

[lemaudit]

nicely said AZ


I needed more characters in my post.
