MIAMI-DADE VOTER FRAUD OR JUST A MISTAKE?

I blogged a couple of blogs ago regarding an article written by Evan M. Rosen urging voting against your elected officials that voted in favor for SB1890 and HR213 bills the “Fair Foreclosure Act.  In following up, I determined which elected officials voted in favor of these bills and I set out to vote against them.   How foolish of me to think that I would be able to do something that is within my Constitutional Rights.

On Friday, October 26, I called the Miami-Dade County Elections Department to inquire about my voter registration card and license having different addresses.  I was informed by the man with whom I spoke that I would have no problem voting.  Regardless of the address issue, early voting gave me the opportunity to vote at any site I choose, removing the issue of having to vote at a specific location.  The person I spoke with did not ask for my name, voter id number or any other information. 

Upon arriving at voting site 5050 W Flagler Street, Miami, Florida, I was informed that I was removed from the voter registration lists.  WHY?  This is how it basically played out.  Olyme Moreno, asked for my driver’s license, checked me in her computer system and informed me that I was removed from the list.   Olyme requested my voter’s registration card, which I provided.   Unable to find me, again she insisted that Miami-Dade County Elections had removed my name from the list.  “Sorry” the most I could do was to have a “provisional ballot” and “if the elections department decided I was not eligible to vote they would throw out my vote.”  WHY?   Olyme then realized that I had moved noting that was the reason they removed me from voting.   WHAT?  The fact that I was honest about the change of residence was my doing.  If I would have given the Elections Department any acceptable identification that did not indicate my address, Olyme would not have known I had moved.  So tell me again Elections Department, WHY did you remove me from the voter registration list?  Kashira (sp?) the Elections Supervisor was informed of the problem and indicated that I had moved and that caused me to be removed from voting. 

No Kashira,that is not an acceptable excuse.  Tell the truth; the Elections Department mistakenly removed me from the voter registration list.   Period!

ELECTED OFFICIALS VOTE AGAINST HOMEOWNERS

I follow Foreclosure Attorney, Evan M. Rosen on Twitter.  I am unclear how I found his blog but, the information is useful and educational. 

Foreclosure Attorney, Evan M. Rosen wrote an article September 2012 regarding House Bill HB213 called the “Fair Foreclosure Act” that is intended to streamline the process of foreclosure and restrict homeowner’s rights.  This bill was passed 94-17.  This bill was not fair to homeowners but was very generous to the big  bad banks.  

As Mr. Rosen indicates, “94 of Florida’s elected officials voted to allow banks to kick Floridians out of their homes faster!”   He suggests that we check how our House Representative voted, so I did.  Even though the odds were against me, I thought I would check for myself.  Much to my displeasure I found that Nelson and Diaz both voted in favor of HB213.  Sadly these are our elected officials and their responsibility should be to their constituents / citizens.   Mr. Nelson and Mr. Diaz this time YOU FAILED US!  WE WILL VOTE AGAIN !

I also follow 4Closure Fraud on Twitter.  Again, I am unable to tell you how I began following them nor can I tell you who writes their blog.  I find them interesting, current and informative.  4Closure Fraud also wrote on the SB 1890, the same bill mentioned by Mr. Rosen HR(213).  The "Fair Foreclosure Act" did not pass Senate fortunately for us. 

The fact that it did not pass does not mean we can let our guards down.  We must call our elected officials  to voice our opinion and vote against the politicians that voted in favor of this law.  There is strength in numbers !    Please stand up and be counted !    VOTE it is your right !
