home foreclosures

And they need that support, badly:

The protestors planned to deliver petitions for stronger legal oversight of the mortgage industry to Attorney General Roy Cooper. Instead, Cooper came to the rally to pick them up. "Your voices are being heard," Cooper told the three dozen or so people in the audience. "Financial fraud has been committed on our legal system, and it needs to be made right."

Yeah, it does. And the ones who are holding these families' futures in their hands don't appear to be concerned about doing the right thing. Or the smart thing. Or the expedient thing. As a matter of fact, I don't think they know what they're doing.

Roy Cooper, please tell the Obama administration you will not sign on to the mortgage whitewash.

Several major banks have announced they will delay home foreclosures on primary residences while the details of help for homeowners is ironed out. A few more details here.
