Stop Senate Republicans From Stalling Efforts to Prevent Foreclosures

Target: U.S. Senate Republicans
Sponsored by: Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee
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.
deadline: Ongoing...
goal: 20,000

Our economy is on the very brink of recession and foreclosure rates have nearly doubled in the last year. Over 2 million Americans are at risk of losing their homes and losing their grip on the American Dream. Yet Senate Republicans are doing nothing to address the foreclosure crisis.

These foreclosures hurt us all. They damage an already teetering economy in a downward spiral of falling home values and decreased tax bases, and they put our friends and neighbors out of their homes.

We can't afford to sit around and wait for these issues to sort themselves out. We, the undersigned, urge Senate Republicans to stop delaying the Democrats' efforts to prevent foreclosures.
We signed the “Stop Senate Republicans From Stalling Efforts to Prevent Foreclosures” petition!

I believe the people stalling on solving this problem are hoping to take advantage of the situation. It's just another way of expanding the gap between the haves and the have-nots. Republicans are determined to wipe out the middle class and this is a crime & a sin!

Senate Republicans stop the political apathy about home foreclosures because more Americans will be forced to leave their homes and end up in homeless shelters. The high cost of rent can be more expensive than for home owners to retain their homes! People need a residence, stability and a safe neighorhood to live since these are basic human rights. There is already a high rate of homelessness in this country that must stop. If strong legislative measures aren't taken ASAP by temporarily holding high taxes so people can get caught up with their mortgage payments, and reducing mortgage payments especially if people were laid off from work, than more people will be forced out of their homes compromising the essence of American life due to home foreclosures that could be prevented!

I know people who are losing there homes because their gasoline bills have doubled and put them over the edge. Isn't it time that we help these people instead of letting all the foreclosures go to investors that ruin neighborhoods and just laugh all the way to the bank. People deserve every chance they can to hold onto their homes and the AMERICAN DREAM!!!
