Members of faith-based community groups are targeting three of the country’s biggest banks this month for what they consider is the banks’ lack of response to homeowner requests to modify mortgage payment plans.

In particular, the groups — under the New Bottom Line campaign initiated by the PICO National Network — are planning to send representatives to shareholder meetings today at Wells Fargo Bank in San Francisco, May 11 at Bank of America in Charlotte, N.C., and May 17 at JPMorgan Chase in Columbus, Ohio.

Domingo Delgallado, a board member of Contra Costa Interfaith Supporting Community Organizing and a parishioner at Holy Rosary Church in Contra Costa, Calif., told Catholic News Service that the representatives plan to ask bank officials again about their foreclosure policies and urge them to move more quickly to help troubled homeowners.

The groups also want banks to pay their fair share of taxes, especially by paying back taxes, and to stop sending jobs overseas.

The first time I met Martin Sheen was in the summer of 1999, a couple of months before “The West Wing” premiered. NBC was hosting a garden party for TV writers with much of its on- and off-screen talent present. I had worked arduously with an NBC publicist to get some interview time with Sheen during the party. And just as I was getting started, actor Robert Davi (he was on the drama “Profiler” at the time) interrupted, as he just had to confer with Sheen about some miraculous occurrence in Davi’s life.

By the time I got to my “exclusive” interview with Sheen, it became far less exclusive. Other writers started hovering around us, eventually planting their cassette recorders on the table in front of Sheen. (By comparison, nobody but me seemed interested in actor Mike O’Malley.) By and large, the other writers weren’t even asking questions. They just wanted to hear Sheen rhapsodize about what was on his mind.
