Don’t hold your breath waiting for the media to cover this…
ACORN, which played a starring role in creating the subprime mortgage crisis, plans to add insult to injury by harassing lenders across the nation with protests tomorrow (Tuesday) in an effort to coerce them into supporting President Obama’s Making Home Affordable foreclosure-avoidance program.
Austin King, director of ACORN Financial Justice, sent out a press release today advising of the demonstrations that are planned as part of its “Homewrecker 4″ campaign. The four financial companies targeted are Goldman Sachs, HomEq Servicing, American Home Mortgage, and OneWest.
ACORN plans to hit Dallas, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, St. Louis, New York City, Wilmington (Del.), Columbus (Ohio), Houston, Little Rock, Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco, and Seattle.
This will give ACORN (or whatever they call themselves now) a little something to do until census time rolls around.

“Financial Justice”
Considering the source, right away we know that the term has nothing whatsoever to do with finance or justice.

Considering the current situation that ACORN helped to come about, I think that a good strong “piss off” is in order from the mortgage companies. That being said, I wouldn’t mind them at least being willing to work with you when things start squeezing a bit. But hey, I got into the agreement; I knew what the rules were ahead of time.
