This past month I noticed there was an official document that real estate appraisers were being black listed by banks unless they came up with the inflated bank determined value of the property being financed. This started back in 1999, and I just saw it on RT.com (or similar) news report just last month. Supposedly, this lays the framework for RICO action against the banks and other knowing parties.

Since our state and federal attorneys general have not filed criminal RICO, I saw an ad claiming that one can file civil RICO actions. The ad sells template documents to fill-in and file your own lawsuit. What I am looking for is to join a class action or find attorneys willing to initiate such actions. Does any one know of any current class actions or attorneys willing to initiate such actions, especially in Florida?

Does anyone know of a way to file an action and at the same time and withhold payments while the action is pending?

OK, so I'm paranoid! But don’t you miss KO’s coverage during these past weeks of coordinated union busting when it was needed most? To me, the loss of Olbermann at 8 PM cannot be made up (of course it can’t, Keith!) by the remaining hosts in their current time slots. Moving passionate Ed Schultz to the caboose slot at 10 PM diminished his effectiveness, IMO, and was a second blow to the liberal line up.

It’s just enough to keep MSNBC in the liberal column while something major, like coordinated union busting, can be accomplished!

Do you think Olbermann’s sacking and the GOP effort to kill unions is more than just coincidence?

Wow! I no longer have to keep looking up who is the US Attorney General. That's because Eric Holder has been in the news three (3) times this past month:
1) He announces that he's investigating three hedge funds -- TOO LATE!
2) Announces cases against 300+ individuals for $8+ billion -- TOO LITTLE!
3) Decides to go after WkikLeaks founder, Julian Assange -- YOU CHICKENSHIT BULLY!

Where was Holder during this first two years of the administration? Will someone point out some major prosecutions or convictions he has executed during that period?

Replace Emanuel, Sommers, and Geithner with Howard Dean, Brooksley Born, and Elizabeth Warren. (Yes, I know Warren is up for a current slot! And there are good alternatives for Howard Dean in case he would reject it.)

Posting this letter to Pres. Obama here in hopes that Emanuel's staff does not screen it (how stupid of me!) 1st diary, so mercy please!
