YOUNGSTOWN OHIO is now OCCUPIED

A small Midwest "All-American City" - YOUNGSTOWN OHIO - is now OCCUPIED
Crowds gathered and peacefully protested with no interference from 6 area "Closed" Banks.
JP Morgan Chase was locked-up and closed. They have no need to conduct business on Saturday. J.P. Morgan Chase could care less about their "city" customers' or their weekend financial needs.... moreover they cannot file any FRAUDclosure actions against homeowners on Saturdays.... so why bother to open?  Photo below is courtesy of Business Journal Daily
                                           "Occupy Youngstown"          

Demonstrators cheered and waved signs as speakers denounced the surrounding banks & corporate business practices.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Young and old, black and white -- a diverse crowd -- many of them carrying hand-painted signs, gathered on Central Square at noon today for the Occupy Youngstown protest. ..... elected officials were there -- among them Youngstown Mayor Charles Sammarone, Municipal Clerk of Courts Sarah Brown-Clark and Councilman John Swierz.

U.S. STATE Rep. Robert Hagan, D-Youngstown, was the only elected official to speak:
"The people in these banks," Hagan thundered, gesturing toward the downtown office of First National Bank, "the people up there in the chamber of commerce," he continued, pointing to the 17th floor of the bank building, "they're the ones who started this [class] war. And guess who's going to finish it -- we are!"

As strong winds chilled the crowd....speakers stood on a temporary platform and, one by one, denounced the 1% who control 40% of the nation's wealth. The OHIO FRAUDclosure blogspot author, was a featured speaker. He gave a stirring and impassioned 15 minute speech to an engaged and chanting crowd, which included an introduction to Youngstown based attorney - Bruce Broyles. Attorney Broyles is the brave attorney who submitted a brief, on behalf of OHIO FRAUDclosure and Ohio homeowners, in the landmark Ohio Supreme Court Case US BANK v. Duvall.

....Chuck Kettering, a local actor and activist in Youngstown, Ohio, is part of another of these growing movements, know as Occupy Youngstown. With another few thousand supporters, this movement also plans to take to the streets on October 15th in downtown Youngstown, and will stay "until change happens!" This group, like all the others, is not fighting for a single purpose, but shares a sense that "...we are all fighting for the same things"

First Tunisia...Then Egypt...and then Syria and Libya.....
The lack of "free speech" with little or NO human rights..... was BIG NEWS
But OUR right to assemble in New York and be heard on Wall Street....was NOT?
Word soon spread....to Boston, then Chicago......and now...... YOUNGSTOWN OHIO
Will we bear witness to American Hypocrisy? or Show Up - Stand Up and.....
                                         OCCUPY YOUNGSTOWN                                               
                                            I AM NOT MOVING

American Homeowners: "We've Had Enough"

            OUTRAGE to ACTION - Homeowners say "Enough"

 More and More people take to the streets - tired of big banks "legal shakedown"
 Looting Main Street Rolling Stone & Victor Juhasz

Everyday OHIO FRAUDclosure blogspot receives emails ....from ordinary American Homeowners. The emails....surprisingly come.... from all 50 states and always contain a simple request - please help!

The story's are frightening, compelling and heartbreaking. Each morning, after reading through just a few of these emailed stories ...a feeling of sadness and heartfelt compassion (for homeowner) is followed up by an overwhelming feeling.... of outrage!

I know....through this blog...I can only do so much. We've had some successes - by matching up some really good foreclosure Attorneys ....with homeowners ....that have been criminally abused by the Banks, Mortgage Servicers and the Court System.

For OHIO Homeowners - we've made a major impact through our groundbreaking action....of being the only known social media source to have submitted an Amici Brief to a State's Highest Court. (HERE: in US Bank v Duvall). We helped draw, via the Internet and this blog, much needed attention and legal arguments to an otherwise unremarkable and unnoticed case. At the time of our first post (HERE) there was NO COVERAGE through existing mainstream media sources (Newspaper, Radio, or TV). We can only hope that we've helped shape future outcomes and case law, and level the legal landscape in a positive manner. We believe our efforts benefit ALL OHIO homeowners, which continue to suffer the indignity of FRAUDulent foreclosure and other criminal acts and behaviours perpetrated by "Wall Street"

Beginning today, choose to support ANY EFFORT that is willing to stand up against the Big Banks and their FRAUDclosure Machines. Regardless of your city or State...YOU MUST help!

I challenge anyone ...to watch the below videos ....and continue to do NOTHING.
Lets take back MAIN STREET......by taking down .......WALL STREET
