Do Take It Personal

Home Values Declining at Record Pace, What can Civic Leaders and Representatives Do?

For the majority of us, our home is the biggest asset in our lives. We spend the most money each and every month maintaining the roofs and walls above and around our heads and bodies. What if we can’t afford to do that anymore? What if economic conditions outside of our control dictate that our home is now worth less in value than the amount we owe on our mortgage? We have no equity, we can’t sell our house at the price we bought it for, and sometimes ….. people are simply walking away instead of carrying the debt any longer.

This scenario is occurring more and more often, particularly here in Southeast Michigan, where layoffs after layoffs continue to hurt our abilities to keep our homes, to sustain healthy communities, and to remain optimistic. ‘Do Take It Personal’ cares about the little people, the hardworking people of the middle-class, because we strongly believe that our neighborhoods need these people. We cannot allow more homes to be foreclosed, we cannot allow more people to move out of Michigan, we cannot allow bad politicians to remain in power and bad cops to hurt the people. We must take matters personally.

Let’s start by contacting our civic leaders and our representatives.

• Tell them to remove the bad cops.
• Tell them to remove the bad politicians.
• Tell them to get rid of bad public policies.
• Tell them to get rid of bad taxes that discourage businesses.
• Tell them to help entrepreneurs to thrive.
• Tell them to improve people’s lives in Michigan.

If our civic leaders and representatives would only accomplish the few short objectives above, Michigan residents and Metro Detroiters will be able to better help themselves prosper. As we prosper among ourselves, we will be able to afford paying a bigger amount every month on our mortgages. This will most certainly prevent us from losing our homes.
