Occupy,
As you know We have worked hard to stop fraudulent foreclosures.
We collected 500 signatures asking the supervisors to Fund an Audit of
foreclosure documents. We have been stone walled for two years. We finally
realized the only way to stop foreclosure fraud was for one of us to run
for office.  Robin , of occupy Ukiah, stepped up to the plate. Now she
needs our support. Please make a donation to Robin Sunbeam for
Assessor-Clerk-Recorder at P.O. Box 1133, Ukiah, CA 95482. Any amount will
be most appreciated.
Sincerely,
Agnes

PRESS RELEASE:
Robin Sunbeam will be challenging long-time incumbent, Susan Ranochak, for
the office of Assessor/ County Clerk/Recorder.  This is Robin’s first
foray into electoral politics.

For the last ten years, Ms. Sunbeam has worked as the School Nurse for
River Oak Charter School, as well as in the Windsor Unified School
District and Santa Rosa City Schools.  She is a CA Registered Nurse with a
CA School Nurse Credential.  In 1993, Robin earned a MSN from UC San
Francisco in Community Health Nursing, with a minor in administration.
Her Master’s Thesis was a business plan for a rural, nurse-run clinic,
which was put on display in the UCSF library.

Robin served as Treasurer for both River Oak Charter School Education
Foundation and the Move to Amend Coalition of Mendocino County (MTACMC).
She was on the team of the MTACMC that brought us Measure F in November
2012, which garnered nearly 75% of the popular vote.  And you may also
have seen her many letters to the editor in our local newspapers.

When asked why she is running for Assessor/County Clerk/Recorder, Ms.
Sunbeam replied, “When I see injustice, I feel like I must set things
straight. As the recent historic bank settlements have demonstrated, the
big banks have robbed us all!  And there is something we can do on the
county level to protect the public from predatory banksters.  As Recorder,
I will conduct a foreclosure audit to see the true extent of the fraud
problem to date in Mendocino County.  I will carefully scrutinize all new
foreclosure documents for evidence of fraud and demand a clear chain of
title before recording them.  The bank foreclosure-fraud debacle has left
countless destroyed homeowners in its wake, and there are still many more
Mendocino County homeowners, your friends and mine, struggling to save
their homes.

“Considering the enormity of the injustice and the avenue to ameliorate it
through the Recorder’s Office, I was invited to run and decided to take
the responsibility to step up and serve.”  Robin will also advocate for
easier access to polling places, and timely property tax assessments.

She added, “I’m not waiting for ‘them’ to come and fix things.  I'm going
to do it!  In a Democracy, we should all be saying, ‘I'm going to do it.’
If not us, then who?  And if not now, when?”
