  • Make Banks & Private Mortgage Companies work with Homeowners
    Banks received big bailouts with the implied idea that they must give consumers relief. Private mortgage companies may not have received a bailout, but with the economy still not rebounding fast enough people are still losing their homes at an alarming rate. Unfortuantely neither of them are required to work with homeowners facing hardships and or foreclosure. Please sign the petition to help people stay in their homes, enough is enough!

  • Stop discrimination against elderly coop homeowners!
    Homeowners over 65 years old are supposed to be able to get reverse mortgages guaranteed by HUD, called HECM's for short which stands for Home Equity Conversion Mortgages. In 2008 Congress included eligibility for seniors who are homeowners in cooperative housing. But so far HUD has failed to issue regulations which are needed to tell mortgage lenders how to handle HECM's for coops. Thus coop seniors like me cannot get the reverse mortgages for which we qualify in theory. This petition asks the White House to force HUD to do its job.

  • Tax the Church and all religous institutions
    Religious institutions have got a free ride long enough. They should pay taxes like any other business. What does separation of church and state mean if religious organizations are granted special privileges?

  • Cut the Deficit by Bringing Home the "No-Bid Contractors"
    "No-Bid Contracts" are not capitalism; they are "Fixed Capitalism." We need to quit spending money on other countries, like Iraq and Afghanistan, and spend that money on this nation's infrastructure to create badly needed jobs! We need to "Put Country First!"

    Currently it takes 60 votes for a bill to pass the Senate. This rule should be changed in order that a simple majority, 51 votes, would become law.

  • Relief For the average homeowner
    Several people have found refinancing options through signature assistance. Meantime the average homeowner who is struggling with stagnant wages and increased demands on wages is struggling. Include all mortgage owners in legislation to allow those who can barely keep up with FHA and HUD loans and traditional loans to refinance even if credit is short and cash to refinance traditionally is too.
