Bill Nelson is asking President Barack Obama to streamline federal assistance for consumers who are stuck with tainted drywall from China.
In a letter to Obama, Nelson writes that consumers need "White House mobilization and coordination of all federal resources that could help homeowners" and a "one-stop federal Drywall Assistance Center.”
He's also asking the Small Business Administration to find available financial assistance for homeowners and businesses who have tainted drywall and for Treasury and HUD to provide mortgage relief and other assistance for homeowners who may be facing foreclosure because they've been forced out of their homes by defective drywall and are paying for two residences.
Good God.

Thank you Senator Nelson! We desperately need the help right now. I'm on the verge of losing the house because I had to move out for health reasons. Insurance and warranty have denied my claims and my publicly-traded builder, Standard Pacific, has done nothing for us! We need help before it completely ruins us.
