Call You AG Today and Then Call Mom and Tell Her Your Fighting for the Old Homestead!

I also received another organization's email urging me to call the AG's office today.  See below:


Americans for Financial Reform
Greetings,
Right now, the 50 State Attorneys General are in critical negotiations with the big banks. They need to hear from YOU that you want them to stand up for accountability for the big banks, real change in the banks abusive and illegal foreclosure practices, and real justice for millions of homeowners.

CALL your state Attorney General today at 866-200-6444 or click here to find your Attorney General

Even with millions of families in danger of losing their homes, and with new evidence of law breaking by the big banks at every stage of the lending and servicing process surfacing daily, the financial industry lobby machine is in overdrive, trying to keep themselves above the law.  Bank of American, JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo and the other big banks are trying to preserve the status quo, and get away with a slap on the wrist.  They need to hear that we won’t stand for that. The Attorneys General need to stand with us and demand justice.
Loan work outs that help people stay in their homes, and start rebuilding equity are good for families, they are good for neighborhoods, they are good for investors, and they are good for our whole economy.  The Attorneys General have a huge opportunity, and a huge responsibility to make real change happen.
Together with allies at Crime Shouldn’t Pay our goal is to generate more than 10,000 calls today. Will you be one of those calls? Will you forward this message to friends and family to increase our numbers? Or will you post this Facebook link
Sample phone message:
My name is x, I live in (City, Town, etc; State). I am calling to let Attorney General X know that we need him / her to stand up to the big banks, and stand with us. We need him / her to fight for changes that will hold the big banks accountable and provide justice for millions of homeowners. Helping people stay in their homes and start rebuilding equity is good for homeowners, good for neighborhoods, good for investors, and good for our whole economy. Nothing less is acceptable.
Thank you,
X
As always, thanks for all of your hard work!

Wither Goes the Corn?

One of the most under played news stories in the national media right now is the potential impact of the mid-western drought on food security in the United States.  According to Forbes 75% of food on supermarket shelves has corn in it.  Having already destroyed, stunted or delayed much of the corn crop, the heat is now working it's way on the soybean crop.  The Agriculture Dept conservative estimate is that food prices will rise by 3-4% this year as a result.  However this is based on the current, incomplete assessment of the drought's impact on corn and other crops.This drought is a new phenomenon-- a global warming drought based on fundamental alteration of weather patterns.  Already about one quarter of the country is in severe drought. Other estimates of potential price impacts range as high as 15% and the latent fear that eventually, for a time, the U.S. may become a net importer of food may play havoc with the crop futures market.  Food inflation ...

Just War and Just a War

One of the thorniest problems man face is when, if every is war justified.  The bible says there is a time for war and a time for peace, but that could be just a bow to the inevitability of war in the fallen world.  If also says that they will beat there swords into plough shares and study war no more.  Dorothy Day, Peter Maurin, William Miller and other Catholic Workers often ascribed to pacifism or near total pacifism face with the near impossibility of every untangling the moral consequences of violence from the ends desired in undertaking it. But St. Augustine, faced with a world where Christians were starting to replace pagans as political leaders and Christians we soldiers in obedience to the leaders tried to come up with criteria by which war could be measured.   Augustine knew that the Gospel question on it was complex.  One the one hand Jesus told people to turn the other  cheek and also told Peter to put away his sword and not defe...
