I cried a lot after watching this video.It's very, very powerful stuff.
It represents everything wrong about the "American dream". It takes place in Hempstead, NY.
I'm sorry but the video speaks for itself.

In all, concluded Jocelyne Voltaire, a 54-year-old ACORN member of Queen’s Village, N.Y., who lost her home—and also her son in Iraq—average people want to know that they matter and, they want a fair chance to attain the American dream that has eluded their grasp. “My son died in Iraq not for his country but for oil…for the rich. And now they want to take my house away from me; the house I passed all of my life struggling with two jobs to afford,” Voltaire said. “All we want is some justice for poor people.”
I'll update as soon as I get more info
