Please Vote Tomorrow, November 4, 2008

If you haven't already voted, and you are an American citizen, please vote tomorrow.

 I support Barack Obama and would ask you to vote for him too.

If you care about equality, fairness, and the foundations of liberty that this country was built on, I would also ask you, as a Californian, to vote no on Prop 8, a heinous proposition that would encode bigotry and hate into the California Constitution by stating that currently legal marriages will no longer be performed simply because they don't fit someone's religiously-based definition of marriage. It wasn't that long ago that marriage between people of different races was illegal. However, it is now hard to fathom how  such discrimination was considered acceptable in civil society. The discrimination behind Prop 8 is no different, and history will judge us harshly if we legalize and enforce that sort of bigotry again. I strongly urge you, for the good of your own personal liberty, and for the protection of our nation's tradition of equality, to vote NO on Prop 8.

Thanks for listening, and please go out and vote.

I support you and echo your cause to get everyone out and vote.

And also vote NO on Prop 8. There should be no discrimination.

So what are they doing with the bailout money?

The FDIC said today they were implementing a plan to help 2.2M of the 4.4M of Homeowners in trouble. This means 50% will not qualify to get modified. They will need a way out of those properties. We have to help those who do not have the income to stay in their homes, we should allow for easier assumptions of existing loans.

This also means our window to buy REOs at unbelievable prices will not be here forever. The flow of new REOs will slow down and the housing market will stabilize once the excess inventory is absorbed.
