Union group protests outside McCain office

(08-20) 14:22 PDT , (AP) --

HENDERSON, Nev. — A labor coalition has staged a "foreclosure funeral" outside the Nevada headquarters of presidential candidate John McCain.

A group of union activists from the Change to Win coalition says the mock memorial was meant to draw attention to the Republican's inadequate proposals to solve the housing crisis.

Culinary Union member Judy Bagley told the crowd, some dressed as grim reapers, that McCain had lost touch with working people.

McCain spokesman Rick Gorka says McCain has a plan to address the housing crunch and charged that Democrat Barack Obama's tax plans would do harm to working-class people.

The Change to Win group is on a tour of battleground states. It planned to stop in Pahrump, Nev. on Thursday for a protest focused on McCain's support of the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository.

My local newpaper for a long time would have just one or two legal notices a day.  This past year, the number of notices has increased dramatically.  The legal notices now take up three to four pages.

The vast majority of notices are for foreclosures. 

I've read about loan practices during the past few years.  Why would anyone make it so easy to get a mortgage?   

Wasn't someone guarding the hen house?
