Homeowner advocates weighed in Tuesday on the Wall Street bailout bill, pressing Congress to include bankruptcy court relief for people unable to keep up with their mortgage payments. The Bush administration opposes it, citing the need for simplicity and speedy action on the legislation to avert further financial meltdown. The administration and industry lobbyists oppose the provision by congressional Democrats to allow judges to rewrite bankrupt homeowners' mortgages to ease the financial burden. Millions of homeowners face foreclosure while President Bush and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson "are demanding a clean bill, one that bails out Wall Street alone. There's nothing clean about that," said Nancy Zirkin, executive vice president of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights. "There is no way we can restore property values until people can maintain their mortgages," AARP lobbyist Dean Sagar told a conference call with reporters. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce said the bailout bill must not become a vehicle to advance "pet interests. ... All of those issues can, should and must be addressed - but not now." The homeowner advocates' argument for protection came as a group representing plaintiffs' attorneys called for investor protection. Carol Gilden, president of the National Association of Shareholder and Consumer Attorneys, said that in addition to the bailout bill, Congress should take action in the longer term because the S ...

Democratic and Republican Jewish Advocacy Groups are flooding Jewish newspapers around the country with dueling ads on Barack Obama 's support for Israel. The National Jewish Democratic Council began running a full-page ad [PDF] Friday that touts Obama’s support for the Iran Sanctions Enabling Act of 2007 and his co-sponsorship of the Palestinian Anti-Terror Act . The ad is mostly blue and white (the colors of the Israeli flag) and runs under the headline "A New Year, A New Direction" -- an allusion to Rosh Hashanah. The group released another print ad [PDF] today highlighting Obama's support for abortion rights. Both ads are running in Jewish newspapers "around the country," said Ira Forman , executive director of the Council, though he declined to say which ones. The Republican Jewish Coalition has also been pumping money into print advertising in recent weeks, unveiling five new ads in the last month. While its Democratic counterpart has primarily stuck to positive messages about Obama or contrasted the two presidential candidates, the Republican group is leading a full-fledged assault on the Illinois senator's Israel credentials. ...
