"HVCC Continues to devastate home values across the US. As we’ve shared, Representatives Childers (D-MS) and Miller (R-CA) introduced legislation (H.R. 3044) requesting an 18 month moratorium on the Home Valuation Code of Conduct (HVCC), which now has over 80 co-sponsors! "
"Tens of thousands of consumers have already been robbed of their opportunity to enjoy historically low rates by Attorney General Andrew Cuomo’s rule. HVCC needs to be permanently reversed in order to restore lower costs to the consumer and to protect the thousands of real estate transactions stalled by this code. You are well aware of the harmful nature of this horribly misguided code, but others may not be. We implore you to forward this petition link to everyone you know…EVEN IF YOU ALREADY HAVE. Let’s make sure this petition gets enough signatures to open the eyes of the representatives that have the power to initiate change!"

GET TOUGH with WALL STREET!
One year ago, Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy and touched off the worst financial crisis and recession in a generation. 1 But 12 months later, instead of learning its lesson, Wall Street is back to its old tricks: Paying huge bonuses and taking huge risks that still threaten our 401Ks and pensions.
President Obama went to Wall Street this week to try and talk sense. He called for clearer regulation, new protections for consumers, and rules that ensure CEOs are rewarded only for performance. 2 But Wall Street isn't going to listen just because the President talks.Top bankers and traders are still making a fortune off our under-regulated system. And they're spending an unprecedented amount of time and money to make sure Congress leaves them to it. 3 The House and Senate are both planning to take up Obama's reform package next week. 4 Tell your Senators and Representative to get on board now and make Wall Street toe the line.

A year ago, the financial crisis caught a lot of us by surprise. John McCain famously misread the situation and pronounced "the fundamentals of our economy are strong," even as the collapse was beginning. 5

America Can't Wait
Now is the season for action. The majority of Americans want health insurance reform with the choice of a public option that keeps insurance companies honest, lowers costs, and increases service. The choice of a public option provides every American a non-profit health insurance alternative that can't be canceled if you lose a job or move and it's inclusion in any bill passed this year is non-negotiable.

Help Protect President Obama
As racist attacks increase and protestors continue to bring guns to presidential events, it is strikingly clear that President Obama is vulnerable to harm. Are the Secret Service and the FBI doing enough to protect him? Are they confronting those who threaten our president?
Ronald Kessler, a veteran investigative journalist and conservative who recently authored a book about the Secret Service, notes that funding cutbacks have already left the first African-American president in U.S. history particularly vulnerable. The book, which alleges that the cash-strapped Secret Service is endangering the president by cutting corners, has sent shockwaves through Washington.
We cannot allow funding problems to weaken the organizations charged with protecting the life of our nation's president. It is time for Americans of every stripe to insist that the Secret Service and the FBI operate at the highest levels of effectiveness.
I just signed a petition to ask Janet Napolitano, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, to ensure that efforts of the Secret Service and FBI to protect President Obama from escalating threats are expanded and fully funded. I hope you will, too. Please have a look and take action.
