[GPSCC-chat] Fwd: [occupy-san-jose] The end of California's mortgage nightmare starts now. Here's how

[Spencer Graves]

Hello, All:


       California Attorney General Kamala Harris is asking for our help 
in getting a "Homeowners Bill of Rights" through the California 
legislature.  Harris has been one of the leaders in the nation in the 
fight against the predatory banks.


       This "Homeowners Bill of Rights" is actually a collection of six 
bills, with bill numbers and a summary given in 
"http://oag.ca.gov/news/press_release?id=2641".


       I have read the summary but not the complete bills.  I believe 
that Atty Gen. Harris deserves our support, and I encourage you to go to 
"http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=7vkFFtWP5iA763%2FeSAfPm3dwpaNFje4r" 
and become a citizen "co-sponsor", as requested below.


       Spencer

Dear Susie,
This week, I stood with Assembly Speaker John Pérez and Senate President 
pro Tem Darrell Steinberg to introduce the*California Homeowners Bill of 
Rights*, which will bring fairness and transparency to mortgages in our 
state.
*Today, I’m writing to ask your help with this work.*Powerful special 
interests will oppose closing the mortgage loopholes that hurt 
homeowners. We need your help to get this bill to the governor's desk.
*Pledge to join myself and the ReFund California Coalition as a 
Co-Sponsor to pass the California Homeowners Bill of Rights. We’ll keep 
you informed and updated as the legislation advances.* 
<http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=yHfGFpQQvSdOQo3cexaTtXdwpaNFje4r>
We have all seen the results of a mortgage process that is stacked 
against the homeowner. From Stockton to Boyle Heights, from San 
Bernardino to Sacramento, our families and communities are suffering 
from a foreclosure crisis.*We need a mass movement to make calls, write 
letters, and mobilize Californians on their behalf.*
Last month, we extracted an $18 billion commitment from the banks for 
California. That was a life preserver for underwater homeowners.*Now we 
must fundamentally reform our broken mortgage system.*
*Join our movement for mortgage reform. Then, ask 5 friends to do so, 
too.* 
<http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=7vkFFtWP5iA763%2FeSAfPm3dwpaNFje4r>
*The Homeowners Bill of Rights restricts the insidious practice of "dual 
tracking," under which homeowners are seeking a loan modification from 
their bank -- and get foreclosed upon anyway. *It requires lenders to 
offer homeowners a single point of contact for questions about their 
mortgage, and imposes fines of up to $10,000 for “robo-signing.”
This work won’t be easy, but it will benefit families across the state. 
  Please raise your voice on their behalf.
*Sign on as a Co-Sponsor of the Homeowners Bill of Rights.*
