i wanted to set up an appointment with my congressman because i was blacklisted for exercising my rights as a citizen. i was locked into an office against my will to be tormented by my supervisor. i filed a formal complaint and was terriably harrassed by the healthcare institution where i worked. not able to find a job in my skilled field; i decided to start my own business. i faxed a request a month ago as instucted. i called to find out if indeed my fax was recieved and to make an appointment. i got some information per sba etc.; but no appointment. after following up with questions, i was told to apply for welfare. what a cut down. is this the change we are suppose to look forward to?

progress

By equal citizen - Mar 10th, 2009 at 2:07 pm EDT

Hi Been making alot of progress outside of my comfort zone to prepare for this fight that we are on for change. however as I'm getting educated on areas that i had no need to explore is really getting next to me. as i have written before, my home was without defaluts, tax leins and was over paid. my attorney and i are still working on this but run into walls. while i have patients, i get really discouraged when i'm told "that is the law". situation is that once it's ruled over, it cannot be over turned in the court. problem is that it wasn't by court protocol and done maliciously out of greed. i have no law degrees, only common sense. i'm an honest person and really have no skill to deal with crooks. however they get away with every crime they comment and spit on you at the same time. i also get discouraged when folks are introduced as being the top financial etc. etc.-i believe they knew what was going on but got caught in the malipulation of life impressing their friends. lower class people are over looked so they cannot lose their status with them by being helpful to us. when i look at the media, it doesn't include people like me. i don't have the type of money to even be concerned about stocks and such. my goals were set at an early age. one of them was to dept free at age fourty. i have written many complaint letters concerning these goals because although they were mine, i learned the banks have their own personal ways of monitoring my progress and began an attack on my good credit etc. and being unaware of their motives; i got pulled into a scam. i had $9,000.00 to reach the goal of paying off my house. money looking good and i decided to double payment them up. well, when this happened, i began getting letters of default and the financial and banking institutions did nothing to help even after going over my records. their were a few people in the position that attempted and suddenly we no longer in their positions. i was told to keep paying so that would not fall into the trip of being in default. that caused an overpayment. i sought many attorneys that wanted me to file bankruptcy. but i was not indept. this would give me a chance to get it out in the open they said. i didn't concider that an option. it would tie up my credit report in the event i would like to take out a loan. i have two children in college, one on the way. i had two hearings in civil court. the judge told me my home was not in danger of a sale. the attorneys representing the banks had no records or anything on me to even start a foreclosure. i was the one who had to provide my documents to them. the second hearing was to allow them to come up with a figure owed back to me. the chief of that firm showed up and lied to the court with what the law states as for their reasoning to take action. during that time they still had nothing. however while in court, they sold my home anyway, back to themselves. the house was $60.000.00, paid in less than 20 years. over paid, $30.000.00 for remodeling, 2 months later sold for $94,000.00. bank bailout to lender a matching amount. my hosue hasn't been resold as of todate. their aren't many attornies doing cases that help the consumer. i won't get into the other problems to fight for what my american dream was. i expected my children to have this house last year. i already had landscapping drawn up. most of my savings has gone to people that knew in their hearts they weren't going to assist this matter. My opinion as a citizen dosen't count. i dicovered there are many like myself who are trying to get some peace. as for all the tv advisors out there giving advice. be nice. you don't have the entire story.

i'm constantly searching for information that speaks to my situation. story is that i paid for my home and it was still foreclosed on. i'm working with an attorney and we have a few ideas to get this out in the open. we found out some really bad things that has happened while on this journey to recover my home. i've only met a few people personally that have the same situation and have run into the same walls. folks who study this problem with all their authority have the same problems aswell. one of those problems is that the way the laws are written in MD, they have to abide by them. this is upsetting for us who were caught in the cracks of the mortgage scammers by location, location, location. i really have the hopes that a neutral person under the Obama adminstration would come see about us. it is quite intimadating that juridiction have boundries. the same boundries that were crossed over by the law makers breaking the laws bankers), that are to protect us. noone in these organizations can be trusted to do the right thing. these web sites are helpful, but to what extint? the monitors are doing their jobs, but the problem of losing something that took years to pay for become prey to the monsters that have and will continue to do what ever they want because they can. knowing noone is trying to get close enough to touch them. meanwhile during the waitng game, we suffer and still no answers. what happened to me is very bad and unusual. it would be easy to many if the process of the make a quick buck would have a signature of people who have been forced to follow a transaction to take place before anything is settled. investors should never have a part in something that has no signature and should be the ones representing themselves during court hearings and questioned on certain interest. lawyers should have information on consumers before cooming to the courts. there should never be an easy street for these office hustlers. if a job could be created to help home owners, let them be God fearing individuals in this corrupt system.

Next Generation suvival skills for the workplace

By equal citizen - Jan 26th, 2009 at 10:37 pm EST

This is my first post. For generations employers have not been accountable for their work ethics and will not abide by the codes of conduct provided doing an orientation. As a new employee this is your duty. during my blogs i will share personal information of what they won't teach you in the schools and expensive colleges. For now i will let you know that careers across the board have been ended by a law that was passed a few years ago that has to change. That Law is that you can get fired if your employer doesn't like you and they can fire you/At Will. This is where i have decided to start my blogs. i have been working on this site because i believe that issues that need to be discussed may have a chance of being heard and that will bring about a change to encourage the younger generation into the work force. please feel free to add a concern outside of regular community activities. They will always be there and you can do more than one thing.
