I was really impressed with the whole idea and notion/thinking represented by an article I read this weekend...
The Nation points out that a wide variety of campaigns to take back power are being launched from diverse sources:
The Nation is right. There are numerous efforts to stand up to the giant banks.
Congresswoman Kaptur advises her constituents facing foreclosure to demand that the original mortgage papers be produced. She says that – if the bank can’t produce the mortgage papers – then the homeowner can stay in the house.
Debtors are revolting against exorbitant interest rates and fees and other aggressive tactics by the too big to fail banks. See this, this and this.
Keep in mind that today is Martin Luther King day as well as the fact that Dr. King encouraged progress through non-violent resistance to unjust laws and policies.I feel Dr. King would be proud of this movement by ordinary people to address the greed and corruption we see throughout our government and corporate America.
The article quoted here defines "sky high interest rates on credit cards and other lending as the ancient sin of usury.
I agree. I think Dr. King would agree also...
