Dear Friend,Thank you
for reading this week's edition
of "The Fisher Rx." This week is
a resend of last week's "Fisher
Rx." Some recipients told us
that they did not receive last
week's edition. Please forgive
us if you received this Rx
twice. You'll receive a new Rx
with a new Prescription next
week.
Today, we're talking about Home
Ownership and Affordable
Housing. I look forward to
hearing from you on this issue
and others that are important to
you. Please take the opportunity
to forward this email to others
by clicking the "Forward Email"
link at the bottom of this
email. Doing so will help us
make the 12th District the best
place to live in America. I
welcome your vote, your
financial support, and your
comments.
Sincerely,
Dr. Ada M. Fisher

The American Dream
is described as a
home, car and 2.3
children in a
nuclear family of a
husband and wife.
The US Supreme
Court's Kelo
decision on Eminent
Domain raises a
question of one's
security in
ownership of land.
The dream of home
ownership and cost
of affordable
housing will be the
next frontier of
challenge for
American citizens.
Valued public
servants such as
teachers, firemen,
and policemen are
increasingly unable
to bear the cost of
homes in the
neighborholds where
they are assigned.
Gentrification often
forces the poor from
prime real estate in
their homeplaces as
historic properties
gain favor with the
young and newly
monied. Public
housing as presently
implemented forces
the economically
stymied into
ghetto-like
settlements with too
many people, on too
little land, in
poorly policed areas
where crime burgeons
and jobs have
disappeared.
Diversity in
populations is too
often missing in our
neighborhoods
allowing the
resegregation of
schools in these
areas, the lack of
prosperous adequate
role models for our
young, the poor
blending of the
elderly with the
young as they
shuffle off to
retirement
communities, and the
bundling of ethnic
groups who fail to
understand each
other though they
may benefit in
preserving their
cultural integrity.
I support an
ownership society
where each
individual can
fulfill his/her
vision of the
American Dream which
includes security in
the ownership of a
home of one's own.
We must appreciate
that homeownership
is a crucial
lynchpin to
financial stability
and economic
prosperity in
today's society.
