  • A tale of two financial 2008 Collapses
    Iceland; "Prime Minister indicted, 200 criminal charges against bank executives, Allowed Banks to FAIL, Forgave homeowners debt exceeding 110% of home value." U.S.A. ; " Zero criminal charges, Banks bailed out, Executives given Bonuses, Millions of foreclosures. VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uY9CVDsbxAc "FINALLY someone (other than me) said it --- if the banks were lying at least 75% of the time to the regulators, pension funds, insurance companies, credit default swap counterparties --- obviously the most sophisticated people in the world of finance --- why do we suddenly turn the table over and play blame the victim when it comes to origination of the loan? Nothing could be more obvious than that the loans were nearly all based upon layers of lies, each layer seemingly supporting or corroborating the other, despite the fact that none of it was true." The GAME is to BLAME the borrower NOT the true thieves THE BANKSTERS! http://truth-out.org/video/item/14484-judge-rules-against-bank-precedent-could-cost-bank-of-america-billions http://livinglies.wordpress.com/2013/02/12/75-of-the-loans-and-bonds-were-based-on-lies-livinglies/

  • Petition to Keep Congress Square Park Public
    For the past year, the four councilors of the Housing and Community Development Committee (HCDC) have been hearing proposals from Rockbridge Capitol LLC, a national investment corporation specializing in renovating and then reselling hotels for a return on their investment. Rockbridge has offered two proposals to build upon Congress Square Park, both of which have been rejected. A third proposal has been promised to the HCDC since August of 2012 and has yet to materialize. Meanwhile the city-formed committee, the Congress Square Redesign Study Group (CSRSG) has been waiting in the wings to continue on with its work to revitalize the park. The goal of this petition is to prove public support for keeping Congress Square Park a public park. This proof will be presented to the HDCD to persuade them to drop the negotiations with Rockbridge and let the CSRSG continue on with the redesign on the park. Congress Square Park is the only public park in Portland's downtown arts district. The city's own vision plan refers to it as "the Heart of the Arts district". Never in the history of Portland have we sold one of our public parks. Let's not start now.

  • Fannie Mae: Don't evict our neighbor!
    Fannie Mae, the government-backed mortgage giant, is trying to evict our neighbor Vicenta Ortiz and her young children. Vicenta was foreclosed after being unfairly denied a modification on her predatory loan. A non-profit has offered to buy the home from Fannie Mae for current value and allow Ms. Ortiz and her family to stay in their Lynn, MA home with affordable payments. Instead, Fannie Mae is pushing forward with the eviction case. Details at http://www.LynnUnited.org/fannie-mae

  • Break up the mega-corporations into individual companies
    In 1974 the Justice Department (under Nixon) sued AT&T in an antitrust suit and won. They successfully split the Bell System into individual units. If this same model is used against todays corporations, millions of new middle class jobs will be created plus real opportunities for small business to succeed.

  • Restore Equality to Facebook: Stop "Promoted Posts"!
    Late in 2012, Facebook began using "promoted posts" in both business pages and personal accounts, forcing you to pay money to actually have a majority of your friends or fans see your posts. If your business has 1,000 "likes", it now requires $25/post just to have all 1,000 of your fans see that particular post. For larger businesses, it can cost thousands of dollars for a SINGLE POST to reach the majority of your fanbase! With a personal account, to reach 80% of your friends, you must now pay $7/post. If you have 500 friends and DON'T promote a post, less than half will actually have it show up in their newsfeeds. For both business and individual/personal pages, you should NEVER have to pay any amount of money for your friends or fans to see what you post. Businesses already can pay for new fans through targeted marketing. They should NOT have to pay to reach the fans they already have! As this trend increases, the majority of your newsfeed will be taken over by corporate advertising.

  • Tax Wall Street Transactions
    Let's insist that Wall Street be accountable for their role in destroying our economy. Right now, these reckless traders continue to jeopardize our country with ongoing money scams and banks that are still too big to fail. Is there any reason they shouldn't be taxed on their trades like every other business is? No. Demand immediate taxes on the fat cats' trades and put the funds towards the deficit.
