You tell ‘em, Congresswoman Kaptur!

FIRST, here’s the CNN video of what Congresswoman Kaptur accomplished:
Thanks to Truthtelling007 of CheneyWatch
From NoQuarterUSA YouTube channel
DOBBS: (There is) seething anger tonight at the federal government’s utter failure to help homeowners in danger of losing their homes, even as the government is spending literally trillions of dollars to help out banks, investment companies. There were more than three million foreclosure filings last year, a million people foreclosed upon. Now, one lawmaker, Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur says it’s time for homeowners to fight back, exercising squatter’s rights.
Drew Griffin, of our Special Investigations Unit, with the report.
GRIFFIN: Elected officials are saying Toledo is not in a recession, it is a depression. It is this bleak backdrop that inspired Toledo Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur to take the floor of the House earlier this month to tell her constituents to stay put.
REP. MARCY KAPTUR, (D) OHIO: So I say to the American people, you be squatters in your own homes; don’t you leave.
GRIFFIN: Kaptur says she has had it with government bailouts for Wall Street banks, but nothing for homeowners. She is advocating for a legal revolution, a demand that not one of her constituents leaves their home without an attorney and a fight.
(on camera) Even if they’ve been foreclosed on, don’t leave?
KAPTUR: If they’ve had no legal representation of a high quality, I tell them stay in their homes.
GRIFFIN (voice over): Kaptur is behind a strategy called produced the note. Mortgages have been so divvied up on Wall Street that banks are having a hard time finding that original paperwork, adding a delay to foreclosures. She is also pushing banks to rework loans, especially those banks getting bailouts and holding mortgages of folks getting tossed out.
KAPTUR: They are vultures. They prey on our property assets. And I guess the reason I’m so adamant on this is because I know property law and its power to protect the individual home owner. And I believe that 99.9 percent of our people have not had good legal representation in this.
……..
GRIFFIN: Lou, no one’s saying, “don’t pay your mortgage.” What the Congresswoman is saying if you’re being foreclosed on, don’t just leave. Don’t assume you have to leave your house. And you’re going to have a run, I know. And I think what she’ll tell you is, look, we bailed out the banks, but part of that bailout was to help the homeowners, the counselors, the lawyers. Well, in Toledo, Ohio, where are they? Lou.
DOBBS: Well, we should — you know, the fact is that the mortgage brokers, the people who are involved in this, should be being prosecuted in point of fact. Let me be very — just arch about this, if I may — they deserve to be prosecuted, because this is unfair.
Drew, thank you very much. GRIFFIN: Thank you, Lou. DOBBS: Drew Griffin, outstanding reporting.
DOBBS: Joining me now is Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur. You just saw her in Drew Griffin’s report. Congresswoman, let me say to you, if I may, with all objectivity that I can muster, the fairness and balance, God bless you for taking this position. Because it’s about time one of our elected representatives has the guts to say what you’ve said.
KAPTUR: Well, thank you, Lou, very much. You know, 10 percent of our properties have been foreclosed here in the last two years. And our community is not unique. And what has become very clear is that even though we were promised that the Wall Street bailout was primarily to address this home foreclosure crisis, it hasn’t made a bit of difference.
DOBBS: But what I have to ask you now is that Congress has had the opportunity, the Democrats have been in charge of that Congress for two years. We have seen the Republican administration for eight years give corporate America a free hand. . . When are we going to see action by this Congress to relieve, to help the homeowner and take urgent, immediate action because this is not in any way — anything less than a tragedy?
KAPTUR: It’s a national crisis. And it is the proximate cause of this economic downturn; the housing foreclosure crisis. I did everything I could when Congress reconvened this year to urge the President, our Speaker, our leadership to move the FDIC and the SEC into their proper position in this economy to do these workouts.
And that has not been done. And this week we had to pass a stimulus bill in the House to try to pick up some of the casualties and give them a little life support. But the real problem is, that the FDIC and the SEC have been superseded by the U.S. Treasury Department, –
DOBBS: Right.
KAPTUR: — which has no history in workouts. And that’s the problem. They’re using the wrong agency to resolve this crisis.
DOBBS: And Sheila Bair, the Chair of the FDIC, we’ve got to give great credit. She has been talking about this issue –
KAPTUR: Yes.
DOBBS: — throughout. She has been sensitive and forthright about the issue. You know, I guess the issue here also becomes, we are a nation of laws. At what point does telling a person, as you have, to just exercise squatter’s rights — at what point are you bumping up against the issue of breaking the law?
KAPTUR: Well, you know, Lou, the problem is that these families haven’t had proper legal representation. Most of these companies on Wall Street can’t even find the loan, and they have not properly noticed the homeowner under the Truth and Lending Act and the Real Estate Practices Act. DOBBS: Right.
KAPTUR: If you really look at the fine print, these Wall Street firms can’t find the loan. They’ve divided it up into so many pieces, so there’s a legitimate question in the law as to where that deed, where that loan actually is.
DOBBS: In point of fact, it’s not — to be clear, if there’s no note, there is no debt?
KAPTUR: That’s right. And if you don’t have proper legal representation — and I mean good legal representation — what happens to the homeowner in places like our region is, they’re law abiding people. They’re afraid and they leave the property. I say your biggest right is to hold on to your property. The law is on your side.
DOBBS: Marcy Kaptur, I’m sure that millions of Americans and the folks in Ohio appreciate you being on their side.
KAPTUR: Thank you. DOBBS: Marcy Kaptur, thank you very much, Congresswoman from Ohio.

Now is that is a woman with balls….. BRAVO lady. Keep fighting the American people.
We have to come up with a better term than she has balls.
How about.
That woman has Moxie.
That woman has guts to spare.
You’re right NH–let’s ditch the “balls” thing for once and for all. How about “grit,” or “true grit”?
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner!!
Grit. Works for me.

Wow! The starstruck look is off her face. Well, bummer, Campbell. I’ll never watch you again even if you come back to reality!
The MSM is slowly turning, but they have started along this path a couple of times and always ended up back to the Obama lovefest. I’ll be watching curiously to see if they ever really do turn on him. If this is the start of a major turn, I will be surprised. I gave him until about the end of March for the new car smell to wear off.
Yeah, but now you can get “new car smell” in a little spray bottle. A few sniffs and they’ll all be back in tingle-land.
I don’t understand how it’s helpful for people who bought more house than they could afford should stay in the houses - people who put no money down or cashed out their equity to buy expensive cars and vacations and JUNK, people who drove up the market to ridiculous levels with their reckless behavior, shutting responsible people out of the market. Nobody made them sign on the dotted line. They knew there was no such thing as a free lunch. They did it anyway.
These people would be better off renting and rebuilding their credit.
And then the responsible people who had no choice but to rent because the greedy people shut them out of the market, the responsible people who CAN afford to own these houses, who sacrificed and saved, who have been patiently waiting for prices to fall back to reasonable levels, can buy a house at a reasonable price.
Let the market correct itself - anything else is postponing the inevitable, rewarding bad behavior and punishing good.
Hey politicians, what about defending the people who did it right, rather than the irresponsible reckless greedy ones?
Why should the people who sacrificed and are renting pay to keep the greedy irresponsible people in houses they never should have bought? Why can’t the greedy irresponsible people rent???
It makes me sick. If you can’t afford the house, get out. Why should the banks suffer? This was a really BAD idea and scumbag welfare program that sunk America into a depression. Now they want to enforce keeping people in homes they refuse to pay for? What is WRONG with these nuts? Either you can pay for a house, or you can’t. If you can’t, get the hell out.
The thing is, we all know people who did this - we watched them do it. No money down. Taking out home equity loans for luxury items. Bidding against each other, driving up prices to ridiculous levels. Not content to get a modest house, they took out an adjustable rate mortgage to get bigger and better.
You’d say to them, maybe you should think about this. They’d laugh, prices will just keep going up!
While the people who had 20% saved, good credit, and a stable job they worked hard to get were priced out of the market.
THEY GAMBLED, plain and simple.
And now that they lost, they want US to pay.
There are a lot of US out there - fiscally responsible people who sacrificed and saved and waited patiently for the market to correct itself. And are now being told to pay to keep GAMBLERS in houses they can’t afford and never should have bought.
WHAT ABOUT US, POLITICIANS???
Here’s Peter Schiff at US News & World Report:
Earlier this week, I chatted with Peter Schiff, the president of Euro Pacific Capital. Schiff, a notorious bear, argued that the government’s response to the housing crisis has only made matters worse and that the best way to help the market would be to let home prices fall further.
What should the government do about the foreclosure epidemic?
Schiff: We should allow the foreclosure process to go through. We should allow lenders to foreclose if that’s their choice. We should allow them to work out deals with the tenants if that’s what the parties agree to. In many cases, foreclosure is a good thing because it takes somebody out of a property that they couldn’t afford and puts it into the hands of somebody who can afford it. There can be somebody who is living in a house that bought it with nothing down—they are not going to make the payments, so why even modify the loan? They don’t have any equity. When people own houses without any of their own money at stake, they don’t maintain them. It would be better for the bank to foreclose and sell the property to somebody who actually has money, somebody who is a viable homeowner and not some speculator.

You are trying to put all the apples in the “bad” barrell. Some of these people “did it right” but guess what? Losing a job, hundred thousand dollar hospital bills, sick kids, you know, life’s little catastrophies that some time sneaks up and gives you a swift kick, happens. Not everyone whose homes are bein foreclosed on are deadbeat welfare moms. Sh** happens, even to the most responsible people. Why all of a sudden is everyone thinking that if your home is being foreclosed on its because you didn’t deserve it to begin with?
Obviously the borrowers weren’t the only ones to blame here and that’s not what I’m saying. Lenders, banks, investors, regulators, and last but not least, the Bush administration and Congress all get their share of the blame. My point is that in most cases, the borrowers were also to blame - and it makes no sense on any level for the government (which means you and me) to pay for people to live in houses they can’t afford and never should have bought in the first place. Market forces need to be allowed to run their course.
OMG! That woman bought a 140,000 dollar home. She put 40,000 down. That means she owes around 100,000 grand and the banks wants her to pay $1500 dollars a month! WTF! EVen before that she was paying way too much. 800 dollars a month is high for only a 100,000 loan. I have 120,000 on my home left to pay and my house note is only 700 dollars a month.
Come one people, these banks don’t have an issue with foreclosures. Their CEO’s want a pay raise so they are trying to squeeze the shit out of people. Greedy Bastards.
I thought those details on the homeowner in question were absolutely outrageous. This isn’t someone who bought a McMansion; she and her husband put a hefty deposit down. Why then was that mortgage put into a subprime package, something the buyer clearly did not understand? She had no lawyer at settlement but why wasn’t this explained by the mortgage people before settlement? It’s grossly unfair. And I applaud Congresswoman Kaptur for sticking it to the people who deserve to get run through.
It’s about time!
You can always find a case to fit your argument.
So what about the McMansion set? What about the majority of the cases, where the borrower was at least equally to blame?
I will be keeping an Congresswoman Kaptur! I am impressed. Boy, I tell you what, if Hillary never gets another shot at being the first woman POTUS, I would love to see a gutzy woman like this get the honor!
Doesn’t it make you sad, though, that if Hil were POTUS she’d be doing these things to help average people? That was her platform throughout the campaign. She had a plan to rescue homeowners.
There is no other woman that measures up to Hillary Clinton. It makes me so sad. I knew when Obama was the nominee that
i may never see a woman as POTUS in my lifetime. There just isn’t another waiting in the wings. I liked Palin, but I think she would have such a hit squad on her if she runs that she’ll never make it through a primary. It will take years and years for another woman to get as far as Hillary did!
Marcy Kaptur ROCKS!!! Let’s hope that more politicians join her in this fight.
My goodness–a politician who really cares. How rare. How lovely.
Go Rep Kaptur. Althought disappointed you voted for this NOT Stimulus bill, you at least voted against the Bailout (TARP) bill.
So . . . homes are being put into foreclosure and yet the paperwork is missing?
Most of the real estate agencies have signs about foreclosure lists — “come in to see the foreclosure lists”.
Thanks for this article — very helpful information.
Unrelated topic, sorry in advance:
Michael Steele just got elected to be the first african-american RNC chairman.
He seems like a pretty good guy, imho.
Republican - Good guy? Sorry that does not compute.
There’s good and bad people on both sides of the isle. Right now there needs to be a good strong opposition voice in Washington, otherwise everything The Messiah, Pelosi, and Reed do will go unchecked.
Personally, I think Colin Powell would have made a much better President than Bambie.
Sorry to disagree, but he sold his soul when he lied to Congress and the American people about Iraq. He knew better. There is no excuse. He had an incredible reputation and had he dissented, I believe there would have been a different outcome and Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld would not have been able to pull off their rush to war.
but Hampster, you like Sarah Palin, don’t you!
I like the gutsy woman. I do not agree with most of her beliefs. Hate to admit it but I am a bleeding heart liberal from way back and I detest guns in any form for any purpose because the only purpose for a gun is to kill.
Yeah, I do like her.
I’m not a Republican, but yes, Michael Steele is a good guy.
I have watched him for a while now. I like him, too.
Good for Steele. Now that is a real black man. Anyone wants to question that? Ofraud on the other hand…. you know the rest.
Wow - how refreshing to have a congressperson who actually cares about doing the people’s work! NH, please thank Sharyn for this post!
Will do and I’m sure she’ll drop in and make that long over due NoQ account.
Yes, do thank Sharyn for this great report. Go Marcy!
I posted an article on my blog about Representative Kaptur some months ago. She is fabulous. Need to update the blog. Thanks, NQ.
Fannie Mae is renting back foreclosed homes to owners, which I feel is a good idea. I live in a 20 unit condo and 10 are in foreclosure(10 investor owned) who financed at up to 150% of value (bad, bad bankers). Once the renters moved out are complex looks is fighting to maintain some of its value. We are not getting association fees from the bank so we could not pay for snow removal in Chicago. We are claning are own hallways and changing bulbs, we can’t afford maintence. All are money goes to insurance. And, I don’t know if people realize, it takes up to a year to complete the foreclosure process, so they should stay until all legal rememdies are exhausted.
This is change I can believe in!
She’s a badass!
Now that might be a good replacement for balls.
Excellent point. Totally gender neutral.
Glad I could help!
I didn’t pay my phone bill.
I didn’t pay my child support.
I didn’t pay my parking tickets.
I didn’t pay my doctor bills.
I didn’t pay my rent.
I didn’t pay my tuition.
I didn’t pay my college loans.
I didn’t pay my water bill.
I didn’t pay my car payment.
I didn’t pay my mortgage.
Congresswoman Kaptur! Please rescue me!
I agree. You didn’t pay your tuition.
LOL wildchild!
These Obots cannot READ.
Or they are like their messiah — he can read the words but has no comprehension.
Homeowners need qualified/top quality representation — this is the point.
However the immature Obots living in parent’s basements etc. have no comprehension of the reality of life.
And these are the kids and grandkids of boomers — damned what happened to reading comprehension??
Yeah, those compmanies didn’t conspire to steal from you, either.
Big difference.
I mean, you get it, right?
Excellent post Sharyn. Thanks for sharing it NH. I saw Kaptur (with Dominici?) speak before the house vote on the first bailout. We need more like her. A lot more like her. Wow. Just think what a govt peopled with her type would & could do.
oops. She was CNN with DeFazio (not Dominici) before the house vote on the first bailout. She was urging Senators to vote against it. And offering up an alternative. I was impressed with her then. I’m pretty sure Susan posted something about it.
This is an excellent post that reminds me to live within my means so I won’t have to rely on a big spending firebrand Liberal Democrat to bail me out.
If you didn’t live with in your means you wouldn’t have gotten the home loan.
That subprime loan almost doubled her payment (in the video).
If you could handle your mortgage doubling….then great….you a man among boys.
Most can’t. And the banks could figure that out the minute the looked at the numbers and issued the loan.
It is predatory to give a loan to someone under terms which guarantee they will default in a few years. It raised the prices on everyone’s homes and forced the income to debt ratio out of whack for millions of home buyers.
exactly.
How come this woman can pinpoint the problem right away, but the administration and Congress still don’t seem t have it worked out?
Both BOBO and the republicans voted for telecom immunity.
Sorry if this is off topic but Tom Daschle has his own tax problems …

So, when does the change start?
What a crook!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Car and driver — free — jet trips here and there for free.
What a flaming crook!
How are democrat fat cats any different from republican fat cats?
AND then Biden — heading some sort of committee to study middle class — oh sure — that is going to work!! A frat boy appoints another frat boy to study the middle class.
DUMB asses.
Between what Geithner and Tommyboy didn’t pay, this woman could have paid cash for the house. I’m just trying to figure out when the moral outrage kicks in? Is he getting the best and brightest who just happen to be STUPID when it comes to paying their tax liability or stuffing his cabinet full of crooks? Can I guess?
Here’s an idea for the dimbulbs in DC–hire a middle-class advisor who knows something about the subject. Christ, what are these buffoons drinking? Unbelievable.
Hey … didn’t you hear? There was an election and he won!
Oh, yeah. 69 million mouth-breathers said yes to Kool-Aide. Yes they can’t.
Um, did I ever mention how far those 69 million voters would stretch if you had them all hold hands in a big hoop-de-hoop? I did? Never mind . . .
ROFL
Marcy Kaptur rocks! Stay with us Marcy!

IS spammy eating your comments?
On more than one occassion tonight. Apparently the filter did not like the word philosophy. The damn thing is lik a #200 sieve, allowing only the most finely parsed comments through. I’ve about given up for the evening.
It didn’t like “philosophy?” The Almighty Spam Filter piddles on our efforts when we mere mortals attempt rational thought. It’s best to reconcile yourself to being a random victim of Blind Chance.
That damn “spam” filter is a 0.45-micron screen that would be better used for the removal of biologicals from potable water.
To say it is ‘your ‘ property when it is mortgaged is not true. You (or I ) only own the % we have paid for.
(”99.9% of people not having good legal representation” -this in the land of the Lawyer!
What about the situation of a tenant -do they get squatters rights if they cannot afford the rent?
The amount being paid per month eg 800 of 100.000 may reflect a % being paid off the principle.
If people can squat then can those already evicted go back & squat?
BTW - the provision where one can just walk away from a contract (mortgage) is unfathomable .
Homelessness is already a huge problem and it’s going to get lots worse real quick.
What are we going to call the modern Hoovervilles (cuz they’re coming):
Barackovilles? Obamabergs? How about Messiah Cities?
Hey, I’m non-partisan. Bushtowns works for me too.
Maybe Stimutown?

good one.
Flimflam Flats?
I like it! Sounds like a good place to sit around the campfire, play the harmonica, and swap tales of the olden days when we had cars and homes!
and when a man’s word wasn’t prepackaged, prefabricated, pandering.
Hey! Folk music is going to make a big comeback! I’m
going toa gonna dig my old gittar outta the garage, peel the peace stickers offa it, and see if I can recall me a few chords . . .I’ll git me a few trash cans for percussion and we’ll have a band a-fore you know it.
Heck yeah, I got me warshboard and a set spoons that ain’t been ett on, can make us a mess a music.
Jes’ so’s you remember-yer gonna need that there warshboard fer the laundry . . .
ROFLMAO! Water spew on the keyboard.
And I’ll make sher that thar trashcan is clean a-fore I bring it to the hootenannie.
I understand it is a mega problem but you have to protect the economic system .
Congresswoman Kapur needs to put forward measures . That is her job.
She seems to be doing as much as any of the other Democrats(sic) … Maybe you need to step away from the bodice rippers …
People living on the streets aren’t working, which casts a distinct pall on the economic system, don’t you think?
I guess when you have a smug and condescending attitude toward your fellow man, the “economic system” is working for you? Is the the change and hope? Gee …
Agreed. The economic system ceases to exist when people aren’t working. I guess tepid bookworm forgot that pesky little fact.
Make some Hobo stew; in AMerican Recovery and Investment village, “ARIA”, oh the irony, I can’t stand it.
I could put a few suggestions for the camp songbook.
johnny Cash’s “Where have all the hobos gone”.
The new chorus…”we’re back Johnny”
That’s the spirit, now you’re getting into it. I wonder who’s going to evict the “squatters” created by Kaptur’s new plan. Well, the local police sure aren’t going to want to do it. It’s going to take an enforcement crew with real dedication: I suggest the new Civilian Defense Force, or whatever the heck it is to be called. With all the bucks ACORN is going to be getting, they could probably help out too.

One Meatball -by ry cooder.
Many people agree that Sheila Bair’s plan at the FDIC to deal with the housing crisis directly (as Clinton recommended a YEAR ago) is critical to stopping the bleeding, but Treasury Sec (and tax cheat) Geithner doesn’t like Bair–another annoyingly smart and strong woman–and he and neanderthal Summers are isolating her. Now, with none of the plans working so far, they are taking another look at Bair’s ideas.
Duh.
Let’s get real….
When people are thrown out of their homes, the home value’s for their neighbors decreases, the property values plummit and whole communities are affected.
Police, who are paid by an already strapped city/state authority are then forced to patrol whole neighborhoods of abandoned homes ripe for the picking by drug dealers and those who go in looking for anything to rip out and sell for profit.
I know of several cases where the home buyer SPECIFICALLY wanted a fixed rate 30-year mortgage and instead the loan officer tried to “slip-in” an adjustable rate because they work on commissions.
There may be some who bit off more home than they could afford, but most people living in middle-class neighborhoods and got scammed by the very people who were the first to line up for a government bailout package!

Why are you letting us go without and giving all this to illegal Immigrants?
Not to even mention what you and all the others let Bush give away.
