At least three buses, from the east and west coasts of Florida, will be rolling out of cities across the state come Tuesday night April 20 as they head out on an overnight trek headed to the Florida Capitol building where a well organized rally is scheduled to take place the following morning (April 21).
What was the spark for this trek to the Capitol? One of the latest assaults against Florida homeowners -a proposed Florida Consumer Protection and Homeowner Credit Rehabilitation Act - written by Florida Bankers. This legislation would affect consumer rights by reducing or eliminating the rights of homeowners and tenants by putting foreclosures on the fast-track -bypassing the courts. (See: Beware of the Florida Consumer Protection and Homeowner Credit Rehabilitation Act)
So Matt Weidner, a St. Petersburg attorney, along with assistance from Lisa Epstein (Foreclosure Hamlet), and Michael Redman (4closureFraud.org) in an all out effort to force our legislators to take heed of their constituents, have organized a rally and bus caravan to transport an attention-getting army of united attorneys, advocates, consumers and homeowners all with passionate voices who want to let our lawmakers know that the people of Florida STRONGLY PROTEST the passage of laws that favor only those who profit from unfair financial practices.
Co-Organizer Lisa Epstein offers the below info and links on the rally. Be sure to check back often for more details on pick-up times, places and bus routes as more details roll in.
Remember the Freedom Rides of the Civil Rights Era?

Well, they say history repeats itself so send this link to every media outlet and social media page (Facebook, etc) in your local area! Informed, they can capture for posterity this historic event.
Floridians from across the state gather together and make a pilgrimage to their state capitol to raise their voices in unison singing of the moral, ethical, legal, and criminal issues behind the national foreclosure crisis and global economic downturn.
This is not just for homeowners!
We are ALL reduced by the actions behind the mortgage frauds and scams. Tenants! Anyone who relies on any public service funded by our now shrunken tax revenues! Anyone owning any property at all, fully paid off or not. Any business owner! Unemployed family members! Credit card/bank account fees victims! Those with drained 401Ks and college savings accounts!
We will be heard as was the Florida Bankers Association on their own "Capitol Day" on March 10, 2010. Florida Bankers, guess what? You wanted a "Taste of Florida"? You are gonna get one! We are having our own "Capitol Day"! But our collective voices will be a harmony; louder, clearer, unwavering, and with a foundation firmly planted in the historical roots of our country as a nation for WE, THE PEOPLE!
Bankers and other stealth foreclosing entities, listen up! We are NOT boobs, chumps, doormats, dupes, easy marks, fools, goats, gulls, patsies, pigeons, pushovers, saps, scapegoats, schmucks, sitting ducks, stooges, suckers, victims, or weaklings,
And we MOST CERTAINLY ARE NOT "deadbeats"!
We have the bus and other arrangements well underway.
This is going to be A FREEDOM RIDE CIRCA 2010, reminiscent of the Civil Rights
Freedom Rides!
A pilgrimage to Tallahassee on the back of white horse of moral, legal, ethical, and AMERICAN good!
This is not for the feint of heart!
On April 20th, we are leaving late at night from West Palm Beach, making four stops along the way, arriving early in the morning in Tallahassee,
a full day of raising our voices and educating our legislators, then the long trek home.
Florida thanks ICE LEGAL for sponsoring our bus. There are only 50 seats available, so consider this carefully and email your reservation as specified in the link below. If the bus doesn't fill up, we will take stand-bys.
If the bus fills up and we have other people remaining, we strongly encourage car
pooling and sharing gas and wear-and-tear costs with the driver.
Here are some tips and suggestions.
Be prepared! Come with your "talking points" on a single sheet of paper, many copies, to hand out to the legislators and their staff.
Bring your voter registration card for the petition signing!

Right on! want to be a part! here's some previous... hope it helps
http://www.selegal.org/Cost%20of%20Predatory%20Lending.pdf
f asset values and markets are going to be rejuvenated; sooner or later, it's ashame bailed out banks can seemingly hold the global economy hostage, of sorts when the bail out money was supposed to require them to participate in breaking the stagnant market so there might be an up market available for all those portfolio assets they’re toting...to turn over a profit? What good is predatory lending if the assets you run off with loose value so much you can’t afford to sell them until the market recovers? It's time they were mandated to design a new kind of indemnified paper to move this market.
If we all mean it? What are we waiting for?
START THE NATIONAL CAMPAIGNS NOW! - ON YOUR FLAGS YOU FLY; AND ON THE ANTENNAS OF YOUR AUTO VEHICLES YOU DRIVE; FLY BLACK RIBBONS AND WHITE RIBBONS. TIE ONE OF EACH COLOR. THEY SELL ROLLS OF RIBBON JUST LIKE CAUTION TAPE USED AT CONSTRUCTION SITES.
IF YOUR TOO POOR TO BUY THEM YOU CAN "NEATLY-PLEASE"- CUT A 1 AND 1/2 " RIBBON 4' LONG FROM A TRASH BAG END AND TIE IT TO YOUR CAR ANTENNAS.MAKE OR BUY A WHITE RIBBON SAME SIZE, 1 AND 1/2’ BY 4‘. YOU COULD USE A WHITE TRASH BAG A PLASTIC GROCERY BAG - OR NICER MATERIAL OF COURSE. WHEN PEOPLE ASK YOU WHY TAKE THE TIME TO DISPLAY THESE TELL THEM ABOUT AMERICAN VICTIMS AND THE TREASON COMMITTED BY DECEPTION WHEN THEY HOODWINKED OUR HOUSE AND SENATORS TO VOTE FOR THIS DISGUISED POISON PILL.
THEY FOOLED OUR GOVERNMENT BY DISGUISING THE COMMODITIES REFORMATION ACT OF 2000 TO LOOK LIKE SOMETHING IT WASN'T.
IT WAS MADE TO TIE THE HANDS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERALS WHO WERE SEEKING LEGISLATION AND FIGHTING AGAINST PREDATORY LENDING THROUGH INVESTIGATIONS AND NATIONAL CONFERENCES FROM 1997-1999. IF THEY WERE YOUR STATES ATTORNEY GENERALS VOTE FOR THEM; RE-ELECT THEM IF THERE NOT; AND ASK ALL THE OTHERS TO PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS PROBLEM. ARE THEY FOR US; OR AGAINST THE BANKS? VOTE WITH DEDICATION EQUAL TO YOUR RELIGIOUS FERVOR.
TELL THAT EACH BLACK RIBBON IS FOR A FAMILY YOU KNOW WHO WAS BROKEN STRIPPED AND ROBBED. HARMED BY TREASON!! BY THE CRIMES COMMITTED BY BANKS AND THEIR LOBBYISTS;
AGAINST US CITIZENS AND OUR NATION. TELL THEM IT MUST STOP. ASK IF YOU CAN TIE RIBBONS ON THEIR ANTENNA FOR THEM. .
THE WHITE RIBBON IS FOR THE HOPE THAT COMES IF WE ALL ACT; TELL THE STORY AND COMPEL;
YES COMPEL
ALL THOSE WHO ASK TO JOIN.
FIND ROLLS OF RIBBON LIKE THEY USE FOR CAUTION AT A CONSTRUCTION SITE OR WARNING RIBBON. CARRY A ROLL OF EACH COLOR AND START THE CAMPAIGNS.
BCC = BANKS COMMITTED CRIMES
BRP=BANKS ROBBING PEOPLE
TIE RIBBONS WHERE YOU CAN.
MAKE 2 RIBBONS OF EACH COLOR, 3’ TO 4’ LONG. DISPLAY THEM EVERYWHERE YOU CAN: EITHER WAVING FROM YOUR CAR ANTENNA OR TIED OFF ON THE TOP CLIP YOU FLY YOUR FLAG. YOU CAN ALSO PULL THEM 1/2 WAY THROUGH THE TOP BRASS GROMMET RING THAT THE BLUE FIELD OF THE AMERICAN FLAG IS FLOWN WITH.
THIS IS THE YEAR TO DO THIS-
-TO REMIND US OF POW AWARENESS. BUT ALSO TO SPREAD THE WAR CRY THAT BANKS ARE MAKING US CITIZENS PRISONERS IN OUR OWN LAND.
DEMAND YOUR POLITICIANS GIVE A RESPONSE TO THEIR POSITION PUBLICLY. IF THEY WON’T PUBLICLY DENOUNCE THE BANKING CRIMES; ASK THEIR COMPETITORS IF THEY’LL DO IT INSTEAD. PUSH THE ISSUE. BANKS HAVE COMMITTED TREASON AND WE MUST DEMAND IT DECLARED TO ELIMINATE THE STATUTE OF LIMITATION ON BANK INVESTIGATIONS AND PREDATORY LENDING FROM 1995 ON.
READ THE BOOK GIVE ME LIBERTY AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS! THIS DEMONSTRATION MUST GET OFF THE GROUND ALREADY IF "WE THE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO UNDO AND CHANGE THIS BACK!
OUR NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY AND OUR CHILDREN’S AND GRAND CHILDREN’S LIVES AND FUTURES DEPEND ON IT.
THE 60’S GENERATION HAD MANY DEMONSTRATIONS. THEY DID IN 1776 AS WELL. WILL WE HAND OVER THIS NATION WITHOUT A FIGHT?
YOU MAY ALL BE HURTING BUT I ASSURE YOU IN 1776 THEY WERE TOO!
“WE HAVE MORE FIGHT TO BRING;
ALSO:
USE THE DON’T TREAD ON ME FLAG WITH BLACK AND WHITE RIBBONS FLOWN FROM THE TOP OF THE MAST; TO SHOW YOUR PROTEST. WILLINGNESS TO POLITICAL PRESSURE; AND TO SHOW SUPPORT.
IT’S TIME TO BRING THE FIGHT.
Please obey the law. Conduct yourselves as guests; be ALWAYS beyond ANY question of misbehavior; or impoliteness. IF YOU STOP; START THERE THE NEXT TIME.
‘HAND OUT RIBBONS TO EVERYONE”
-ALL HANDS ON DECK! THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
IF YOU AGREE WITH THIS; CUT COPY PASTE AND FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU CAN THINK OF. Be part of this generations voice-”TODAY”
Denise!
Thank you for this wonderful post in support of our Freedom Ride to Tallahassee!
I am so excited to watch this all unfold and to be honored with the job of helping to organize it all.
Get on the Bus!
COME ON EVERYONE! Let's go tell our elected officials that their "evaluations" are coming up this election season and we are watching!
After careful consideration, if you determine that you can make the trip, email ForeclosureFraud@gmail.com with your name, number in group, city, phone, and email contact.

This is such a magnificent story; people joining together to solve a massive problem. The solutions to these problems will not come from Wall Street and they will not come from Washington. They will come from people working together. Huge credit to Lisa Epstein (Foreclosure Hamlet), and Michael Redman (4closureFraud.org)as well as all the homeowners that will be in attendance. Governor Crist, Speaker of the House, President of the Senate and leadership from the Senate and the House all know we're coming. We're all certainly hopeful that our numbers and our message will encourage each of them to sit down and meet with us.
The Capital is a fantastic and electric place on any day..but Wednesday April 21 is the People's Day...Everyone Come Be Part of the Process!
THANK YOU ALL FROM MA TO YOU ALL IN FLORIDA
There comes a point of saturation after which the lethargy of the the legislative branch, having been been repeatedly informed and shown clear, undeniable evidence of the massive criminal fraud behind the foreclosure crisis, can only be viewed as tacit approval and complicit aiding and abetting of the criminal fraud itself.
It is very concerning that elected officials may be incriminating themselves as accessories after the fact should they vote in favor of FL HB1523 and FL SB2270.
Unlawful and false affidavits of indebtedness, parties filing foreclosure who are not parties to the transaction, false endorsements and/or allonges that merely contain a stamp on a blank piece of paper with no identifying features of the property it claims to attach itself to, and mere copies of purported documents being passed off as original documents.
Is it possible to walk into a bank with a copy of a check and expect the teller to cash it- of course not. A copy of a check is no more negotiable than a copy of a promissory note. I have seen assignments of mortgage that have so much white sticky strips all over the face of the document where there is writing on top and underneath the white strips, assignments of mortgage that state BOGUS as the grantor, and assignments of mortgage that have witnesses signing as a completely different name than the typed name under the signature line.
In addition, if, between 2001 and 2007, you or anyone in your family signed a mortgage backed promissory note, I urge you to hire any of the top fraud examiners in your state to review what may be an eye opening experience. Sometimes, personal experience is the best educator.
All of the above mentioned items are fraudulent. From this point going forward, legislators are hereby noticed that that there is enormous fraud occurring on practically each and every foreclosure filed against homeowners each and every day.
By ignoring the rampant fraud perpetrated by illegal parties, legislators automatically become accessories after the fact which is a crime. By voting in favor of HB1523 and SB2270 legislators are a party to the fraud which is a prosecutable offense.
Furthermore, legislators eagerness to sign their names to a bill that will literally result in extraordinary harm to their constituents is causing red flags to go up that they personally may have an undisclosed relationship with the parties pushing so hard to get these bills passed so quickly.
