115th Congress
Dear Friends,
Becoming a homeowner can be one of the most memorable moments of our lives. In 2010, the Hardest Hit Fund (HomeSafe Georgia) was established by the federal government to provide foreclosure help to homeowners that were hit the hardest by the steep decline in home prices and rising unemployment rates. HomeSafe Georgia was established by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to administer the Hardest Hit Funds designated to Georgia.
Barrington Irving, the youngest person and the first African American pilot to circumnavigate the globe on his own, is collaborating with Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Georgia) for Irving's "Mitsubishi Dream & Soar Presented by Barrington Irving." The event will take place on October 17 in Johnson's home state of Georgia. The event, which is sponsored by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America (Booth: C1062), fits in with the congressman's Full STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) Ahead Initiative.
Georgia U.S. Rep Hank Johnson, a Democrat, separately said the server wipe "appears to be a willful and premeditated destruction of evidence" by election officials, adding, "Georgia voters should be as outraged as I am."
U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson said the "apparent deliberate destruction of evidence" raised questions about the validity of the results in the 6th Congressional District contest in April, a high-profile election for an open U.S. House seat that wound up being the costliest in the nation's history.

Representative Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) wrote the act and was the first member of Congress to introduce a bill on the issue.
"Contrary to popular belief," Johnson told Newsweek, "arbitration decisions are final, binding, non-appealable, and strongly in favor of corporations. The result is a secretive and rigged process that prevents citizens from holding corporate wrongdoers accountable."
"We need to make sure that we are adequately resourced to be able to respond to these events. I don't think the federal government is doing an adequate job of that," said U.S. Rep. Henry Johnson, Jr. (D-GA), who attended the session that was organized by Wilson.
Rep. Henry "Hank" Johnson Jr. said he traveled down from Georgia because the issues revealed at Hollywood Hills need to be addressed on a national level now that global warming has increased the likely and intensity of disasters. "We have reached the point in the annals of human history that this has become the new normal," he said.
