McCain's Michigan Headquarters Provided by Predatory Lender

This just came in from ProgressMichigan.org:

It might actually be funny if it wasn't so serious. Look at what we discovered: McCain's New "Great Lakes Regional Headquarters" is provided by a predatory firm that profits from throwing people out of their homes!

McCain's new "Great Lakes Regional Headquarters" in Farmington Hills is owned by Trott and Trott P.C., one of the nation's largest law firms that represents financial institutions and lenders against people facing foreclosures. David Trott, the firm's Managing Attorney is a major contributor to McCain.

Thanks to predatory lending practices, Michigan is facing one of the highest foreclosure rates in the nation - hurting not only the families involved but entire neighborhoods through depressed property values.

Today we are calling on McCain to do the right thing - move his massive regional headquarters and cut ties with predatory firms that profit from Michigan's housing crisis. Our public officials should be on our side, not those who profit from unfair lending practices.

Do you think McCain should move his Headquarters? Take the online poll at: http://progressmichigan.org/mccain
