Hello, All: <br>
<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
<br>
This "Homeowners Bill of Rights" is actually a collection of
six bills, with bill numbers and a summary given in "<a
href="http://oag.ca.gov/news/press_release?id=2641">http://oag.ca.gov/news/press_release?id=2641</a>".
<br>
<br>
<br>
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
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=7vkFFtWP5iA763%2FeSAfPm3dwpaNFje4r">"http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=7vkFFtWP5iA763%2FeSAfPm3dwpaNFje4r"</a>
and become a citizen "co-sponsor", as requested below. <br>
