Friends,

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi seems to think her first duty is to protect some of Gov. Scott’s biggest corporate pals – the banks – instead of hard working Floridians. Recently Bondi fired Florida’s two leading attorneys investigating the epidemic of foreclosure fraud ravaging our communities.

The attorneys investigating foreclosure fraud said they were forced out. Join me and sign this petition calling for an immediate investigation: http://www.progressflorida.org/bondi

June Clarkson and Theresa Edwards were tasked by then-Attorney General Bill McCollum last year to investigate allegations of widespread fraud taking place in foreclosures occurring around the state. They did their jobs well…perhaps too well for Pam Bondi.

The investigation by Clarkson and Edwards produced a blockbuster presentation entitled “Unfair, Deceptive and Unconscionable Acts in Foreclosure Cases. ” The presentation demonstrated numerous outrageous examples of blatant fraud and deception by banks and law firms initiating foreclosures known as “foreclosure mills.” Clarkson and Edward’s work was so effective it was used in other states in prosecuting foreclosure fraud . Then in May, despite a recent glowing performance evaluation, both attorneys were suddenly told by a supervisor to immediately step down or be fired.

Sign the petition calling for an investigation of Attorney General Bondi’s actions:

The Petition

Investigate Attorney General Bondi’s Firings

We, the undersigned Floridians, urge you to investigate Attorney General Pam Bondi’s firings of June Clarkson and Theresa Edwards.

Both Clarkson and Edwards were conducting crucial investigations of foreclosure fraud. They have received positive evaluations for their work.

The influence of banks and the financial sector on political decision-making is far too prevalent. We urge you as the Office of Inspector General to investigate Attorney General Bondi’s actions to ensure that no wrongdoing occurred in the seemingly politically motivated firings of June Clarkson and Theresa Edwards.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
