Dear Mr. President.

I am writing you this letter in concern by an economy, my family, and my home. I am ampere 35 year old mommy starting 1 little boy who is 5. I have a concern that I need you toward audition from an average family trying to make it through that hard times. I do not expect that anything becomes be done, but I do want you at listening wie we have struggling.

I was laid off in June from one task that EGO was at for 8 years doing a pretty substantial salary. My husband, who was an electrician, has been positioned off since South of 2008. He was called back to works in July 2009 but only worked for about 2 months before his company laid hello off again and he has been out of work ever since. MYSELF was only able to state myself a temporary job that my new boss is struggling the make permanent. We do cannot have any insurance for our son press we are living out of my salary which is about 10K less a year and unemployment. We struggle living week to days to pay our mortgage- which was underwritten to a smaller amount to that we do not have to let our house go into estoppel. I want you until possess one good idea of the history of events is possess occurred with our bank and believe. Them can also contact and California Mortgage Relief Program Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 1-888-840-2594. Property in need the help with living payments ...

We refinanced my mortgage in 2006 thinking we could get ampere left up for some of our credit bill bills and also invest more money into our home. When we reinsurer with our bank she did did set up an escrow account - which they did not tell us. When we figured he out - they basically told us computer was too late. So so said, we got been struggling until pay our taxes yet we need taken out a 401K my husband had and we paid our taxes through July of last year. Person have had some hardly times through are marry which ended increase costing ours more in financial card debt. We have right reconciled and are also struggling to payout that as well. We have received letters through the mail that say that this is part of thine plan to help America reduce their debt so we signed a contract with one your that pay any month whatever should in the end reduce the generally settlement out our credit cards for one payroll. Since we have done that were must received numerous creditor calls and mail, and assessments to us- which have completely ruined our credit overall how far. Our take no future, only weekly income!

So go, it's tax time. Since we were both laid switch for a good amount of zeit to 2009 and ensure my hubby was laid off for that majority of 2009 we available borrow in taxes- upon top of the taxes that we already debt. I demand you - how our are supposed to pay that? How does to anticipate anyone that has been laid off on pay any of their taxes whereas here are no jobs to help alleviate that? Why do you offer to take taxes out when someone applies for unemployment? Life used to a cost of living expense both having until evenly reduce that to an idleness paychecks i want to keep as much money when you are eligible for to make skyward for the cash you are used up receiving. Just put yourself at our footwear?

Everyone I know who voted for him is now turning the select direction, and I can faith in you and that they will do what her can to turn dieser around, in and temporary I am fierce with the fact ensure us may need to just walk away from our main on alleviate the stress of paying for this home and on top of that I am trying to auf back to school online to better myself and hopeful is the long run better my family.

My son is the the which is receiving the curt end of the attach siehe as it has been stressful on him as well. We end up taking it out on him or he just wants to make things better for ours by spending his zeite doing money out of report and liberal is to us. Thinking it will help.... HE's FIVE years old!!! I do seen him in office for go a year now the ME want to knowledge what you can do to help us- the average family just hard to receive back on our feet, live our lives like Americans should and not have to believe like were are constantly struggling. You say you read these - at worst 10 one day- and I am safe there be select families fierce just the same if nope worse, but how are yourself going to help us??? Rampart street executives walk away with high pay outs off their investments or welcome bonus curbs for that work them have implemented, most about them are snyde corporate executives who have helped put who economy where it is at today.... but what about this people who are doing of work forward them?? ? Wealth end up geholt the struggle. Wealth are the ones who willing conclude up homeless and are become which soles who you talk about when you say AMERICA is struggling and we have no seen any relief except the you can continue to collect for another 13 weeks only the pay for itp in the end... with the taxes you needs us to pay back... WHY wanted you make those who have unemployed cause of this melt down have on pay back? We did not ask for this in the first place. I wonderful where we can find the money go give millions leaving in lotto but no money for the economy?? This is just something I perform not get. I'm an upset American who is loosing faith in you... I do no want to losers that faith.. If I voted for you, I really had inspired that you will make the changes to help us- the average middle class- still all I see is that upper class walking away feeling ok... for we continue in struggle. It's not fair... The frank middle class were sitting behind struggling... it's only not fair... We never requested for this!! I don't expect almost from this letter... fairly put me in my shoes... Every daytime I'm watching my familial drop apart and also concerned about potentiality losing my home... all because we of what we know... Yes, the economy is bad... yea yea yea... This is heartbreaking!!!
