Stop Senate Republicans From Obstructing Efforts to Prevent Foreclosures
Target: U.S. Senate RepublicansSponsored 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 this week 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.

This is not about you. This is no about your rich backers. It is about Americans, and you're either for them, or against them.

Every effort must be made to prevent foreclosure so that Americans may be able to continue to live in their homes.

I'm a business owner, homeowner and voter. My neighborhood is pockmarked by empty houses that once were homes for people who had foreclosures, or who walked away from houses they could no longer afford. I've been picking up windblown trash from the empty one next door. People are angry with the present administration. If you want to keep your seat, I suggest working with the Democrats to pass legislation to end the foreclosure crisis.

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 obstructing the Democrats' efforts to prevent foreclosures. Democrats have united around a few core principles that should be a part of any plan to address this critical issue: We would rush emergency federal foreclosure prevention resources to nonprofit housing groups that are on the frontlines, fighting to keep families in their homes. Our plan would provide even more funding to city and state agencies working to help borrowers save their houses. Senate Democrats would enact tough new government oversight to end predatory lending. Finally, our plan would provide new assistance to creditworthy homeowners who need help refinancing now, before they get caught in the mortgage crunch. These common sense solutions aren't radical, they're just what's necessary. We won't accept any more obstructionism. Americans are losing their homes and they need help. Sincerely Vanessa Roebke

This crisis affects us all, not just homeowners. We, as taxpayers, are affected. Instead of paying billions for a war we don't have any business in, we should be taking care of our own citizens.
