*TELL THE HOUSE AND SENATE BANKING AND FINANCE COMMITTEES:
MORATORIUM ON FORECLOSURES AND EVICTIONS NOW!
*

Please tell the House and Senate Banking and Finance Committee you want 
a Moratorium on Foreclosures and Evictions NOW!

Sign the petition below and send it to President Bush, Members of the 
House and Senate Banking and Finance Committees, Congressional leaders, 
your own Congressional delegation, and media representatives!

Dear member of the House and Senate Banking and Finance Committees:

I call on Congress to enact an immediate emergency moratorium on home 
foreclosures and evictions. Moreover, until the Mortgage Bankers 
Association agrees to an immediate moratorium on home foreclosures and 
evictions, I call on members of Congress to refuse to meet with 
representatives of the MBA during the Association's scheduled lobbying 
day on Thursday, April 17.

People from across the country who are facing the prospect of losing 
their homes will be demonstrating in front of the Mortgage Bankers 
Association's annual policy conference in Washington D.C. on April 16, 
to demand that the Association formally endorse a call for such a 
moratorium.

The speedy, expensive, and extraordinary action that the Federal Reserve 
Bank took in response to the Bears Stearns crisis a few days ago is, in 
reality, tantamount to a government-enacted moratorium on bank failures.

Congress has its own proposals for bringing relief to people at risk of 
losing their home. However, none of the proposals are as sweeping, 
immediate and effective as a moratorium.

The Fed's action required no legislation, no hearings, no studies, no 
half measures, and no time lag. Why is it, then, that a similar 
moratorium on home foreclosures and evictions cannot be enacted to stop 
the largest number of home foreclosures since the Depression of the 1930s?

By refusing to meet with representatives of the MBA on April 17, you 
will be helping the mortgage banking industry wake up to the fact that 
they can no longer avoid, ignore, or continue to resist the popular and 
human demand that they simply stop evicting families from their homes.

Sincerely,
/(Your signature will be appended here based on the contact information
