THE AD HOC NATIONAL NETWORK TO STOP FORECLOSURES AND EVICTIONS BAIL OUT PEOPLE BEFORE BANKS
THE MORTGAGE BANKERS ASSOCIATION (MBA)— the biggest national lobby of all the banks—including the criminal predatory lenders, that are busy evicting your neighbors, relatives, friends and maybe you from your home—is holding it's annual policy conference in Washington D.C., on April 16 and 17. Their main goal is to make sure that bankers continue to get bailed out while families get tossed out!
Losing our homes: A NATIONAL EMERGENCY: And it's getting worse. One in every 4 subprime mortgage victims are either in or near foreclosure. Soon, almost 10% of the homes of working families across the country could be in foreclosure. For these families, this isn't a recession—it's a depression and a national emergency that calls for emergency measures.
A mORATORIUM ON FORECLOSURES & EVICTIONS —politicians have the authority to do it. Many may not realize that Governors, State Legislatures, the President and Congress (as well as the department of Housing and Urban Development) have the statutory authority to declare a moratorium on home foreclosures and evictions during a time of either natural or economic emergency disaster (it's important to include evictions because record numbers of renters are also losing their apartments).
This fight is for all of us. Come to D.C. on April 16 bring a bus, van, or a carload of people. Whether you are directly effected by the home foreclosure epidemic, or just outraged that the Government seems ready to give hundreds of billions of dollars to rescue banks from failing while doing nothing for those who are losing their homes, join people from around the country in Washington, D.C. on April 16 to shake up the bankers and wake up the government. Let's not wait until we're all homeless.
