H.R.25 Fair Tax Act of 2007
- JeStoneIV : It's a tax on new goods. How could someone go to a store and say, reprogram your cash register so I don't have to pay the Fair Tax. Definitely not likely. The only way to be exempt from paying the Fair Tax is not to shop.
- JeStoneIV : State Income Tax would not be repealed. 16 More

H.R.1427 Federal Housing Finance Reform Act of 2007
- mrihel : I just can't seem to slog through all this. Anyone want to make this a bit clearer for me? -1 More

H.R.3609 Emergency Home Ownership and Mortgage Equity Protection Act of 2007
- Anonymous : Sick of hearing the word "victim?" buying a house is speculation? These people aren't speculators, they are homebuyers - everyday people like me and (supposedly) you. Myabe picking a doctor would be speculation in your eyes too? Maybe then if a doctor leaves a sponge in your chest cavity then you wouldn't be a victim? By your logic, we were speculating on our health, right? Get off your right-wing white-collar butt and work three jobs trying to support someone other than yourself of your waistline. These people were burned - and theycertainly are victims. Try being one, and you'll maybe begin to understand.
- Anonymous : Of all the legislation out there that tries to deal with the problem with primary residences and preventing the properties from going into foreclosure, this is the most direct and simple approach for dealing with the oversight in our chapter 13 laws. Striking 1322(b)(2) with regards to undue protection of loans made on principal residences is highly appropriate. Hopefully this legislation will experience forward momentum soon. It already cost our economy and homeowner quite considerably because of the delay of stalling this legislation for so long. 32 More

H.R.3915 Expand and Preserve Home Ownership Through Counseling Act
- margereis : It is not only sub prime loans that are the culprit. My disabled son and myself were put into a loan we could not afford. I started having second thoughts about the loan and wanted to back out and was told I could possibly be sued. Everyone knew I was not happy the way things were going but they just kept prompting me along with my son. We are now about to go into foreclosure and the good credit we had to be able to buy a home we could afford is long gone. The only solution the bank could come up with is We now don't qualify to save the loan so they suggested we put the home up for sale. When I asked the broker who was working with me to relist it He said he did not think he could sell it now. What now????
- textdog : I was in Philadelphia in 2002-2003 when Bush came to speak and mentioned the predatory lending industry and how they mus tbe stopped. I watched him on this issue after he mentioned it and I guess he didn't find anything he could do to stop what was happening. Living in Philadelphia where there were hundreds of signs seeking out low-income residents for sub-prime loans, I felt like the least we could do was take down those signs in poor neighborhoods. 0 More

H.R.5830 Expand and Preserve Home Ownership Through Counseling Act
- opinionatedlady1972 : The only way we can stabilize anything in thsi economy is to re-educate consumers on how to use money correctly, cap interest rates on home, car and credit purchases to below 10%, have the government intervene with oil company profits, the government also needs to focus on rebuilding this country with strong values. It has run wild and there is no respect amongst our youth, we lag behind in technology growth, to much outsourcing, not enough jobs, cost of living rising, all this will increase all the negatives.....theft, homelessness, agression, fear, confidence ect...Are we living in HELL? I think we are coming close. This will be a very viscious cycle we will live to see and it will not be pretty. the new president will have lots to do, rebuild relationships destroyed by Bush and his horrible decisions, rebuild the economy, address healthcare, address energy concerns, Global warming....we have waited too long and have spent way to much time on other poeple problems,..get back to basics...focus on the USA and USA only!!! The peolpe here will soon be on those charitable commercials for funds....that's where we are heading. Will we become a third world country?????
- KenBrandel : Help, this is all I ask. I am one of those who, in time will lose their home. I was one who gambled that the market would stay up. My gamble lost and now I am trying to find a solution before everything falls apart. The United States is in its worst time. Our dollar amounts to very little in the rest of the world. Our people are becoming homeless because they were lead to believe that the market was still good and they had nothing to worry about. We are fighting a war that we will never win and it's costing us trillions of dollars. Everybody was having too much fun and didn't realize that what goes up must come down. What do we do? There are millions of us that are going to be homeless with our families in tow. Again, I ask for help. 6 More

S.Res.572 S.Res.572
- ejohnson777 : It comes as no surprise that the People's Republic of California judicial system would even be wasting taxpayer dollars on such a clear constitutional right as home schooling. California is so far out of the mainstream it's hard to believe they are even relevant to current events these days.
- salaud : The issue here is more that the government should stay out of whether parents (or anyone) needs a teaching license to home school. But, the bigger issue is that we should move beyond children as chattel. Allow the young people to direct and choose their own education and living environment. 0 More

But today the nation’s public defender system has become a mockery of justice. To provide an accused with a public defender who has three hundred other cases to defend is simply to laugh in the face of both justice and the accused himself. It takes me months to prepare the average criminal case for trial. The trial itself can take weeks, even months. While O.J. Simpson was being tried in Los Angeles for murder, a case that cost millions to defend and months to conclude, another black man was being tried in the same courthouse for a similar murder. It took only three days for a jury to find him guilty. He had a public defender with scores of other cases to defend. Many prosecutors boast that they have over a 90 percent conviction rate. Little wonder. Under the present public defender system the prosecutors should enjoy one hundred percent convictions, and many in fact approach perfect conviction rates. The public defenders in seven states have finally refused to take on any new cases. It’s about time. If I walked into court to defend my client and had never talked him, never previously opened his file, never discovered the witnesses against him, much less interviewed them, never reviewed the evidence in the hands of the prosecution, never demanded my clients rights to discovery, never read the cases relevant to the case at hand, never prepared the cross examination of the witnesses against my client, never … and on and on, I would be guilty of legal malpractice. Every public defender who purports to represent an accused under circumstances in which he or she has neither the time nor the resources to fully defend the client is guilty of malpractice. These public defenders cannot be saved from malpractice because they are crushed under a ridiculous case load - some with even as many as five hundred cases or more. No one who was accused with such an attorney has received a fair trial and every such accused is entitled to an appeal on that basis alone. The judge must not sentence the accused under these circumstances because the judge would be taking part in a fraud on the system. Yet hundreds of thousands of indigent persons go to prison each year under circumstances no better than those outlined above. When I was coming up as a young prosecutor, the defendants were represented pro bono by the lawyers in the local bar. It was part of the duty of members of the bar to take part in the justice system. Today that idea is unheard of. The practice of law is first and foremost a money-making profession. I see nothing wrong with that notion, but what about giving back? Every trial lawyer should be required to take on a couple of pro bono cases every year. At our office we have a separate pro bono law firm and have for over ten years. It often brings us more satisfaction than our big money wins. The job of a lawyer is to represent the people - the lost, the forgotten, the damned, the hated, the voiceless and the poor. Indeed, God forbid, we may one day become one of those who are entitled to representation but cannot afford it. Every time an accused goes to prison without having received a fair trial we are one step closer to the loss of our own freedoms. Our rights are, in fact, being fought for by public defenders who can never fulfill their duty to their clients because of their pathetic, impossible, caseloads. When they fail, we are in danger. Our system becomes a hypocritical charade. And we prove, once and for all, that the promised justice for all in America is an evil lie that is imposed on the poor.

You know how it’s common knowlege that most appeals aren’t successful? Well, if you were a pro-se petitioner in Louisiana for the last 13 years, you knew that you wouldn’t win. Why is that? Because the Chief Judge of their Court of Appeals directed his clerk to summarily deny all appeals from pro-se petitioners without circulating the appeal to other judges. The clerk, ridden with guilt, committed suicide earlier this year and left a note confessing everything. This immoral and apparently illegal policy was in place until Jerrold Peterson, the staffer charged with implementing it, blew his brains out in May of last year. Peterson was driven to it in part, his suicide note suggested, by guilt over the nefarious tasks the judges made him perform. In his note Peterson explained how the court gave indigent appellants the bum’s rush. Although every criminal writ application is supposed to be reviewed by three judges, he was deputed to winnow out any that had been filed pro se and arrange for their automatic rejection. Thus were an estimated 2,500 appeals deep-sixed without any judicial consideration whatsoever. Now, facing public embarassment and possible ethical violations, the Louisiana Supreme Court has stepped in and asked…get this…the same appellate court to look at the appeals again. Note that they did not ask the Court to conduct an investigation into this practice, but simply to consider those appeals that were so summarily denied. Because, if we placate the defendants with another cursory look at their appeals, we can sweep the ethical violations under the carpet. At first this whole thing seemed rather odd to me. After all, how is this even possible? Here’s how: Edward Dufresne, Chief Judge of the Fifth Circuit, took charge of pro se appeals in 1994. He then had Peterson prepare rulings denying writs for all of them and signed off “without so much as a glance,” according to the suicide note. “No judge ever saw the writ application before the ruling was prepared by me,” Peterson wrote in a second suicide note to the Judiciary Commission. The rulings also bore the names, though not the signatures, of judges Marion Edwards and Wally Rothschild. Neither Edwards nor Rothschild had any clue as to what was in the applications, or even knew that they had been filed, according to Peterson. So you’ve got one complicit judge and maybe three. But there are 5 more on that court. What of them? Are we to really believe that these 5 (or 7) other judges never once questioned the stark absence of pro-se appeals? Particularly in Louisiana, whose system has the following characteristics: * About 90 percent of criminal defendants in Louisiana are indigent. * Louisiana only provides post-conviction legal aid in death penalty cases. Everyone else must either hire a lawyer, find a lawyer to handle their case pro bono, or handle the appeal themselves. Obviously, most have no choice but to opt for the latter. * One criminal defense lawyer in Louisiana told me that if you’re convicted of murder in Louisiana and you’re innocent, you’re actually better off getting the death penalty. At least then you’ll get a team of lawyers, investigators, and experts to help with your appeal. This from a state whose criminal justice system was already crumbling. It’s hard to believe that people such as Judge Dufresne take an oath to uphold the law and to prove equal protection under it. Disbarment may be enough, but only barely. Justice delayed is no justice at all. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ THE SMOKING GUN LINK TO AMERICA'S JUDICIAL INJUSTICES BEING INFLICTED ON POORER AMERICAN'S ! *********************************************************** http://www.nola.com/timespic/stories/index.ssf?/base/news-0/1223616107256210.xml&coll=1 ************************************************************ lawyersforpooramericans@yahoo.com (424-247-2013) 5 More

- lerichards : Lawrence E Richards 7272 Landsdale St. Brooksville, Florida 34601 Law_richards@yahoo,.com 352-585-5466 Feb. 24, 2008 The U S Government has become dangerous to all U S Citizens. Fear has gripped the Government and many people of The United States, causing havoc among all citizens. Not in history of civilization has such atrocities been realized. Spying and torture has become a common practice to any individual living or not living the productive life, people who live peacefully, people who are satisfied with their lives. Once the Government considers a person or persons an outsider, they are considered alien and a danger to the society. The government fears these people for their disrupting the overall progress of the American Way. Growth and prosperity, has become a major concern to those people dwelling in luxury and vanity, while individuals who are satisfied with the common way of living are scrutinized and condemned for being lazy and indifferent to any advancement. America is the product of devastation to the planet Earth, and the realm of outer space. The government has sold-out to the destruction of this planet with endless violations, removing the material resources and destroying natural environment, ending nearly all ecosystems for the natural forms of life. The elderly, in their time to relax and enjoy the things they have accomplished, the government relentlessly hounds, reminding the retired they are still useful and can be of some consequence to the community around them. The government continues to rely on production and progress, the very accomplishments that are burying any hopes of this planet Earth from ever recovering from absolute destruction. The End

- TX22 : John Wieder for Congress, TX22, Life begins @ Conception, Mr Poe ran as a pro life candidate and has not kept his promises in this area, so he needs to cosponsor the Ron Paul bill our resign. If he does neither there will be a complaint filed against him. nick, it is even worse for you because the silent majority wants the right to life amendment, so you are damaging many things including businesses through out District 22. I think it is a pretty good possiblility he will end up in a court battle pretty soon. Life begins at conception, and it looks like a few women libers has taken all the gonads in Washington D.C. with the exception of one sponsor in TX14 in Ron Paul and three or four others in other southern states. So that makes them a bunch of liars, thieves, and cowards. This is John Wieder weighing in on this abomination for congress of TX22. The two front running Republicans say they are prolife, but will they sign a pledge to cosponsor a right to life bill, and lets say they both do. Which one of them would ask Ted Poe to resign or cosponsor and file a complaint if need be? Who would you rather have at the white house? Oh I forgot the Democrat, He will probably be in court over his actions. So Democrat, Republican, or Libertarian? Who is going to be? I pick me! everytime!

- jaygirl : It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the "war" in Iraq is nothing more than a ploy to get oil. For this, we have lost our constitution, our service men and women are being killed, our financial resources are gone, and government surveillance is condoned. We have gained graft, greed, lying, stealing at the government level with no accountability. We have lost billions of unaccounted for dollars. We have gained a system of no-bid contractors who run our prisons, perform torture, poison our food, and ignore the threats of global warming. They are immune from U.S. laws when in Iraq. 4 More

The '70's oil crisis should have catalyzed and driven research and development of alternative sources of renewable energy. Instead, we subsidize the rich (oil companies) at the expense of the poor (most Americans). We install a puppet government who's president (H. Karzai) was a former ?consultant /advisor to the Unocal Corp. for the Asian subcontinent! Let's drill in everybody's backyards and frontyards which they'll never own anyway...give the profits to Big Brother / Big Oil, continue to rape Mother Nature just like our female soldiers are being raped, murdered and ignored in Iraq / Afghanistan, and as long as we have our Blackberrys and our IPods.....and our HD flatpanel TVs...who cares!!! Yeah right ! Impeach Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld NOW ! Restore Truth, Democracy and order to America. Out with the Old...and let's get busy repairing the democracy our founding fathers envisioned.
