An update from Occupy Fights Foreclosures (California)

3. That one is a Congressional Bill which sounds great but so far has only made it to

Committee. So far it hasn't made it out of Committee yet but it should.

I think the one you posted is a Ca bill. Other states had similar bills on the ballot but I don't know if they passed.

However it is still great that there is some movement on trying to get a moratorium on foreclosures and I hope there will be a huge drive to back the Congressional Bill. Here are the co-sponsors of the bill:

show cosponsors (12)

Carson, André [D-IN7]
Clarke, Yvette [D-NY11]
Cleaver, Emanuel [D-MO5]
Conyers, John [D-MI14]
Ellison, Keith [D-MN5]
Grijalva, Raul [D-AZ7]
Jackson, Jesse [D-IL2]
Kaptur, Marcy [D-OH9]
Lewis, John [D-GA5]
Miller, George [D-CA7]
Waters, Maxine [D-CA35]
Kucinich, Dennis [D-OH10]

It should have a lot more than that, especially a lot more Dems. I think I will call our newly elected Dem here in Ca Dist 26 as she seems to be a real progressive Dem.

Thanks for the info, I think the more people who know about this at the Federal Level, the more chance it has of passing. Not a single Republican Sponsor though, this is the kind of thing I am going to show to my Republican friends who think that party works for them. And we have people talking about Dems being willing to compromise?? How about Republicans compromising for a change?
