“You can put wings on a pig, but you don't make it an eagle.” ~Bill Clinton

THE FLORIDA BANKERS ARE COMING BACK WITH A NON-JUDICIAL BILL AGAIN. Let's start working on this now!

AND JUDICIAL ELECTIONS in FLORIDA: August 24, 2010. Check your state here: http://judgepedia.org/index.php/States

You can call a proposed bill the Florida Consumer Protection and Homeowner Credit Rehabilitation Act but that doesn't make it protect diddly-squat except the bankers' coffers.~Lisa E.

4/7/2010 UPDATE: Civics Lesson #1 The Life and Times of Bill (aka: The Loss of Constitutional Rights Happening Right Before Our Very Eyes) http://ning.it/bSg1Vg

2/24/10 Update: Florida Bankers Announce: SPONSOR FOUND! We're starting out with a new bill under a new name! Introducing THE NON-JUDICIAL FORECLOSURE ACT FOR NON-HOMESTEADED PROPERTIES to Dramatically Speed Up the Foreclosure Process by Changing FL to a NON JUDICIAL STATE. The bill, enshrouded in a cloud of smoke, appears to apply to non-homesteads, but a superficial glance reveals the truth behind the curtain.…

See the right side bar of this link to give the bill's sponsor Florida State Senator Michael Bennett a piece of your mind!

Let's clear up any confusion and call this bill the Florida Bankers' Association's Bill of Flagrant Self-Interest.

Here are my suggestions for legislation that would truly be coterminous with the appellation Florida Consumer Protection due to it possessing some teeth and offer true protections for Floridians facing illegal foreclosures (which were preceeded by fraud from origination through the foreclosure).

Thank you J# for your time, efforts, and gifted creativity!

OKAY ALL YOU FLORIDIANS!

LET'S GET OUR FAX & EMAIL ON!

Print these out. Fax, email, mail, post, leaflet, paper, and confetti our state with our cause.
