"Freeze the Foreclosures" Rally in Cleveland 10/30

From 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!

Details after the break.
