[GPSCC-chat] Your attendance is requested this Friday, 17 Aug, 9 AM and Sat. 15 Sept. 1-4 PM re. foreclosures

[Spencer Graves]

Hello, All:


FRIDAY, 9 AM, 17 AUGUST:  REQUEST RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST BANK OF 
AMERICA ATTORNEY, SANTA CLARA COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT, DEPT. 18, 161 NORTH 
FIRST STREET, SAN JOSÉ, CA


       An important hearing is scheduled for 9 AM this Friday, 17 August 
in Santa Clara County Superior Court, Dept. 18, 161 North First Street 
in San Jose:  David (Merritt) is requesting a restraining order against 
Goliath (Attorney James Goldberg representing Bank of America, et al.) 
in response to alleged unprofessional and illegal physical and verbal 
assault on David and Salma Merritt and witnesses during a court-ordered 
deposition of Salma Merritt.


       We all want to believe that our courts are fair and impartial.  
Unfortunately, most major incumbent politicians these days have been 
elected with massive "contributions" from big money, who on average 
receive massive returns on those investments estimated at between $6 and 
$220 for each $1 invested in lobbying and political campaigns.[1]  
Judicial appointments are often made based on the preferences of major 
campaign contributors.[2]


       Your presence in the courtroom at that time might help the judge 
to interpret any ambiguity in the law in favor of David.


SATURDAY, 1 - 4 PM, 15 SEPTEMBER:  FORECLOSURE SUMMIT, NEW COMMUNITY OF 
FAITH, 6350 RAINBOW DRIVE, SAN JOSÉ, CA


       A Foreclosure Summit is scheduled for Saturday, 15 Sept., 1-4 PM, 
at the New Community of Faith church, 6350 Rainbow Drive, San Jose, CA, 
co-sponsored by Occupy San José, the Green Party of Santa Clara County, 
and others.  The program will consist of presentations by leaders in the 
fight against illegal foreclosures, followed by small group discussions 
of the issues and ending with an open discussion of the possible next 
steps.  For more information, see "Foreclosure Summit", 
occupy.pbworks.com 
(http://occupy.pbworks.com/w/page/54238941/Foreclosure%20Summit).


       In Santa Clara County alone, an estimated 24 families have lost 
their homes every day since Oct. 2007.  This crisis is forecasted to 
continue through 2015.  I believe that concerned citizens can reverse 
this trend and roll back the changes in law over the past 35 years, 
especially the repeal of Glass-Steagall in 1999, that have given the 
finance industry a third of US domestic corporate profits since 2000 and 
restore sanity and stability to international finance.  However, we 
cannot do it alone.


       Best Wishes,
       Spencer
