(62,325 posts)The fact is that not one person was helped by Congress to fight the corrupt and illegal foreclosures of their homes. OWS has saved many homes from foreclosure and shown how it's done, IF Congress had the will to do it.
I am very impressed with how many Americans have been able to remain in their homes thanks to the efforts of the growing Occupy Our Homes phase of the movement.
OWS has saved many homes from Foreclosure and while doing so have exposed Congreass' lack of interest in the people they claim to represent. But as this phase of the movement grows, as it is doing, I am almost certain that some members of Congress will feel compelled to start representing the people, rather than the Banks, or lose their jobs.
And now we have people from OWS running for office, who hopefully will challenge those who did not lift a finger to help average citizens who became victims of the Corrupt Mortgage Crisis.
This is my favorite new phase of the movement so far, and I am thrilled to see how it is growing.
