Why do I do this? -ANSWER TO MANY READERS

SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS; COME TO THE WORKSHOPS IN SANTA MONICA 9/3-9/4

I am inspired to do this out of a profound sense of justice and a sense of calling that tells me I can make a difference — not only to the people whose lives will be tragically disrupted with a stain and stigma that will follow them through the rest of their lives, but also for the economy and national security of our country. We converted from the country that innovated new technology in science, medicine and the arts and made things of real value and did things of real value — to a country that creates funny money and now it is catching up with us. Our standing in the international community is in free-fall.

Our entire standard of living for the typical hard-working American citizen is jeopardized and few people seem to sense the impending disaster. Every civilization has its end and while I am not predicting Armageddon, there is little doubt that unless a massive transfer of wealth occurs putting real value back into the pockets of our citizens our society will continue to operate as though nothing is wrong until we are already over the cliff sinking into the abyss of third world nation status or at least not-so-important. I think the American Experiment is more important than the profits of a few people and the retention of power by those who are paid to look the other way.

I see this as an opportunity to make that statement, even if it hurts a bunch of financial institutions whose centralized power and services are of dubious value. I look forward to speaking with you and would love an invitation to appear via telephone on any radio or TV show.

You have correctly perceived that I am not in this for the money. But the ability of the volunteer system I have developed is being strained to the breaking point. So I am publishing a book on the Homeowner’s War, Publishing Workbooks for Lay People and Lawyers who attend my seminars, taking speaking fees where payment is available, and even considering an infomercial that will promote websites that provide law-cost help with forms, video explanations and even oral argument that could be played to a judge. It is the pro se litigants that are the real soldiers in the war. They are the ones with a stake in the outcome. The lawyers are generally too lazy, too busy or too greedy for up front retainers to see the opportunities here for them. The typical lawyer, just from referrals off my site can earn easily $15,000-$20,000 per month in retainers and more than 3 times that in contingencies or fee recoveries at the end of each case. The problem is they don’t see it even when it is presented in black and white in front of them.

Thus homeowners (57% right now) give up and walk away from homes that I believe they could own free and clear if they would just stand up and fight. I can give them the tools but I am not interested in practicing law anymore and I can’t appear in 20 million cases.
