Really, I can't figure out if they need new machines or they're just getting too many short sale packages that the newer machines just can't handle.  Then there's the emailed information that seems to digitize itself right out of their systems.  Boy, I couldn't live like that.  Let's just tackle one problem at a time.  We know the banks are in deep trouble because if it wasn't for our helpful government they'd be out of existence right now.  They can't go back to Big Brother for more help so the next agenda is to pile on the fees and charges to become viable once again.  No more free steak knives, toasters & luggage for you, the faithful depositor.  I know that if all AR members contributed a measly $2 each we could solve this problem and get our economy back on track.  If we don't help fix the housing industry how are the banks going to help our buyer's get mortgages.  I'm urging you to lead the way and claw through the debacle of subprime lending and let your efforts ring true.  Sleep well fellow associates knowing that you've provided our fore lorn financial institutions the ability to send and receive the necessary contracts to get this country on it's feet once again.  No more resending the same files 6, 7 or 8 times.  Your donations can add a thousand Fax Machines to assist them.  Won't you please provide relief and help America survive.  Please make your check or money order payable to American Short Sales Helping Out Lenders Everywhere and mail it to: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW  Washington, DC 20500.
