WE DID IT! ALL COMMON CORE BILLS DIE IN LEGISLATURE
Congratulations Randy for your great leadership and changing hearts and minds. Thank you all for your calls, lobbying, speaking and financial support of Randy. It took all of us pulling together. The fight is not over. We are yet almost $3,000 short of paying Randy so please continue working to raise more money. This is a "battle won" but it is not the war. The opposition is regrouping and will be working harder than ever to gain control of our children..
See Randy's report: Stop Common Core
A Battle Won
As we began this journey several weeks ago, many bills had been written already, many were out of committee, and some were days from being passed into law. Our goals were simply to slow down the implementation of Common Core and to stop the intrusive data-mining between the State and the Federal Government. Through your help and by the grace of God, we were able to accomplish both of these goals.
The following is an update of bills that we have been fighting:
Senate Bill 878- A bill sponsored by Senator Galvano was a very intrusive bill that would have connected over 400 data points with the federal government. Though we were able to get a portion of the language out of the bill such as religious and political affiliation as well as a few other points, we were not able to get the bill completely stopped. The Senate unanimously passed this bill, sent it to the House which, again, unanimously passed it with a small amendment. Through the tireless efforts of our supporters, the bill died in committee. Frankly, for a bill to die, having moved this far through the process, is very unlikely. In fact, we were concerned that the language was placed in another bill not related to education. After the tedious analysis of thousands of pages of legislation and the end of session, we knew the bill indeed had died.
House Bills such as 7027 and 7057 also died which had similar language to SB878.
Senate Bill 1630' s language was moved into another bill and was passed. This bill requires technological load testing of systems prior to implementation of Common Core. In this good bill, sponsored by Senator Legg, we asked that there be language requiring a short and long term cost analysis of Common Core prior to implementation. Though this language was not put in the bill, we believe that we will be able to get this language into a bill in next year's session.
Make no mistake - we have won a battle but the war is still raging and Common Core proponents are working hard to stop our coalition. We must not let them win! Our children's and our nation's futures are at stake!
The following is our course of action:
• Educate - We must educate the voters, parents, teachers, school board members, and our politicians. We are currently developing a plan to create a state-wide effort to accomplish this task.
• Engage - We must expand our statewide coalition to build a force of citizens to hold our elected officials accountable to stop Common Core.
• Fund - We must help fund this cause. $25.00 from 200 supporters would greatly help in this endevor to fight Common Core. We need your help now! We can't do this alone. We need your help and financial support. You can make checks payable to:

Those of you who have been following Agender newsletters and radio shows know that one of the most important pieces of legislation ever before the Florida legislature was the legislation to "speed up" foreclosures. Despite a legal opinion, done pro bono in the public interest, by famed attorney Henry Trawick, esteemed godfather of Florida civil law and author of "Trawick's Florida Practice and Procedure", the legislature passed the foreclosure legislation. Why? Because the title companies want to cover up the fraud . Large contributions are flowing behind the scenes and there is a total lack of commitment to serve the public interest and to act from information rather than emotion.
Right now, YOU taking action immediately is the only thing standing between this vote and the Governor signing it into law. Make no mistake, if he signs it, you will witness an ugly legal fight. But while that moves forward it might not be enough to save families from losing their homes.
So here's the why behind this:
If you are a responsible family, still employed and paying your bills—there have been over 700 families identified who never missed a mortgage payment and were foreclosed upon anyway. They were identified in the National Mortgage Settlement. To put that in perspective, think a subdivision of 100 houses, which would be a large subdivision, and think 7 subdivisions full of families, all doing nothing wrong and having their homes stolen. Under this new legislation, not only would you lose your right to defend yourself with the "speeded up" procedure, but you no longer could get your house back if you could prove it was fraudulently taken, only monetary damages. To put this in perspective, think of the news stories about paintings stolen in Nazi Germany and antiquities from nations. Literally, this provision alone would change centuries of property law. And as for monetary damages, good luck collecting in Florida and as for what the banks think is fair, read the next item.
If you have had problems and tried to deal with your bank, there are literally millions like you. In the National Settlement, consultants earned $20,000 per homeowner file and the typical payment to homeowners who tried to deal with their bank and was unsuccessful is $300 (and no that isn't a typo).
If you are a renter, under Federal law, you are entitled to 90 days' notice if the home you are renting goes into foreclosure and you have a valid lease. Under this new legislation, you could find you were homeless when the sheriff is at the door. Literally. Talk to a Sandy hurricane victim or an earthquake victim and find out just how your life can be changed when you must rescue a household in minutes.
If you believe that servicemembers should be protected when serving our country, in a rare show of bipartisanship, so did Congress. We all know they can't agree on anything. But they implemented the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act to protect active servicemembers. Then they found that contrary to the Act, servicemembers were still being foreclosed. Then they responded, this is unreasonable and insisted any family like this should get $125,000 for wrongful foreclosure. Well, guess what? The checks are now in the mail and servicemembers are finding their checks are for $800 rather than $125,000.
Heard enough? This is the kind of fraud and deceit that this bill covers up. Some of its lovely "protections" include:
It's retroactive (which only the Florida Supreme Court can do legally)
It mandates hearings by judges in chambers and tilts to the plaintiff (in violation of Florida public courts law and the constitution)
It takes away renters rights of notice (in violation of Federal law)
It takes away homeowners rights to get their home back if they find fraud (and since discovery is no longer allowed with "fast tracking"--good luck)
The homeowner has to pay their mortgage while defending it (this despite proof that many times the plaintiff suing is not the correct plaintiff
--don't ask us to explain that one simply just accept that it's a securitization problem)
So, there are several steps to take. Sign the petition here (and don't waste energy on who sponsored it, we, Florida citizens are all in this together):
Call Governor Scott and tell him what you think. He may make a decision early Monday, so get those calls very early Monday.
Write him a short note and tell him you are a Republican or Independent or Democrat and you are opposed to this legislation. http://www.flgov.com/contact-gov-scott/email-the-governor/
Thanks for your help. Your constitutional, property rights and due process rights are on the line. And don't think that if this goes forward, it will only apply to foreclosures. We've already seen "robo-signing", otherwise commonly known as forgeries, in credit card cases. If you don't fight for your rights on this one, expect them to go in other areas.

NEVER STOP TALKING. Marxists want you to SHUT YOU UP. Hence we have the silent majority and we have learned that too well. We are strong and 70-80% of us are are unhappy. Our job is to connect with them. They will not come to us. We must go to them. Once we become an individual with a name and personality, it is hard for the media to call you names that stick. Can you make it you job to talk to 5 new people a week. Can you write a letter to the editor, call your local new show. IF EVERYONE DID THAT BY ELECTION TIME WE WOULD HAVE THE NUMBERS WE NEED. Do not think you can reach everyone. If you meet resistance, just say NEXT. Click here for some great ideas look at the Presentation and Solutions page for more ideas. Send us your ideas.
