REMEMBER each and every Florida House & Senate member is up for reelection this year due to redistricting
CS passed as amended; YEAS 94, NAYS 17 Wednesday, February 29, 2012 12:04 PM
While it’s clear the legislature has already decided to pass this bill, we still have one last chance to voice our strong opposition.
VOTE NO TO SB 1890!
THIS BILL PROVIDES HARMFUL OR MISGUIDED SOLUTIONS TO A MASSIVE FLORIDIAN PROBLEM.
In Palm Beach County alone, there are 10,794 final judgments in foreclosure cases that are over one year old yet where the bank has not proceeded to sale. In almost every single one of these cases, a sale was set by a judge, cancelled by the bank, and then never reset DESPITE an estimated 90% being uncontested.
This study should be repeated in every county. It proves that there is much misunderstanding of the nature of Florida’s foreclosure crisis. The faster foreclosure bill, SB 1890, is a misguided attempt to solve a problem that has not been fully studied or understood while undermining due process rights and property rights of millions of Floridian citizens. We all know that the misrepresentation of this bill being limited to “abandoned” homes is a slick bait-and-switch. We all know how abusive the financial services industry is to citizens. The financial services industry has a clear, unbroken track record of violating laws and settlement agreements. We all know this.
In addition, the legislature’s ostrich approach to foreclosure fraud and widespread property ownership document fraud is offensive. Instead of protecting citizens harmed by a pervasive, deeply damaging fraud our elected officials are legislating the polar opposite, methods for the fraud to be perpetrated faster and smoother while dispossessing millions from their homes during a crushing economy.

Any law repugnant to the Constitution is null and void. Supreme court ruling. Should be the same for state supreme court.
We need to hold these elected people accountable, and not just at election time. If they are committing treason, we need to have them arrested. If they are taking away our rights that are secured by the constitution – limiting their power, then we have a right to remove them from office. Physically by arrest. Do a Citizens arrest. Needs three notarized signatures. If we do not stand up for our rights, we have none! WE,THE PEOPLE, are superior to these elected people. Enough with the corruption, do what they did in Sicily – arrested ALL corrupt politicians, etc. Huge event going on there right now. Of course not reported on main stream media. The island is taking back their government from the corrupt mafia.
This is what we need to do here. Before it’s too late.
Matt,
If I knew enough about how to create a good website, I would create a site dedicated to REMOVING FROM OFFICE any Florida Senator or Representative that votes in favor of this unfair bill. If you are willing to something like that, or know of anyone that could, I would happily offer my time & ideas to help out.
We need to send the message that we will support only those candidates that go to Tallahassee to represent the best interests of our citizens. The banks may have the money, but we still own our votes! Hey, that sounds like a good motto!
Petition to stop these Bills. The more people that sign this petition, the more power we present to the Legislature.
