BEND, Ore. -- Bend resident Tim Collette is losing the home he's shared with his son to foreclosure. Aaron, who is fighting in Iraq, comes home on leave August 19th, only 10 days after his father will lose his home. And now Aaron's father is asking his bank to delay the move -- with many on his side.
The story continues to get coverage all across the country. Now, over 100,000 people have signed an online petition asking the bank to stop the scheduled foreclosure.

Enough already!
A new organization has emerged as a beacon of home for citizens with foreclosure problems.

GOP to Block Obama Pick Cordray, Leaving Consumer Watchdog CFPB Toothless
Fight over financial safeguards is another front in the partisan warfare (click here)
While the nomination of Richard Cordray as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau came with little fanfare, the process of actually installing President Obama's pick will indubitably be loud and contentious. At the heart of the CFPB strife is the most basic of partisan fights, a debate over which is less trustworthy: big government or big business. Even in an election cycle dominated by unemployment and the debt ceiling, the bureau may become yet one more way for Republican candidates to prove their conservative credentials....
