The housing organization Neighborhood Assistance Corp. of America NACA – STOP THE TAXPAYER’S BAILOUT OF WALL STREET, JOIN THE CAMPAIGN FOR MAIN STREET

Linked with Bruce Marks – USA

The Main Goal: NACA is leading the fight against the bailout of lenders and investment bankers while advocating for real solutions for homeowners at risk of foreclosure. The focus is the outrageous $30 billion taxpayer bailout of JPMorgan/Chase’s takeover of Bear Stearns. On Wednesday March 26th, NACA organized more than 200 homeowners, many at risk of foreclosure, to storm the Bear Stearns corporate office in New York City. For over an hour we demonstrated inside their « home ». This is another non-violent « attack » as we bring the homeowner’s anger and frustration to the corporations and wealthy executives who created and profited from this mortgage crisis. A few press clippings are provided below: The campaign needs to continue. Please access the link to sign the petition to stop the bailout of these financial predators and to implement the Homeownership Stabilization Initiative for all owner-occupied non-investor homeowners:

1. Stop the resets
2. Reduce interest rates to the initial rate
3. Impose a moratorium on foreclosures
4. Require default mitigation including restructuring the mortgage to an affordable long-term mortgage payment. (NACA’S Mainpage).
