Foreclosure Defense Florida

WILL FLORIDA’S SENATORS DEFY THE PEOPLE AND CAVE TO THE BANKS?

The absurdly horrible piece of legislation that was originally called the Florida (un)FairForeclosure Act of 2012 is sitting like a stray, rabid cat just waiting to get released out of its holding cage and left free to run wildly around the Florida Senate chambers.

There has been a remarkable outpouring of opposition to this bill, with untold thousands of phone calls, emails and personal contacts made by attorneys, consumer groups, activists and just good concerned citizens.

It became very clear that this bill had   major problems during last week’s Senate Banking and Insurance Committee meeting when good Senators from both parties expressed their concerns.   The last day this bill could be heard is this Friday and if it’s not put on the calendar, then the bill is dead for this session. Yes, there are rules, but in this state they can suspend their own rules and this mess could be up for a vote even until the very last minute.

So keep the pressure up, keep the phone calls and the emails going.   Whatever the outcome, there is a true honor roll of good Senators who listened to their voters and voted against this thing.   The true hero is Pasco County Senator Mike Fasano, followed by Senator Steve Oelrich, then Senators Margolis and Sobel.   An honorable mention goes out to Senator Michael Bennett of Manatee County who voted for it, but expressed real reservations, we count them all as Friends of Justice!

On the House side, we recognize all 17 who voted against this abomination but most especially, we should all recognize a true hero and friend to consumers, Darren Soto.

When this session ends, no matter how this vote goes down, we will all get together and devote as much attention to supporting those who stood up for Justice as we have toward defeating this bill.

We’re almost there, the finish line is in sight…..
