Supes Report; “Fraudclosures Forum” Tuesday
Occupy House to be Seized by Bank Wednesday

Free (Donations Welcome). For information,
chair [at] wilpf.got.net or call 457-6797.
In April over 53,000 California homes are scheduled for auction, 2,500 homes on the auction block
every single weekday. The overwhelming majority of them are actually “fraudclosures”, the result of
illegal & fraudulent actions by the big banks. In Santa Cruz there are 192 scheduled auctions just for
the month of May. That's hardship, stress & expense for families & neighborhoods.
Chief speaker: Ms. CJ Holmes, creator of the nonprofit Homeowners For Justice. leading a nationwide
effort to stop foreclosures and keep people in their homes. (See
http://www.hofj.org )
The foreclosures cheat our cities, counties & states out of millions of dollars from unpaid recording
fees and 30% lower home values, costing the local economy about $20,000 per foreclosure. 8,000
homes in this country already foreclosed, and another 11,000 in the pipeline. Cash from anywhere in
the world can buy our real estate at unbelievably low prices, but right now over 80,000 families in the
11 Bay Area Counties cannot get a loan to buy a home regardless of income, credit score or cash
reserves since they lost a home to foreclosure or short sale in the last 3 years.” Co-sponsored by Santa
Cruz WILPF and Occupy SC Stop Foreclosure Working Group.

D.A. Withholding or Destroying Video?
Motion to Compel Hearing Friday May 18 8:15 AM Dept. 6
D.A. Bob Lee's “Conspiracy to Commit Journalism” prosecutions against the Santa Cruz Eleven [SC-11]
seek a possible 7 years in prison for a peaceful protest at a vacant Wells Fargo Bank building on and after
November 30, 2011. In spite of repeated promises, assistant D.A. Rebekah Young has refused to hand over 20+
hours of police video of the event, plus hours more not yet downloaded from the police server months later.
Young has twice used sworn police testimony about the video to further her “conspiracy” theories in Preliminary
Hearings. On Friday the defense will demand Young show the videos.
