What rights does the Census Bureau have?

Have you completed the Census yet? What were you asked? What do you think about this video? Don’t they only ask 10 questions this year? What has been your experience?

Thank you, Martin, for this.

Everything’s Amazing & Nobody’s Happy

Many of us tend to take all the wonderful things we have available to us everyday for granted. This video makes that point in a unique way. Please enjoy the clip and learn from its message, take time to realize how wonderful our world is and really appreciate all the things that make our daily life great.

Are the banks working to help homeowners keep their homes?

Here’s one opinion. What’s been your experience?

I originally posted this on February 12, but the video was taken down because the guys received a response from the FDIC!  Here’s the new video.

Haiti

If you still haven’t decided how you can help in Haiti, how about giving to Wine to Water, the gift of clean water. This video is not about their efforts in Haiti, but shows you who Wine to Water is.

Here is an excerpt I received today from a letter Doc Hendley just sent from Haiti:

“We are working to get out 500 filters that will give 5000 people clean water for over 5 years at a purity of 99.95 percent. They are amazing. My hope is that in the next few weeks we can have enough money to build a few thousand of these filters.”

“Money is worth nothing right now, water is the currency.”

Thanks.

Worse Mortgage Crises Coming

The last mortgage crises was led by sub-prime loans. The next mortgage crises is being led by the “higher quality” loans; Alt A loans, interest only that are now converting to interest plus principle loans loans and Option Arm loans that started out with unreasonably low “teaser interest rates” that will now adjust up like the sub-primes did.

Mortgage Rate Resets

Here in 2009, we are only at the beginning of the next, many say, larger default wave.

Turning Wine to Water

I voted for Doc Hendley for CNN’s top hero. He is a local boy, graduating in 1997 from Ragsdale High School here in North Carolina, and he’s truly making a difference in the world.

Doc is working to bring clean drinking water to more than 26,000 people in countries like Cambodia and Sudan and Peru. He’s built wells in 6 countries already and started the non-profit group Wine to Water.

This group builds wells and trains people to build and fix wells and to install special bio-filters that can clean water.

The winner of the CNN contest receives $100,000 for his or her program. You can vote as many times as you like.  The winner will be announced Thanksgiving night.

My passion is clean water for the world. What’s yours? What are you doing about it?

Vote for your favorite and do something today to make a difference in your world.
