Unpaid Taxes by big banks using robo-signed documents have foreclosed properties fraudulently, impacting the County budget for police, fire and education services. Big banks must prove they own the note/mortgage according to AB 1602 and SB 1470, effective 1/1/13. Fraudulent foreclosures must be reported by the Recorder to the CA Attorney General.

$30 million in of out-of-state money poured into the Baldwin-Thompson Senate race, as corporate CEOs and wealthy individuals from across the country unleashed a torrent of money to influence what happened right here in Wisconsin. Now, we have an opportunity to take our democracy back, by building on the movement to reverse the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision that equated corporations with people and money with speech: Sign our petition to demand a statewide citizen's vote on the disastrous Citizens United ruling.

Yes, I've been affected. I feel I am the victim of a nasty employer and am paying for her disgruntled position. I'm a non paid care-giver. I also work part-time. I'm an underpaid worker, and get paid every two weeks...my take home pay goes to my bills and I barely have funds to get to work the following week. I have a set plan with AT&T, and somehow, my phone bills are escalated to 50 to 100 dollars over the original plan...I'm not much of a talker except with my family and my 90 year old mother and family whom are upset that they haven't been able to get in touch with me since my service has been interrupted. I've spent longer than an hour on the phone with AT&T, made arrangements with them to pay my bill. Gave them access to my account in which they claim they couldn't access...and then AT&T tried to claim I hadn't paid my bill since February...I have records and bank statements saying I've paid. AT&T are constantly tacking on fees and charging me for 'over'data usage and it's making it difficult to have them as a consumer. Since I've acquired their services 2 years ago, it's been nothing but constant calls to them without much satisfactory results, except more payments to them out of my pocket that I can't afford.

The most amazing thing just happened. The Obama Administration finally admitted the truth of what we’ve been saying all along: giant Wall Street banks have become too big to prosecute. In testimony on Wed, March 6, US Attorney General Eric Holder – the nation’s top cop – said, “I am concerned that the size of some of these institutions becomes so large that it does become difficult for us to prosecute them … I think that is a function of the fact that some of these institutions have become too large."[1] Exactly. Now we understand why the Obama Administration has failed to bring criminal charges against a single major Wall Street bank or executive for systemic fraud that brought down our economy. When the Attorney General openly admits that the most powerful members of society won't be prosecuted for even the most egregious of crimes, we are in deep trouble as a nation. Remember that we gave Wall Street bankers $700 billion in TARP bailouts and $2.5 trillion in investments, loans, and guarantees to shore up their business (and outrageous bonuses) [2] on the theory that letting them collapse would create a generation-long Depression. In return it seems fair to demand accountability for the actions that brought us to that point. Now it turns out the Administration never had any intention of seeking accountability. That’s why we’re demanding an immediate end to this unconscionable policy that puts the wishes of Wall Street 1%ers above the well-being of working families, most especially those hardest hit by the criminal actions of these very same people. The Campaign for a Fair Settlement has been pushing hard during the first hundred days of President Obama’s second term for real accountability for the Wall Street criminals who stole our homes, savings, and pensions and destroyed our economy. We think this is the only way he’ll secure his legacy as a champion of justice for the millions of homeowners, taxpayers and retirees harmed by Wall Street criminals. This revelation makes this all the more urgent. Stand up and demand Pres. Obama take immediate steps to break up the big banks and prosecute the criminals who used them to destroy our economy. It’s break up time. Now or never.

The victims of the bombing of the Murrah Bldg in OK City are being victimized again by the Oklahoma City Community Foundation. The Foundation withholds the money meant for the victims, diverted $4 million plus to other kinds of disaster relief. Nancy Anthony, president of the Foundation, pays herself $232,217 a year. The money should be distributed to the victims. Ken Feinberg volunteered pro bono to oversee distribution of the funds to the real bombing victims.

Grace Alexander, a 57-year-old grandmother from Newark, is struggling to save her home from Bank of America's foreclosure process. For more than two years, Grace has battled the big bank...and for more than two years Bank of America has given her the run around. Paperwork, phone calls, meetings…and even protests…have been met with nothing more than the runaround leading to wholly unrealistic offers from Bank of America. The greedy Wall Street bank’s most recent communication with Grace is a clear demonstration that they simply don’t care about Grace or the four generations of her family who have called the Newark house their home for the last 12 years. In a letter dated February 13th, 2013, Bank of America sent Grace Alexander an offensive reply to her request for a mortgage modification to save her home. Instead of working with her, Bank of America offered to INCREASE her monthly mortgage payment in a letter that began “You are on your way to a more affordable mortgage payment.” "I work for a living and I can pay a mortgage," says Grace. "But I cannot afford the inflated mortgage that I've been forced into, and I certainly can’t afford an increase to my monthly payment! Bank of America has the power and authority to save my home with the stroke of a pen. In fact, banks have the power to save the homes of all 100,000 NJ homeowners facing foreclosure this year by simply working with homeowners on principal write-downs." Surely Bank of America can do better for Grace – at the very least they should be better at math.

Universities such as university of Phoenix are preying on people giving them false hope about what they can do for them.

Naked short sellers trade what amount to counterfeit stocks, bonds, mortgages, and other investments.* They profit by running down the value of investments, flooding the market with as many as one billion phantom shares a day. Hedge funds and some of the nation’s largest banks are a part of this widespread fraudulent practice. The predatory, illegal activity takes advantage of a gaping hole in regulations, left open by a lack of oversight of electronic trading that can often occur in microseconds. Regulations and actions at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have only served to make victims more vulnerable while letting the illegal predators off the hook. Small businesses—the heart of the American entrepreneurial dream—have been the easiest targets, and naked short sellers have gotten away with attacking larger and larger companies, some of which were critical in the 2008 financial meltdown. But the dream of all Americans is hurt by naked short selling, from business owners to retirees, from homeowners to the now homeless, from workers to the unemployed or underemployed, and from retirees to their children and grandchildren. That’s because millions of American workers’ pensions, 401(k) savings, mortgages, and jobs have been the ultimate victims, and the entire financial capital structure remains vulnerable. We, the American people, will not stand for it anymore! It’s time to do something about bad Wall Street practices. The second Obama administration, new leadership at the SEC, and the new Congress must act. We call on the White House, legislators in both houses—including the Senate Banking Committee and the House Committee on Financial Services—the SEC and other regulators to immediately take all actions to stop naked short selling. Those actions should include, but are not limited to, the following: —Halt any and all trading that allows the predatory practice of naked short selling, and institute a “pre-borrow” rule to ensure that short sales are covered; —Create regulations that close all loopholes that allow or enable this practice; —Develop the means to immediately identify, flag, and stop traders and institutions who are practicing naked short selling; —Closely regulate and make transparent the institutions that execute and oversee the trading and clearing of stock, bond, and futures transactions, such as the Depository Clearing & Trust Corporation and hedge funds; —Work with exchanges globally to stop this practice; —Investigate, prosecute, and punish—at a level commensurate with the harm created—all traders and institutions that have and continue to practice naked short selling; —Provide real compensation for victims, including companies, investors, and workers. * Normally, short sellers borrow stock (or bonds, etc.) and sell it at market value. Then they wait for the price of the stock to go down and buy back the same number of shares. They return them to the original lender and make a profit on the difference in value. Naked short sellers sell fake shares that they fraudulently pretend to have borrowed, diluting the value of a company's stock (or bond, etc.) from the get-go by flooding the market with additional fake shares. For more information about naked short selling, and to help spread awareness about this predatory practice, please see and share the film about its history and efforts to stop it.

Even though Walmart's Sylvia Mathews Burwell is a Washington veteran, President Obama should NOT nominate her as his next budget director. Burwell left government to run the Walmart Foundation, the retail giant's philanthropic wing that strives to soften the fact that Walmart receives more than $1.2 billion in tax breaks, outsources American jobs, and denies its American employees full-time jobs, benefits, and over-time pay. To subsidize the paltry pay the average part-time Walmart worker earns, Walmart teaches its employees to apply for government assistance in the form of Medicaid and food stamps which 80% of Walmart's part-time employees must do to survive. Burwell's association with corporate America makes her unfit for the position of budget director.
