In the third quarter of 2008, some 765,558 American properties received default notices or were in foreclosure. While Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac announced last month they would temporarily halt foreclosures and evictions from Thanksgiving to Jan. 9, the moratorium is likely to affect only a small percentage of homeowners. On a cold December morning, TWI reporter Mary Kane and ANP videographer of the American News Project Garland McLaurin were on the hand to bear witness to an increasingly common, but rarely documented, tragedy: someone being evicted from their home.

The class war pushes on but the working class forgets to fight back. Billions for bankers (economic royalists) and streets for my fellow workers. My newly homeless friend could use a bailout. Now that they have taken our homes, our 401K's and retirement money they are eying up one of the largest privatized union workforces(auto workers). The union won't get a bailout. The industrialist bosses will get bailouts, fat pensions and a fat bonus while the workers get lost jobs, reduced benefits and reduced wages. It looks like we are on our own. Time to start helping out each other.
