WHITE HOUSE PETITION FOR RELEASE, PLEASE SIGN!!!
Everyone please sign. We have waited far too long for just compensation, whether or not you just bought shares or went down with the ship in 2008, this is a matter of our government taking far too much power and stepping outside of their boundaries.
Is 100,000 signatures reasonable? I believe so if we get some publicity. At the very least we will see how much more support we have now compared to our last petition. Let's get to 150 and go from there. Once we get 150 we go public on the page and then from there, if we can get picked up in a few articles and best case, a major news station, we are golden and the signatures will come.

Last time we only had one mention in a small time website, we need this to get picked up by a blogger or in an article somewhere. That was last spring too, we have a lot more behind us now, more money paid to the treasury and more senators endorsing our cause
Signed.... Come on everyone, we get a couple hundred and we can get some attention and start getting this noticed by bloggers and hen hopefully some mention on a news outlet, every signature counts!
Oh, Bradford you wiley coyote you :) so observant and so resourceful!
if he wrote that on 12/12/2014 and has put on this show for the last year with Investor's Unite then I'll hand him my 10,000 shares right now. I'd commend him for such an effort... please elaborate on the significance on the time stamp if you are not insinuating that it is fake
you just requested facts, please honor your own request in your own posts
information that is verifiable? lol, read number three friend. this plan was written months ago, and number three just happened last week. Not a little exciting to you?
PLAN IS BEING EXECUTED BEFORE OUR EYES:
This was constructed months ago and is finally unfolding (from Tim Howard Blog)
strategy 1-
1) Identify all congressman and influential supporters that are willing to fight for the release of F and F. Identify journalists who have been sympathetic and supportive to Fannie and Freddies
plight they will be key in getting the message out.
2) Immediately begin by having congressman and influential supporters speak out and begin to change the false narrative that has dominated the news for the last six years. (Unified message)
3) Mel Watt announces that he is funding the National housing trust fund. This will allow Mel to flex his muscle and show that he not only has the authority to determine the fate of Fannie and Freddie, but he is willing to exercise it. This will also help win more broad support for the release of Fannie and Freddie within the democratic party.
4)Continue with the unified message. Applaud Watts move and begin the next phase in messaging.
5) Watt announces that he is ending the conservatorship of Fannie and Freddie, citing the key points in support of the release. We should be prepared to launch an all-out blitz in support of this. Every major financial news show should be covered. The 24 hours after this announcement will be critical. We must set the narrative. You must know what your opposition will come at you with and be prepared to defend Mels decision.

lol my bad you are right. anything under 5 is gold. but if this drops back down under two.... nnnnohhmygod you better refinance and add as much as you can, might liquidate a kidney idk i haven't decided yet
The good news continues on FNMA... big moves coming!!!!
Minnesota Wild with a big win last night, 4-3 SO win
likely tomorrow, no later than the end of this week or we get a shutdown again
That would be ideal and very good news for us shareholders!
"going against your morals to make money".... behind every great fortune there's a great lie and if you think a rich democrat is more morally guided than a rich republican you're seriously mistaken and naive. they're all master manipulators, anyone with money and/or power...
I know why this company exists and how it came to be and its purpose to our country and its importance to the world economy, however I also know that this has been a publicly traded company since 1968 and I, like thousands of other honest investors, had money in this when they were illegally taken back in 2008 and i know my rights as a shareholder and as a part owner of this company. To have my money taken and given to someone else, whether it be given to someone rich or someone poor, is absurd and illegal. And to expect someone to not get upset about that is insanity.
Thank you for your post and your opinions. Good Luck.
NATIONAL HOUSING TRUST FUND
Home is the foundation.
But for the 7.1 million American households for whom even a modest rental home is unaffordable and unavailable, life is a daily struggle for survival. Families in this situation find themselves making impossible choices between food and rent. When illness, job loss or other tragedy strikes, they often become homeless.
The National Housing Trust Fund was established as a provision of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, which was signed into law by President George W. Bush. The passage of National Housing Trust Fund legislation is a major victory for low income housing advocates and the lowest income people in our country with the most serious needs.
The NHTF will, once capitalized, provide communities with funds to build, preserve, and rehabilitate rental homes that are affordable for extremely and very low income households. The NHTF’s most important features are:
-It is a permanent program, and will have dedicated source of funding not subject to the annual appropriations process.
-Targeted toward rental housing, at least 90% of the funds must be used for the production, preservation, rehabilitation, or operation of rental housing. Up to 10% can be used for the following home ownership activities for first-time home buyers: production, preservation, and rehabilitation; down payment assistance, closing cost assistance, and assistance for interest rate buy-downs.
-Targeted toward extremely low income households, at least 75% of the funds for rental housing must benefit extremely low income households and all funds must benefit very low income households.

5th to come soon i believe. it HAS to, don't you think? if not, shareholders should be in an uproar that fannie and freddie are going to be funding low income housing before they are compensated. as a shareholder i'm already pissed, and if this private company continues to be exploited i'll be irate, as all shareholders should be

THE PLAN IS BEING EXECUTED, RELEASE SOON!!!
From Tim Howard Blog 11Dec2014
Honorable Maxine Waters,
I am honored to present my thoughts and ideas on the subject of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to you. This is an issue I care deeply about as I feel that America is at a critical crossroads, and the quality of life for millions of Americans lies in the balance.
The elimination of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will have disastrous consequences for the U.S. economy, and will wipe out decades of progress that has been made to ensure that the dream of home ownership is accessible to all Americans. The taxpayers rescued the banks and insurance companies, and they recovered and now are enjoying great prosperity. Millions of Americans have benefited greatly by the governments initiatives to keep interest rates low. One group has been left on the curb. In a cruel twist, this very same group that bore the brunt of the predatory practices that lead to the financial crisis have been effectively shut out of the housing market. This most vulnerable group of Americans have been betrayed by congresses inability to enact housing reform.
Minorities in particular have been hit especially hard since the crash of 08. The most recent report shows that minority home ownership has hit a 14-year low. This is a direct result of Fannie and Freddie having their hands effectively tied through conservatorship. Maxine I believe it is clear by now that I have access to a broad array of sources on all sides of this issue. If you could hear the conversations transpiring in right wing circles concerning their glee at the prospects of eliminating Fannie and Freddie, you would shutter. Don't think for a minute their motives are to "protect the taxpayer". Their motives are far darker than that. They have tried for decades to end the inclusiveness that Fannie and Freddie have promoted. Time is short, to let the clock run out on this critical issue and hand it off to a potential republican presidency 2016 would spell utter disaster for millions of low-moderate income Americans. Their reckless ideological goals of an all private home finance system would devastate Americas economy. Decades of progress in ensuring equal access to the dream of home ownership would be destroyed. Now that I have made clear some of my thoughts on why Fannie and Freddie should be released I now will propose a few strategies that I feel could be employed while bringing this about. The release of Fannie and Freddie will provide a huge financial windfall to the tax payers. They will make an over 200 billion dollar profit on an 189 billion dollar investment. It will also close out the last piece of unfinished business from the financial crisis and allow Obama and the Democrats to take a victory lap. With all of the strategies, it will be of paramount importance to have a unified message. We must focus on the key points that can be explained so simply that every American can understand. This is critical; the Democrats have millions of Americans that will help spread the message as long as it is simple, and they understand and believe it. We should closely coordinate the messaging this needs to be well choreographed. I have a great amount of resources available to assist in every step of this process.
strategy 1-
1) Identify all congressman and influential supporters that are willing to fight for the release of F and F. Identify journalists who have been sympathetic and supportive to Fannie and Freddies plight they will be key in getting the message out.
2) Immediately begin by having congressman and influential supporters speak out and begin to change the false narrative that has dominated the news for the last six years. (Unified message) 3) Mel Watt announces that he is funding the National housing trust fund. This will allow Mel to flex his muscle and show that he not only has the authority to determine the fate of Fannie and Freddie, but he is willing to exercise it. This will also help win more broad support for the release of Fannie and Freddie within the democratic party.
4)Continue with the unified message. Applaud Watts move and begin the next phase in messaging.
5) Watt announces that he is ending the conservatorship of Fannie and Freddie, citing the key points in support of the release. We should be prepared to launch an all-out blitz in support of this. Every major financial news show should be covered. The 24 hours after this announcement will be critical. We must set the narrative. You must know what your opposition will come at you with and be prepared to defend Mels decision.
Strategy 2-
1) Identify all congressman that are willing to fight for the release of F and F. Identify journalists who have been sympathetic and supportive to Fannie and Freddies plight. Identify influential
supporters.
2) In one bold and decisive move Mel Watt releases F and F from conservatorship. He also announces that he will be funding the National Housing Trust fund.
3)Immediately launch all-out blitz in support in support of Mels decision. In some ways, I feel this is the best strategy. Strategy 1 allows too much time for our opposition to prepare their attacks against this move. Remember the financial press in America is
dominated by conservative thought. The minute they realize that the release of F and F is being contemplated they will stage an unprecedented campaign to paint it as a horrible thing.
To release F and F without warning will enable us to get the jump off the ball. We will immediately launch a massive blitz in support of Mels decision.
Unified message ideas that support the release of Fannie and Freddie
1) Explain that in light of the massive bank settlements it is clear not that not only did Fannie and Freddie did not cause the housing crisis they also did not knowingly buy toxic MBS from
06-09 Private capital has a long history in U.S. housing markets. Pre-Fannie,S and L collapse and 08 housing crash. (Predatory lending)
2)Americas housing market has been held hostage for far too long by a congress that has been unable to act.
3) Once again the Republicans have chosen to put forth a plan that caters to the most extreme elements of their party. Their proposals would be catastrophic to the housing market. It is very clear that the divisions are far too deep to bridge at this time.
4) The financial institutions were bailed out and have been reaping enormous profits for years now. The richest of Americans have enjoyed great financial gains in the years since the
Financial collapse yet in a cruel twist of irony the very Americans that were subject to the
predatory lending practices that played such a big role in the financial collapse have been forced to pay the price for the actions of those responsible.
5) Fannie and Freddie already delivered billions in profit and release will bring another high windfall due to the tax payers ownership of 79%.6) Congress can still pass reforms. The release of F and F does not change that. If congress is
comfortable removing the government backing of Fannie and Freddie, they can do that. They can also create competition for F and F by issuing charters to private co.s.. They can still do anything they want in regards to housing finance reform, but we simply cannot wait any longer for them to act.
7) Further inaction is no longer an option. The continued sweep of all of Fannie and Freddie's profits to treasury places the taxpayers at extraordinary risk.
8)This will wrap up the final outstanding business from the financial collapse and will allow Obama and the democrats to take a victory lap and proclaim all of their achievements.
9) Steps have been taken to reform Fannie greatly to lessen the risk of the taxpayers. (Shared risk MBS, increased capital requirements on PMI companies etc.)

Sweet mother of little baby darwin.... this is unreal, the plan is being executed right before our eyes!!!!
No lie this could be. Reallocating these funds goes completely against the 3rd ammendment. I don't see how they can do this without stopping the sweep. This is great news today!
if it does go lower its just more opportunity to add. I've doubled down on these prices since we dropped and if we drop again i'll be adding more. just a matter of time
My main point is that they have one 4g phone
95% of their products are 3G, I didn't miss anything
3G dead, IFON product line lagging, READ

worst case ontario we have to wait till next year, but it's survival of the fitness and the basic claws of nature, ackman will win because what goes around is all around and government bum rumped us shareholders 6 years ago... basic supply and command of the economy says shares be scarce and price will rise soon
that a hefty donation there (sigh)
ATODASO FANNIE MAE GO LAUNCHIE!
atodaso no doubt $50
worst case ontario this thing sees 20 bucks, best case ontario we see 150+, make my words.... just like getting two birds stoned at once... i dont want to say atodaso (i told you so) but i will definitely say atodaso when this thing rockets.
i actually just applied to the U, i hope to be there next summer after I get out of the military... and although i dislike your choice of hockey team, I respect the blackhawks and you for actually following hockey and for owning fannie shares (unless of course you're a short selling minge, then that goes out the window).... truly though, the hawks? you should be ashamed...
FNMA, a lot of positive news coming out, keep an eye out
nice, i'm watching the intro to the wild game right now from Texas... where at in minny are you from?
GO FANNIE AND FREDDIE
likely parenthesis means negative, like a number in parenthesis on a spread sheet in accounting... or it may mean "vaginaboob" as in Family Guy, as in "i have no effin clue"..... sorry brotha
I agree, it's looking good... but until the verdict comes out i'm brainwashing myself into skepticism. why? because this damn stock has put my heart into my stomach on numerous occasions and it's taught me a lot about controlling speculation and expectations..... BUUUUT MAYBE.... WE RIDE
