Millions of Americans are losing their homes in the worst foreclosure crisis in recent memory, and the Bush Republicans in Washington are content to sit on their hands.
That's not good enough for the American people, so Democrats are doing everything we can to rush federal assistance to people devastated by the mortgage crisis. But again, George Bush threatened to veto House legislation to provide immediate assistance to those in need.
You can help us show our opponents that the American people are serious about solving these problems. Please sign our petition and join our efforts today.
We signed the “Stop Senate Republicans From Stalling Efforts to Prevent Foreclosures” petition!

Republicans should stop and smell the rotting roses. Help out in handling the foreclosures going on in the entire US. The middle class and low income families are the ones affected and seldom are the wealthy. These families are just but trying to have a piece of the American dream!

It is time you help the people and not the the large financial institutions. I find it unconscionable that the only people being help are the poepl that have money. I have friends that have had their interest rate raise and are receiving no help....for property they have owned for 25 years. Enough of helping the rich...it is time to help the everyday person!

Its enough that your not doing anything! But for goodness's sake, at least let the others who ARE trying to do something about it, accomplish what they must! To not let the Dems help cut foreclosures is just...despicable!
Do whats morally right and what politics SHOULD BE about.

You should also be concerned about the rural communities that are suffering loses not counted in foreclosure statistics since much of the housing isn't covered by conventional mortgages.

We are a nation built on the buliding blocks of home and family. Having your own home is thebasic goal of americans.
I am in the finance business. We prayed on this dream. I bought a home at a very emotional phase of my life. If I had not been in the business I would have done a AIr. Please , We have fought many wars to keep our dream alive. Step up and do what you can do.

Home foreclosures hurt not only those who lose their homes, it hurts all Americans by contracting the economy, which means less production, fewer jobs and less wealth for everyone. Not just Main St, but even banks and Wall Street will feel some pain. So remember your well-to-do campaign contributors, and help end foreclosures before all Americans suffer financially.

Allowing foreclosures to run rampant reinforces the harshest Darwinism defining Republican policy, which is "Only the Fittest Should Survive".
Senate Republicans – Doing nothing about the foreclosure crisis is as good as taking both hands and shredding the very fabric this country is made of.
I urge you to take action and stem the torrent of foreclosures!

Having once lost a home in foreclosure I owned just before getting married because shortly afterwards my young husband got drafted before the home was put in both of our names, I know the heartbreak & the sense of displacement the millions who are facing this tragedy must feel. We all know that in most cases it was plain greed that brought about many of the loans made to uninfromed buyers. Part of the change in politics we need & need now is help for these families.
