Yesterday I was honored to be on a call with America's leading mayors and the US Conference of Mayors to talk about a huge problem affecting cities from coast to coast: the foreclosure crisis.
I've been talking about how a family is losing their home every 13 seconds for awhile now and the recent failure by Congress to enact bankruptcy reform to protect homeowners because of industry pressure was a real blow to stopping that clock.
But the failure in Washington isn't going to stand in the way of ACORN's push to address the crisis at the heart of the economic meltdown and teaming up with some of the leading mayors in the United States is a major way we're moving forward to help families stay in their homes.
As I wrote yesterday, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter's office was flooded with angry calls from Obama supporters after he came out in support of Hillary. Some people doubted my statements but those that bothered to call Mayor Nutter's office confirmed everything that was written. But, as Hyper Educated Uppity Woman reports, his e-mail server was overwhelmed and had to be taken down.
I'll let her describe the well deserved contempt so many of us have.
As part of NoQuarter's encouragement campaign, many readers emailed Mayor Nutter in support of his courage under harrassment. His email was returned by Mailer Daemon. The poor guy had to shut down his email address, so you can just imagine how badly he was harrassed by these savages. My God, these people are fear mongers and race baiters. What's next? Coming to your home and beating the crap out of you? Lining us up and shooting us dead until there are no more Hillary voters left?
We all know how passionate those Obama cultists can be. And they have the Obamedia wrapped around their scrawny little fingers. So we cannot back down, however often they threaten us. We represent the heart and soul of the Democratic party. They represent the far left wing radical wing of the Democratic party. Yet they are so determined to take over the party that they aren't afraid to destroy the party if they can't.

As many of you know, Mayor Michael Nutter of Philadelphia took a bold and courageous stance when he came out in support of Hillary. And most recently he has been on ABC and Fox News giving interviews. As a result of his courage, his office has been bombarded by angry calls from Obama supporters.
Let's show Mayor Nutter that he has many friends that support his decision. Would you please call his office today and express that support? The number is: 215-686-1776.
Please do your part to stand up for this wonderful man who is standing up for Hillary. And for you.

Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter is someone you should get to know. He believes that we should judge people based upon the content of their character. He believes in the the importance of every voter in our democracy. He believes in taking stands that are right even when they aren't terribly popular or may be potentially damaging to one's political future. And Philadelphia Mayor Nutter believes that Barack Obama has made a huge mistake in not completely disassociating himself from his friend and spiritual mentor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
"Had the reverend not retired and had he not acknowledged that what he had said had deeply offended people and were inappropriate and mischaracterized what I think is the great character of this country - for all its flaws - then I wouldn't have felt comfortable staying there at the church"
Now is it me or did he just say that his pastor of 20 years had acknowledged that his horrid remarks were deeply offensive?
