<br>We talked about continuing/increasing our activism - send thanks to Sacramento for the HOBOR (Home Owners Bill of Rights) just passed and ask Jerry Brown to sign it into law immediately, advocate (AG Harris) to start active pursuit of investigation and prosecution of bankers for fraud, call on Gov. Brown to enact a financial emergency 3 yr. moratorium on foreclosures and so forth as encouraged by CJ Holmes at her website.<br>
<br>I think the appetite for criminal prosecution is growing because of the continuing revelations of US and foreign criminal actions by huge banking corporations. Iceland is jailing bankers; England is in the beginning of a huge LIBOR set of scandals and crimes; look at CHASE in the US. It's time for OCCUPY nation-wide to agitate and PUSH for legal action and consequences.<br>
<br>In Sacramento, Agnes and I got to meet with aides for Chesboro and Evans.<br><br>Emily at Chesboro's office was nice but not very encouraging but we feel that being a squeaky wheel is vital - we know Chesboro is "on our side" but he is not on committees which are directly involved. Still we can keep him informed and on our 'speed dial' to connect iwth OM.<br>
<br>Djibril at Sen. Evans's office was, as I have said, extremely supportive and encouraging. He was very serious in urging us (OCCUPY) to keep it up and step it up because what's being done is working. He stated that OCCUPY is why things are moving for people facing foreclosure.<br>
<br>We did make OM a 'face' to Cheboro and Evans offices.<br><br>I urge other people to add to this list of reasons for activism, to send FAXes to all elected representatives and send them often. Hand written letters sent by FAX are attention attracting. If people have no FAX access, please let's organize for written letters to be gathered and sent by someone (like me) who has a FAX machine at home. A lot of us have FAX capability via computer software (scan in letter then FAX vis computer) but I will /gladly/ FAX for anyone who wants to write a letter to the electeds.<br>
