Greetings!

 
As you may know, I was one of several attorneys who went to DC during the month of February to lobby for a new bill that is currently before Congress: the Helping Families Save Their Homes in Bankruptcy Act of 2009.     While  financial institutions are privy to bailout funds, families across the country are increasingly facing the prospect of losing their homes.
 
This act would help millions of homeowners by:
 
1.  Allowing Bankruptcy judges to renegotiate loan terms for homeowners who have filed a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy;
 
2.  Assisting in stopping the downward spiral in home values and the destabilization of our economy--which affects us all.
 
Banking industry lobbyists are working hard to kill the bill.  It's unclear whether the bill will pass and some legislators may be ready to fall in line with the banking industry.

 
You can help make sure this bill passes by making your voice heard. Let your senators and their colleagues know you expect them to support the bill, and ask your friends and family to do the same.  Pass this email on to others!
 
It takes just a moment, so please click this link, sign the online petition, and make your voice heard!   http://colorofchange.org/homes/?id=1576-801175

Sincerely,
