This week, the state Attorneys General will begin negotiations with the big banks on the terms of the settlement to their fraudulent practices. While the final details will take weeks to hammer out, the opening salvo will determine what stays on – or gets kicked off – the negotiating table.

The stakes couldn’t be higher.

On Tuesday March 29, thousands of Americans will participate in a nationwide call-in day, demanding that their Attorney General “stand with homeowners, not the big banks.”

For years, homeowners have been engaged in a lopsided fight with the nation’s largest banks to save their homes. The big banks have bullied and bribed their way towards ensuring that they don’t have to help homeowners, even if it means breaking the law. At every step along the way, the very people and institutions that are supposed to protect homeowners have instead given in to the big banks. Millions have lost their homes needlessly.

The state Attorneys General could change all of this. They can step up and do what nobody else has had the guts to do – stand firmly on the side of homeowners and go toe-to-toe with the big bankers.

We have begun to make this change, but we need to keep the momentum going.

Help us spread the word about March 29.

Tell your friends and family to join us as we enter the final stage of this struggle. Like the new Crime Shouldn't Pay Facebook page and spread the word about March 29, get the latest news on the settlement process, share your stories and opinions, and much more.

The Attorneys General need to pick a side – the millions of homeowners they’ve sworn to protect or the big banks that have bankrupted our communities and country. Let’s help them make the right decision.

Top Five Reasons To Call Your Attorney General Tomorrow

1. The 50 state AG’s are starting negotiations with the big banks to hammer out settlement details NOW.
2. A settlement decision could be made in the next few weeks!
3. The big banks are going to do everything they can to weaken any settlement that holds them accountable. (They are already crying foul against the first soft settlement proposed by the 50-state Attorneys General in early March.)
4. A strong settlement means that millions of homeowners who are the victims of fraudulent mortgages could stay in their homes, while millions more could receive restitution.
5. A weak settlement means that those responsible for perpetrating massive mortgage fraud would continue to get away with their crimes.
