movement : The one year Birthday Party was held at the Fort
Bragg Senior Center. That was two weeks after the Labor Day Paul Bunyan

SEIU ; the group chanting : </DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2> Many other accoplishments, such as the
direct action and video made of 25 Occupy Mendocino and Occupy Ukiah
members carrying signs (alleging mortgage fraud) at the Board of
Supervisors County Offices with "crime scene tapes" in front of the Assessor's
Office.-</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>A video was made by Laurie York from OM of a
homeowner, facing foreclosure, who was able to look at his records at the
Assessor/Recorder's office to find who owned his mortgage. None could be found
due to loans having been securitized and sold to investors abroad. Still
the bank will foreclose on his home. Result= We were asked to be
speak on the next month's agenda to the Supervisors regarding fraudulent
home foreclosures, which we did.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Accomplishment #2 was that two of us joined
three hundred other protestors at the State Capitol Rally to press for a three
year Moratorium on Home Foreclosures. Result: the following Monday the
legislature passed the </FONT><FONT color=#000000 size=2> Homeowners
Billof Rights. Because these protections (5 laws) will go into effect only in
January 2013. We are calling for Governor Brown to declare a state of
economic emergency and a Moratorium on foreclosure Now until Jan.2013. Please
join us in sending this message at change.org.petition: Foreclosure Moratorium
Petition.to Governor Brown.</FONT></DIV>
