I started a "Ning" social network site in order to bring together people in Clackamas County who are concerned about current efforts to turn America into a Socialist country. We are gathering together as a means of voicing our concerns over this drastic 'change" Mr. Obama wants to impose on us.

Http://www.afpclackamas.com is the site we are using to recruit Patriots who are determined to resist the overthow of the free enterprise system that is the glue that keeps freedom alive.

I encourage all who value Liberty, Free Enterprise, and a prosperous future to join Americans for Prosperity.

In February, US foreclosures are reported up by more than 67% over January's numbers. That translates into 121,756 new foreclosures completed. This tops the previous record monthly high of 104,243 which occurred in September of '08.

Initial pre-foreclosure filings also increased to the highest level- hitting 207,703 in February, up more than 9% from the previous high set in December, '08 (190,467).

The Mortgage Banker's Association has produced a somewhat depressing report on deliquency rates. The National Delinquency Survey reported that the delinquency rate for mortgage loans on one-to-four-unit residential properties rose to a new record seasonally adjusted rate of 7.88 percent of all loans outstanding as of the end of fourth-quarter 2008. Imagine that... almost 1 out of 12 residential loans across America are in some stage of delinquency.. a rate that does NOT include those loans that are actually somewhere in the foreclosure process yet!

Inventory of bank owned homes is swelling. In order to move this inventory, the first time homebuyer market MUST be revived. That market creates momentum for the move-up market. Low interest rates and the $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit helps. But in the end, employment is key. A strong and vigorous economy is the ONLY way to turn the market around.

In Oregon, bank owned and pre-foreclosures are rising, too, of course. To review the current inventory of bank owned and pre-foreclosure listings, go to http://www.realtyadvisorsweb.com/Foreclosures.html

If we continue recent historic levels of deficit government spending, we will surely create enormous inflation, (decling purchasing power of the dollar), high interest rates, and a much lower standard of living across the board. In truth, such enormous borrowing by our government has scary national security ramifications. http://mckee.activerain.com/post/954743/deficits-imperil-america-s-future-just-say-no-

Here is the best MLS search engine that I've come across! Search home listings from Vancouver, WA, south from Portland to Eugene, OR.. and west to the ocean. Save your search and return whenever it's convenient.

Why use this search engine? Because it simply provides more ways to search: price history, detailed property info, maps-including street level view, comparable sales tool to determine what similar homes in the neighborhood have sold for, RSS feeds which send you changes and new listings that match your search criteria, financing calculator.. and much more. You can even restrict the search to bank owned and short sale listings ONLY. This tool is the best!

The past few months of incredible borrow and spend policy decisions by the new administration will result in incredible inflation down the road. The mortgage meltdown has been a convenient "cover" for the true nature of the spending spree. This was not a stimulus bill... it is much better described as a defacto financing for far left political organizations and causes. The tactics used to pass this bill... (closed door, one party meetings to draft the bill- and the urgency to pass the "emergency recovery bill" with not ONE senator having read the full bill) are right out of the Marxist playbook.

The Obama administration, and the people he has, or is trying to appoint to "lead" our country, will lead to our ultimate destruction, if we don't quickly resist the insanity. Already, it will take many years to recover from the immense debt burden and the far left policies this debt is paying for.

If you are part of the Silent Majority, it's time to become "not so silent". Our nation is at a crossroads and the time for action is now.

This short video summarizes how we must regain our sense of unity, and turn away Marxism and the "collective" mindset that is being forced upon us. This is America, not some Marxist dictatorship. To insure the freedom fought and paid for by the blood of our ancestors we must be willing to take serious and forceful action to remove Marxist/Socialists from power by educating our friends, family and associates of the peril we face. WE must expose the lies for what they are. We must encourage all patriots to vote and pressure our elected officials to stand behind AMERICAN ideals. We must resist with all our might the tyranny being shoved down our throats by incompetents, tax cheats, and elitist liars who peddle the stench of death and and destruction with the mindless chant for "change". For freedom to reign, the last thing we need is this kind of "change".

Want to find foreclosures, bank owned reo's, and short sale opportunities fast, and with very little effort? want a daily update as new opportunities come to market?

This video explains a way to do that using the MLS search on my website. (hey, it's my first attempt at video in this manner, so the production value needs to be improved..) http://www.realtyadvisorsweb.com/Foreclosures.html
