Wall Street Bailout Largely Leaves Out Main Street Foreclosures

September 28, 2008

On Sunday, Sept. 28, ACORN National President Maude Hurd released the following statement after Congressional leaders announced a $700 bailout plan for Wall Street:

“Members of Congress worked tirelessly over the weekend to rid Wall Street of its toxic assets, which are responsible for the worst financial crisis since the 1930s. Unfortunately, families who fell victim to Wall's Street's toxic lending practices and now risk losing their homes were largely left out.

ACORN members are extremely disappointed that the bailout package does little to assist these homeowners, such as providing them relief through the bankruptcy courts. Although weak, there is language in the bailout package authorizing Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson to facilitate more loan modifications. ACORN members plan to hold Secretary Paulson accountable and ensure he uses this authority to make streamlined loan modifications a priority for struggling American families.”

lol! OM, this is a rather shocking display of desperation by ACORN.

Question: Can we hit ACORN again? pls?

The enemy has been ID’ed. Holding fire.

How about we hold ACORN accountable for forcing banks to give money to people with proven track records of not paying back their debts?

[Ann Archy]

Rioting is right around the corner from these “community organizers”!

[Lawgvr1955]

No wonder ACORN is bad with home loans. Their math sucks. In the first paragraph they understate the problem by a factor of one billion. Idiots.

Why are these ACORN member not in prison under the RICO and Civil Rights statutes? Is there a lawyer in the house?

If ACORN is mad at you, you must be doing something right.

If ACORN is disappointed I am delighted.

[LaineyDee]

I think that’s a superb idea!

Tough toenails, ACORN. Tell it to Barry.

[Anti-Bubba182]

I hope ACORN gets lots of publicity!

Translation: "It is OUR piggy bank! OURS OURS!"

And if you think a Dem Congress would not make SURE they get it, I have a bridge to sell you. Once the $700B is allocated, it WILL be spent to profit Dem constituencies.

ACORN shouldn’t worry, with this much money at stake they’re sure to end up with at least some of that money in their pocket one way or another.
