ACORN presses Goldman Sachs, Barclays, American Home for mortgage modifications

ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, launched a campaign Monday criticizing the four lenders for not doing more to help with refinancing and modification of distressed mortgages.

The Phoenix housing market has been one of the hardest hit by the real estate slide and has one of the highest foreclosure rates in the U.S.

ACORN will hold rallies in Tuesday in cities including Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Seattle. None have been set yet for Phoenix.

ACORN is one of the nonprofit agencies approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to help homeowners refinance and modify troubled mortgages. The group has stirred controversy with its voter registration drives, political advocacy and links to President Barack Obama.

ACORN is the reincarnation of Hitler’s “Brownshirts’ in the 21st Century.

Earth to Krugman--promoters of radical global warming and radical laws like cap and trade are traitors to the USA.

This is what caused the housing crisis in the first place. Giving loans to people who had no business getting loans. Now they want us to rescue their loans that they shouldn’t have had to begin with. One you realize you are in over your head, you need to be smart enough to stop digging.

It won’t be long till Zero steps in and gives us something else to pay for.
