"I'm sitting-in at Bank of America so that my neighbors, and me, can stay in our homes," said Presley Obasohan, who is fighting foreclosure by Bank of America. Obasohan is underwater on his loan for his Dorchester home, where building values have sunk to half or less of mortgage loan debt. "So many people have been thrown out of their homes or lost their jobs needlessly because of mistakes made by Wall Street Banks. Yet it's the banks who are now rewarded with billions in tax refunds."
