Their Homes Were Foreclosed on so Their Votes Won't be Counted?
This is kicking somebody when they're already down. Can't speak for you, but I don't Want any more elections like the one in 2000! Please consider going to the organization's site and signing this petition.
(second time I've tried to post This, too.)
Rebuild the Dream
Anyone who lived through the 2000 election knows that every vote counts -- and razor-thin
margins are far from uncommon.
But what happens if, on November 6th, the voters who could decide the election are
simply... missing?
Many foreclosed homeowners don't know that their ballot might be challenged or thrown
out. Confusing rules -- many created after the 2008 crisis -- make it difficult for
voters in temporary residences to register and vote. It could block the votes of
the millions of Americans who have suffered through a foreclosure since 2008, with
disastrous consequences.
The Wall Street banks that caused all this have a responsibility to fix it.
Demand that Wall Street banks provide clear voter registration information to all foreclosed homeowners.
Hundreds of you chipped in to help us partner with the voter registration organization
Voto Latino on a campaign to inform and register underwater and foreclosed voters.
The folks at Voto Latino know what they're doing. Since starting in 2004, they've
reached an estimated 55 million Latino households nationwide.
Their efforts couldn't be more important this cycle. The swing states that could
determine the election have some of the highest Latino populations in the U.S.
They're also some of states hardest hit by the foreclosure crisis.
By buying up mortgages at record rates and selling them off under deceptive terms,
big banks created a massive housing bubble that boosted prices in swing states like
people into high-interest, adjustable-rate loans or promise that values would increase
forever.
When the house of cards came tumbling down, everyday Americans were stuck in homes
they suddenly couldn't afford. Millions lost their homes. Now, we need to make sure
they don't lose the ability to cast a ballot.
Add your name now.
Wall Street got bailed out, and now Main Street
booth. We can't let it happen.
Let's speak out now,
Ian and the rest of the Rebuild the Dream team
