Who is going to help Michigan?

I have talked before about Michigan helping Michigan....it is a point that I cannot stress enough, it seems.

We opened our doors two years ago in April, and have contacted literally thousands of Michigan companies. We asked for one or two orders per month from each of our new contacts....not too much to ask, is it? One or two orders per month from each of our new contacts would not put their current appraisal company out of business and would give us the boost in sales that we need as a relatively new startup. We received some response to our request, but not nearly enough!

I say again - "If Michigan won't help Michigan, who the h*ell will?"

Every business in Michigan has the responsibility to help each other, or none of us will survive! Send us work - we will not disappoint you! Get out of your comfort zone a couple times a month - it will do you good to talk to and to meet new people!

On the same note, Senator Clinton announced in January her plan to assist homeowners that are in jeopardy of losing their homes to foreclosures; the Mortgage Refinancing Initiative Act. Clinton says that those states with the highest foreclosure rates will receive the greatest assistance. (Michigan is number 1 - not something to be proud of in this case!)

Clinton's plan includes a 90 day moratorium on subprime foreclosures, a five-year freeze in rates on subprime adjustable rate mortgages, and $30 billion in assistance to states and communities to fight foreclosures and offset the costs associated with mounting home vacancies.

Clinton states that any plan to jumpstart the economy is useless without tackling the foreclosure crisis.

And, I state, Amen to that!

So, 'til next time, it's all good!
