[Occupymendocino] letter to the Supervisors May 14,2013

[agnes at mcn.org]

Good Morning Supervisors Hamburg,Gjerde,McCowen, Pinches and Brown;

My name is Agnes Woolsey. I come before you with representatives from
Occupy Ukiah and Mendocino.Representatives,please stand. We bring a
petition which involves budgeting and urge you to  include Funding for an
Audit of foreclosure documents by mega-banks to investigate robo-signing
in the Auditor's real property records.

Some of the 400 petition signers wanted to know what robo-signers were. We
explained that when mortgages were bundled by Wall Street big banks, then
sold to investors multiple times, they lost the chain of title and had to
use fake signatures on foreclosure documents to make it look legal.Then
they sent the foreclosure document to the County Recorder who just
recorded them without investigation.

Funding an Audit would give the Recorder, Susan Ranochak, the tools to
train volunteers, send Affidavits of Authenticity to foreclosing entities
requiring them to send the signed affidavit back, swearing to the
truthfulness of the signatures along with $75.00 per page. Attached to the
letter would be CA Public Law 115 which states under penalty of perjury,
if anyone knowingly uses fraudulent signatures they will be subject to
jail time and fines up to $75,000. per incident.
The home Owners Bill of Rights CA AB 1602/SB 1470 requires creditors to
provide documentary evidence of ownership, the chain of title to real
property and the right to foreclose at the time of filing of a notice of
default.

We urge you to Fund an Audit of foreclosures to find those that used
robo-signers to help Susan Ranochak weed out fraud from her land title
records and report them to the CA Attorney General as stipulated in CA AB
1950. Another bill SB 1474/AB 1763 impanels a Grand Jury for purposes of
investigating multi-jurisdictional financial crimes against the state.
This should be of special relevance to the County District Attorney, David
Eyester, who has received proof of robo-signed documents from Jed Davis of
Potter Valley.

When Assessor Phil Ting of S.F. hired an audit of 400 foreclosure
documents he found that 80 % of them had errors which made them null and
void. His public service to the people of S.F. earned him an election as
Assemblyman in the CA legislature.

In your capacity to serve the public good we urge you to Fund an Audit.

Thankyou for your attention.
