The U.S. Conference of Mayors, and the Washington-based nonprofit Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) were the key sponsors for a discussion on foreclosures across the country. Mayor Michael Nutter’s Philadelphia Foreclosure Model won praise from mayors that included Manny Diaz of Miami and Antonio Villaraigosa of Los Angeles .

There were several other prominent people involved in the conference call, including Bertha Lewis, CEO and Chief Organizer for ACORN, Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City, Dan Lindheim, Oakland Finance and Management Agency (spokesman for Mayor Ron V. Dellums of Oakland) California, Mayor Francis Slay of St. Louis, and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa of Los Angeles .

Ms. Lewis spoke about the foreclosure problem across the country, including red lining communities, sub-prime loans and predatory loans. She thanked the mayors for their help with work to stop the predatory loans and sub-loans. She blamed federal regulators for the housing crisis without taking responsibility for their (ACORN?) part in the crisis. She chastised the Senate for not passing the bankruptcy bill which would make it easier to modify mortgage loans. Quoting Credit Suisse, she said there would be an additional 9 million foreclosures over the next four years.

I told her that I needed to forestall a foreclosure. She informed me there were documents that I need to provide to the ACORN office to go “through the foreclosure counseling process.”

Here is a list of those items I needed to provide at “my appointment”:

The ACORN-8 want answers to thirty-one questions.

Marcel Reid, president of the ACORN 8 asked these questions at an ACORN-CCI national board meeting in July 2008 but didn’t get answers. CCI is Citizens Consulting Inc., the “accounting” arm of ACORN web of corruption. Millions of dollars run through CCI annually.

Reid and I spoke recently. She said if these questions had been answered then ACORN ’s financial and internal problems could be fixed. Instead ACORN is on the run and under increased scrutiny by MSM, Capital Research Center, and bloggers.

Marcel Reid and the ACORN-8 are asking bloggers to assist with research, accessing various records and databases, and following leads to fill in missing information.
