This rally was supposed to be held a while ago but then Bill Clinton came to town on the same day and it was postponed. I wrote here about what one Cook County sheriff in Illinois decided to do. He said no more no way. Many people feel this should happen here too. Since they changed the date, I now have a conflict, and will be at the Annual Ward 20 Summit - I wish I had one more person in my family so one of us could go to the rally as well.
From Bill Callahan:
The Great Bank Bailout was first proposed by the Secretary of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve Chairman on September 18, less than 40 days ago. Just think of what’s happened since then. $700 billion in “capital infusions” approved for the financial industry. Wachovia acquired by Wells Fargo. WaMu acquired by JP Morgan Chase. National City acquired by PNC, using $5.5 billion in bailout funds. And talk — endless talk — about whether and how to bail out homeowners facing default and foreclosure.Now think about what hasn’t changed: Since that day in September, despite all the talk, 1,271 new foreclosure cases have been filed in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court. And 596 more foreclosed Cuyahoga County properties have been sold at Sheriff’s sale.
This must stop. Now. But it won’t, unless we make it stop.
That’s why you need to be at the Justice Center this Thursday at 4 pm to help the Foreclosure Action Coalition tell our elected county judges: Enough is enough. It’s time to Freeze The Foreclosures!

I feel so bad for all the folks that have to deal with forclosing their homes.

Hi Rapper, it’s a stressful time for them for sure. I read tonight the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers (who is also owner of Quicken Loans) has a plan for homeowners and I have to admit it made some sense to me. Here is a link to what he said, from the WKYC website: http://www.wkyc.com/news/local/news_article.aspx?storyid=99719&catid=45
