According to a recent report published by the Joint Economic Committee (JEC), the number of subprime foreclosures in Arizona will total 52,400 between third quarter 2007 and the end of 2009.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;We must do all we can to protect and expand the American dream of home ownership.

We&amp;nbsp;were&amp;nbsp;headed to the Saguaro National Forest to take photographs to illustrate TucsonTown.com when we spotted the&amp;nbsp;little confab. We&amp;nbsp;chatted with&amp;nbsp;several of her constituent representatives, and had a lunch outdoors&amp;nbsp;to benefit the local Easter Seals Society. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Congresswoman Giffords invites homeowners at risk of losing their homes to call her offices: Tucson, 520-881-3588, and Cochise County, 520-459-3115.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://francesflynnthorsen.point2agent.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=282183" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://francesflynnthorsen.point2agent.com/blogs/foreclosure/archive/tags/tucson/default.aspx">tucson</category><category domain="http://francesflynnthorsen.point2agent.com/blogs/foreclosure/archive/tags/foreclosure/default.aspx">foreclosure</category><category domain="http://francesflynnthorsen.point2agent.com/blogs/foreclosure/archive/tags/congresswoman/default.aspx">congresswoman</category><category domain="http://francesflynnthorsen.point2agent.com/blogs/foreclosure/archive/tags/gabrielle+giffords/default.aspx">gabrielle giffords</category><category domain="http://francesflynnthorsen.point2agent.com/blogs/foreclosure/archive/tags/thor+thorsen/default.aspx">thor thorsen</category><category domain="http://francesflynnthorsen.point2agent.com/blogs/foreclosure/archive/tags/housing/default.aspx">housing</category></item><item><title>Helping Americans KEEP Their Homes</title><link>http://francesflynnthorsen.point2agent.com/blogs/foreclosure/archive/2008/04/04/helping-americans-keep-their-homes.aspx</link><pubDate>Sat, 05 Apr 2008 04:35:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8691d508-96bb-42ed-95c2-d3589aae6ab6:281678</guid><dc:creator>Frances Flynn Thorsen</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://francesflynnthorsen.point2agent.com/blogs/foreclosure/comments/281678.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://francesflynnthorsen.point2agent.com/blogs/foreclosure/commentrss.aspx?PostID=281678</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://francesflynnthorsen.point2agent.com/blogs/foreclosure/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=281678</wfw:comment><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img align="right" border="0" height="276" hspace="5" src="http://www.realtown.com/img/articles/_foreclosure_filings.JPG" style="width:250px;height:276px;" width="250" /&gt;This is a new blog dedicated to distressed homeowners who wish to KEEP their homes.
