Rally to Protest Freddie Mac's outrageous bets against America Background from Foreclosed-on homeowner Arturo: "My name is Art de los Santos. I moved into our home in Riverside with my wife and four kids in 2003. It was our first home and represented the American dream we had worked our whole lives for. In 2009, my work slowed down and I applied for a loan modification with my bank. But after encouraging me to miss mortgage payments on purpose, JP Morgan Chase and investor Freddie Mac foreclosed -- even though I still had a stable income and likely qualified for a modification. Last year, my family and I were evicted from our home. My house then sat vacant for over six months. Over the holidays, we moved back in, enrolled our kids back at school and have asked the bank to accept our payments. This week we found out that Freddie Mac invested taxpayer money in securities that paid off when homeowners like me weren't able to lower our payments. We are one of the families that Freddie Mac has been betting against -- and profiting on. Now, instead of taking our payments, investor Freddie Mac is trying to evict us again. On Thursday, Freddie Mac's attorneys will be in court asking for permission to send Sheriff deputies to our house. Please join me at Freddie Mac's regional office as I ask them to reconsider."

democracynow.org - As homeowners across the nation struggle to keep up with mortgage payments — and in the worse cases face foreclosure — a new investigation reveals that taxpayer-owned mortgage giant, Freddie Mac, made multi-billion-dollar investments that profited if borrowers stayed stuck in high-interest mortgages. Freddie Mac began increasing these investments dramatically in late 2010, at the same time it was making it harder for homeowners to get out of such mortgages. Several US lawmakers and prominent economists are now calling for Congress and the White House to end this financial conflict of interest. This comes just one week after President Obama promised "no more red tape" for homeowners looking to refinance. We speak with Jesse Eisinger, a Pulitzer Prize-winning senior reporter at ProPublica, who co-authored the investigative report with NPR news.

democracynow.org - As Freddie Mac comes under scrutiny for betting billions on investments that profit if homeowners they issued loans to are locked into high interest mortgages, we speak with Arturo de los Santos, a US Marine veteran who was evicted last year in Riverside, California, after Freddie Mac and JP Morgan Chase foreclosed on his house last June. "We were trying to get the bank's attention to review our case again. We could not believe that after they had evicted us, they modified our loan," de los Santos says. "I called them and I told them, 'I thought we were doing the loan modification.' And they go, 'Well, we have a loan modification department and a foreclosure department, and the foreclosure department decided to sell the house.' So they sold the house." De los Santos and his family re-occupied their home in December with help from the Occupy movement, but face eviction again this week.
