• Illinois Legislatures: Pass Homeowner Bill of Rights!
    Hundred's of thousands of families in Illinois have faced the painful, devastating process of foreclosure. Homeowner's in Illinois still have no recourse to save their homes.

(2) Create Civil remedies to penalize servicers for any material violations. (3) Require servicers to offer modification to all eligible homeowners. (4) Require servicers to assist homeowners in submitting documentation regarding the foreclosure process. (5) Prohibit servicers from Robosigning. (6) Restrict servicers from Dual-Tracking. (7) Provide stricter underwriting standards for federally insured HECM (Reverse Mortgages) loans. (8) Prohibit HUD from reinstating the HECM (Reverse Mortgages) standard fixed-rate full draw mortgage. (9) Institute preventative measures to decrease the following risks for borrowers taking out Reverse Mortgages: Delinquent Taxes; Falling behind on homeowners insurance; and Home loss to foreclosure.

  • Protect the People's Voice!
    Nearly 70% of Ben Sasse's campaign financing has come from outside of Nebraska, with another $1.5 million coming from PACs who don't have to disclose their donors. Hardworking Nebraskans deserve honest representation in Congress. We need a Senator who will work in the interest of Nebraskans, not out-of-state donors.

  • Humana denies rehab illegally in Texas
    My boyfriend, (age41) suffered a massive stroke not quite a year ago. Humana has started denying his rehab even though his attending physician has deemed it medically necessary. Casey continues to show progress and has proven his ability to keep up with the rehab. TxHB2929 states that he can not be denied rehabilitation so long as his attending physician deems it medically necessary. Please tell Humana and CEO Bruce D. Broussard that they must adhere to the law.

  • Governor Brown: Protect Our Homes and Families from Pipeline Explosions & Nuclear Meltdown
    PG&E took money which was supposed to upgrade their gas pipelines and used it on executive pay and profits, resulting in the explosion which killed eight people and destroyed a neighborhood in San Bruno. And recently, emails have surfaced which reveal a cozy culture of collusion between PG&E and the agency which is supposed to regulate it, the Public Utilities Commission (PUC). On top of that, both PG&E and the California PUC seem to be ignoring the recent report from Nuclear Regulatory Commission inspector Dr. Michael Peck, calling attention to newly-discovered earthquake faults near PG&E’s Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant which could result in a meltdown similar to Fukushima, Japan, and deadly radioactive fallout across America. You will be sending a message to Peevey and Gov. Brown by signing the petition, and you can also give them your individual comments as you sign. (Note: sources of information will be furnished on request.)

  • Investigate the New York Federal Reserve Over Secret Tapes
    The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is facing accusations that it showed "extreme deference" to Goldman Sachs, a bank it is supposed to oversee. The New York branch of the Federal Reserve system is in charge of regulating the biggest Wall Street banks. However, the Fed has been accused of being too cozy with the banks it is supposed to oversee. For example, during the run-up to the 2008 financial collapse and subsequent $700 billion bailout, the Fed gave trillions of dollars in then-secret aid to banks, firms and even Caterpillar, a tractor company.[1] The latest allegations resulted when a whistleblower - a former examiner at the Fed - gave 46 hours of secret tapes to NPR's "This American Life" and the investigative journalists at ProPublica. The tapes allegedly reveal that the Fed failed to take action on "a deal that the top Fed guy stationed inside Goldman called ‘legal but shady.’"[2] The Fed has denied the whistleblower’s claims. In response to the secret tapes, Senator Elizabeth Warren (MA), who chaired the Congressional investigation into the Wall Street bailout in 2008, has called for oversight hearings. She has been joined by fellow Senate Banking Committee member Sherrod Brown (OH).[3] As Senator Warren said in calling for the hearings: “It’s our job to make sure our financial regulators are doing their jobs.”[4] Please support her call for Congress to investigate the relationship between the New York Fed and banks like Goldman Sachs.

  • Allow Us Our First Amendment Rights, Allow DIscussion of Salary in the Workplace
    By blocking bills allowing employees to discuss pay, and thus narrowing the pay gap, Congress is denying Americans their First Amendment rights. The government cannot pick and choose what aspects of speech we have a right to discuss. The government cannot choose which amendments it can be lax on, and which ones they are going to strictly enforce. All should be enforced equally, including the First.
