An Early Look at the Redesigned GOP

With the admission it's been a few days since my last visit to GOP.com, the Republican National Committee has a new splash page up that applies a considerably more modern, polished, and frankly, hip look to the site. (Here's a peek at the old design.) The RNC, of course, has been eager to reboot its digital operations and close what is seen as a gap between its online activities and that of its Democratic counterparts. "What you see here is a placeholder between what was and what is to come," blogs new Internet director Todd Herman. There's not much to the redesign, yet. But if this temporary home page is any guide, the GOP plans to focus increased attention on state and local networks, as well as social tools like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. The site also includes a prominent call for software developers to "Get Involved."

In other Republican National Committee news, Michael Steele's shop has released a hard-hitting new web ad that uses LBJ's famous "Daisy" TV spot -- which depicted the supposed risks of entrusting our nuclear future to Barry Goldwater -- to highlight differing statements by Democrats over closing the prison facility at Guantanamo Bay.

Mortgage Foreclosure......

by JaydenJ on May 27, 2009 - 3:17am

President Barack Obama is all set to balance out the chaos happening in the US economy. In order to stop the rapid flow of foreclosures, bankruptcies and losses to the financial institutions the new Stimulus Package has been announced with a budget of $ 1 trillion. The Economic Stimulus Package 2009 shall give you help in the form of loans, tax credits and grants. It is based on the keywords like 'affordability' & 'loan modification. Foreclosure prevention has been a hot topic since the housing bubble burst. The rate of foreclosure has gone up drastically, and a lot of people are wondering just how they can avoid it if they fall on hard times. Well, those that qualify can apply for aid through the stimulus package, but you have to prove that you qualify. You have to provide proof of financial hardship, and also that the mortgage payments, unsecured personal loans, or otherwise, have unreasonable rates. If so, you may qualify for loan modification, which can lower the interest rates or extend the terms of the loan, which may keep qualified persons out of foreclosure.
