1. It's we the people, not we the corporations

Oh, that's so last year.

2. People are waking up. They are getting informed about

how this little club we thought was representing us, actually works. And it doesn't work for them, they are not members.

That man's mortgage, he discovered, was sold about 15 times in 20 years. What is going on with that? We discovered the same thing when my friend's house was fore-closed on.

They buy and sell people's lives, their livlihoods, their homes and don't even ask for permission. What is WRONG with the people that they are willing to up with this?

Good to see these demonstrations but they are not enough. There needs to be accountability and return of the people's money.

Leslie Parks, left, is helping her mother, Tecora Parks, fight to keep her home out of foreclosure. A retired hospital worker, Tecora Parks refinanced her house in 2005 — at the height of the housing bubble— with an adjustable-rate mortgage that has put her deeper in debt.

Her story has inspired efforts by Klobuchar, Franken to shape financial overhaul.

Rosemary lost her house, but not without putting up a fight and inspiring others.

She now is traveling the world and the country talking about the foreclosure crisis.

* do a search and see if there are groups fighting in your area... and if not start your own group.
It is in solidarity that we can win these battles.

If nothing else,, don't make it easy on the banks.
