Handcuff cookies and Chicago foreclosure report greet national meeting of states’ Attorneys General

New Bottom Line members meet with lead AG’s investigating foreclosure fraud by big banks

Forty homeowners and clergy members traveled across the country on Tuesday to Chicago’s Drake Hotel to welcome and urge the nation’s states’ Attorneys General to stand firm for a strong settlement agreement with the big banks.

While the Attorneys General gathered for their NAAG summer meeting, members of the New Bottom Line brought along “welcome packets” that contained cookies with frosted handcuffs to symbolize that the big banks must be held accountable for their crimes, a tourist map of foreclosed homes in Chicago, and a flyer with homeowner’s demands.  In addition, they held a press conference to release “No End in Sight” a new report by New Bottom Line organizational member, National People’s Action detailing foreclosures in Cook County, IL.

New Bottom Line members also met with Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen, North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper and Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller, who has been spearheading the investigation into massive foreclosure fraud by the country’s leading banks including Bank of America, Wells Fargo and JP Morgan Chase.
