The Homeowner Bill of Rights is a HUGE victory for progressives. This article explains why it will help lot of homeowners facing foreclosure. But, in a ridiculous example of “he said/she said” reporting, the reporter quotes an economist hired by the banking lobby to defeat the bill, but doesn’t explain that this victory was the result of an incredible two-year grassroots campaign led by the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE), which isn’t even mentioned in the article. The ACCE-led coalition beat the combined power of the banking, real estate, and business lobby, including the Chamber of Commerce.
