Ask yourself these questions:

• Do I deserve to have my “sub-prime” mortgage written down?

• Do those who have lost their home either to a “Deed Theft” or “Foreclosure” deserve to be homeless after putting all of their lifesavings into something they can pass down?

• Does my community deserve justice?

WRITE DOWN LOANS!  GIVE BACK HOMES!
