State Government Citizens Rally in Tally Against Foreclosure Fraud

BRADENTON -- The Mortgage Justice Group, ForeclosureHamlet and 4closurefraud join Awake the State, the
Coalition of Occupy Foreclosure Working Groups movement, and other groups across the nation
to rally at the capital in Tallahassee for the annual FORECLOSURE AWARENESS DAY RALLY
on Feb. 16, 2012. The rally is to bring awareness about illegal foreclosures and to stop the
Florida legislature from making Florida a non-judicial state, thus denying citizens ”due process“ in
court.

Several Florida legislative bills, particularly HB 213 sponsored by Kathleen Passidomo and the
amended PCB, SB 1890 sponsored by Jack Latvala, if passed would preclude homeowners from
defending a foreclosure in order to "fast track" the foreclosure process, denying Floridians their
day in court.

FREE buses, traveling up both coasts of Florida, will pick up participants along the way to the
capital. Rep. Scott Randolph, Rep. Darren Soto, attorney activist Matt Weidner, citizen activist
Lisa Epstein and other nationally known speakers will be presenting new vital information about
the foreclosure situation. Participants will be meeting with members of the legislature to express
their objections to the bills.

While other states like Nevada, Delaware and Massachusettes have begun investigating and
prosecuting foreclosure fraud, some in the Florida legislature seem intent on speeding up the
process, leaving homeowners displaced and often homeless. In some counties in Florida 25% of
children are homeless. Many feel this number will only increase if these bills are passed.

Homeowners are facing continued frustration by the lack of assistance from any branch of
government, the legislature, or the judicial system. Even homeowners not in foreclosure are
struggling to cope with its effects on property values, decreasing community/school property tax-
based revenue, deteriorating communities, and prolonged damage to our economy.
