ACORN protest preditory lenders in LA 2004

[curlybobz]

What does ACORN consider a preditory lender ? Any bank that expects to be paid back?

[jeffmagic32]

These people are thieves.

[maurice11]

not against banks:excellent realtionships with honest ones(many have failed due to subprime loans, bundling and other schemes others have been bailed out... more on the way l)" Civil disobedience is one of the many ways people have rebelled against unfair laws" .The City of Baltimore - our elected officials are suing Wells Fargo. . Your choice of concacted as a description is misguided and not based on fact. The Court has studied the statistics and a witness has stepped forward.

its time for people to start taking responsibility for their own mistakes. The sub prime mortgage crisis was a culmination of faulty, overlooked lending as well as policy holders extending beyond their limit and buying a house they cannot afford. It is not the corporations fault and it is certainly not the taxpayers obligation to save your house. All of these innocent people you see, parading around in their acorn shirts, have no clue that Obama cannot do much beyond talk about saving your house

[maurice11]

its much more complicated than that my friend. Acorn housing has a 99% retention rate because they understood the problems, demonstrating against Wells Fargo was an attempt to high light these issues.Baltimore City has a lawsuit against them as we speak,due to a report created by ACORN. Lets see how tht turns out.

The Bank regulators failed to do their job ... Country Wide is a good example

stay tuned ...

I am not saying that the crisis is all the homeowner's fault, but I highly doubt any of those acorn members step away from blaming the banks, and think if any of it was their fault. ACORN has gone from peaceful, yet ineffective, protests and is now practicing civil disobedience by breaking into foreclosed homes and staging sit ins. I dont understand what they could be suing wells fargo for, mainly because all allegations against them were concocted by ACORN to vilify corporations.

when u get a lifde ...now go away

[maurice11]

simple minded... does not merit a responce

[TheFreedomFan]

hey when are yall gonna change your name huh? lol

[HR1800]

It is sad to be USED by Obama. At present they do not realize it but will. Hindsight is better than foresight. If they understood, if you are poor in the new proposed system, it is to let them die. I'm a nurse X 30 yrs. It also will collapse the system of hospitals. It will be terrible to see...

[maurice11]

so what do you propose in exchange for a broken system that fails to care for its poor.

seems to me you have benefited from the status quo and dont want to see progress

[maurice11]

right on. its non ACORN members who come to us to save their houss, sometimes too late. We have an excellent retention record . Tell uyou what: if you het in trouble we will help you too

[maurice11]

apologies accepted. , This crisis is more about greed and deregulation of the banking industry and the new bankrupsy laws .Besides that, Acorn Housing has an excellent retention record because they do credit repair and have a working relation with the banks if one of their morgage holders get in trouble. People of all races come to ACORN only after they are in trouble,sometimes too late.Also there is a host of individuals who work behind the limelight, who ,my friend,are not fools.

[erato99]

"Predatory lending"??? HAHAHAAHA

No need for personal responsibility in this country: Just blame others for your problems. How about this novel idea: If you can't pay the mortgage rates, don't buy the house you fucking deadbeats. Typical lazy, stupid, uneducated dipshit, Obama supporters.

[maurice11]

if you want to comment on my page please be civil and educated.

the main purpose here is report what i see. i don't make the laws, flawed as they are , the goal here is simply expose them for others to see.. So why did you sensor my initial responce

[erato99]

Hard to be so civil when dealing with the likes of these idiots. I removed your response because I have an ego, and when I check my page in the morning I like to hear good things. Don't worry, I know what you said. I'm sorry, but if this type of ignorance (some of which, aided the economic crisis) doesn't upset you, you need to pay closer attention. America is becoming a haven for the lazy and irresponsible. We became a great country, because of our hardworking ethic, now we are regressing.

[HonestJohn30]

Just a bunch of communists that want something for nothing....Pay them no mind

[xxdonaldqxx]

Acorn is a group that helped get people loans they should not have been given.Then when these dopes can't pay back the loan and get behind in their mortgage the commie group calls it preditory lending.Who forced these morons to go to these banks.Stay away from loan sharks STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[maurice11]

get an education

[xxdonaldqxx]

The people going to the banks for loans need the education.They need to think before they sign on the dotted line.

[ciro9]

The newly elected President Barack Obama could enact(once he takes office)to federally mandate long term loan modification's (interest) on behalf of all Americans with ARM Negative (sub-prime/ deferred interest) mortgage loans (the main reason for foreclosures) at a low interest rate (fixed by the Federal Reserve Bank) for 40 & 50 year's, depending on income. Leaving it up to the bank's to do this is akin to putting the fox in the hen house to protect them.

[maurice11]

thank you so much for your thoughtful insight to this serious problem the greedy bankers have created. i followed the links to your site and am impressed, will check out fully, time permitting. in the meantime please check out some of my new work on the hoimeless and first amendment battle in Maryland

[JawsJaws]

Quit your fucking bitching and pay your fucking bills. It doesn't surprise me the FBI is investigaing Acorn. Where's the missing computers from Boston? Probably destroyed by now.

[maurice11]

seems to me you are doing more complaining than the anyone else. The investigations are a result of a misguided republican attempt to bail a sinking ship.. what a bout joe the plumbet getting bood out of Philly last week
