While most people in America today are making hard choices and sacrifices, big banks and corporate executives collect government bailouts and continue their lavish pay and lifestyles that drain families’ finances and sap our overall economy.
On March 19, 2009, thousands of Americans in cities nationwide will hold demonstrations at the offices of major banks to call on Congress to enact the real change that’s needed to end an era of corporate excess and rebuild an economy that works for everyone, including freedom for workers to form unions and health care for all.

Thursday March 19, 2009
12 NOON
Wells Fargo 420 Montgomery

This campaign to make the banks "responsible" takes the cake. Banks are about ripping people off and writing the laws to allow this. The SEIU and Andy Stern which is putting forward this campaign for the banks to do the right thing is a farce. The banks need to be nationalized under worker and community control and the bankers need to be put in jail along with the crooks in Congress Democrats and Republicans who allowed this looting.
By the way why is the SEIU still supporting Nancy Pelosi when she promised us "The Party's Over" and there would be no more stealing from the people. Obama and Pelosi who are both corporateers are shoveling more money to these crooks and telling the bankers to do the right thing is blowing in the wind.

Nancy Pelosi holds between $250,000 and $500,000 worth of AIG
stock; John Kerry and a federal legislator from North Carolina each
hold $11 million plus.
