Who are we?

Refund California is a state-wide coalition of homeowners, community members, faith leaders and students working to make Wall Street banks pay for destroying jobs and neighborhoods with their greedy, irresponsible and predatory business practices.  The campaign aims to fix the housing crisis by pursuing a widespread mortgage principal reduction program that will create 300,000 California Jobs and inject over $20 billion into the economy. The campaign also seeks to restore needed state revenue by making Wall Street banks pay their fair share and rebuild California neighborhoods by helping homeowners and penalizing banks for foreclosures and blight. Refund California is also aligned with the The New Bottom Line, a nationwide coalition of 1,000 faith-based and community organizations that seek to hold Wall Street accountable.

“Are they puppets of Wall Street?” Why, yes, they are. President Obama, who demagogues Wall Street at every turn, is known as “President Goldman Sachs” for the large number of Wall Street insiders who work for his administration.

If you ACTUALLY BELIEVE the Democrats will ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING about the problems you’re protesting, then you are a rube.

If you don’t believe the Democrats will do anything, why vote for them?

But the Occupy organizers, like Stephen Lerner of SEIU, don’t want to reform the system. They want to destroy it. Lerner has said so out loud on more than one occasion. If that happens, you can kiss your precious institutions of higher education goodbye.

It’s your call. I’m betting you’ll continue your campaign of destruction. Hopefully the results won’t be comparable to Sherman’s “march to the sea” during the Civil War…

Why is the government not doing much about this after bailing out Wall Street with trillions of dollars. Are they puppets of Wall Street?
