Bank that funded Scott Walker, Now Closed -- Firefighters and others withdraw all deposits.

Did you know that the current bankruptcy law was written "WORD FOR WORD" by the president of Band of America? Credit unions work with their customers, most for profit banks only work to take money away from their customers. I had an account at a bank for years and when the financial crisis came, it was bought up by Chase. The first thing they did was stop giving me interest on my money. I took it all out and put in Navy Federal! Talk about interest....my money is making money for me, not somebody else!
CREDIT UNIONS ARE FOR THOSE THAT WORK FOR A LIVING!

Re: pyzo. I sure wish Current had an idiot badge.

Dose anyone know who Fox news uses for a bank?

Move your money from a bank to a local credit union. The banks have screwed you, now it's time to screw them back. We'll see just how big is too big to fail.

Go! All our small money adds up to a lot.
And the greedy parasites need us paying for services and their products.
Stop supporting those who are against us.

Or, The American Bank of Labor

Excellent tactics - hit'em where it hurts the most! Also, people should take advantage of the Supreme Court's ruling allowing corporations to give as much as they want to candidates. You can create a corporation of your own in Delaware for a fistful of dollars - then you can use it to donate as much as you wish to the candidate of your choice. Unions should also create corporations in Delaware and do the same.

Call the Bank: Bank Of American Labor

All labor workers need to have their own bank! Form Your Own Bank!

Get the word out...Move Your Money! I love it.

Great idea! I like it!

This is only the tip of the iceberg my fellow Current friends. The Republican party has major plans to pull the plug on the Democratic party and keep the Dems from having any voice from now on. Destroying unions is just the first step. Did you know that In thirty two states, where the legislature is majority Republican, legislation is being sponsored to destroy the voting rights of those likely to vote for the Democratic Party and its candidates in 2012??
College students have always had the right to vote where they attend college, but many states are now working to require residency of the student or their parents, or else no chance to vote in the college town.
New ID card requirements are being imposed, which African Americans, Latinos and Hispanics, and poor people in general, are less likely to possess, with their suspicion of government as great as it is already.
The move to end same day registration is another method being used to cut down the voting population.
Florida is now requiring a five year wait before former felons, who have met all requirements of their sentence, can even ask for the return of the right to vote.
The concept of the right to vote has been fought over the past two centuries, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was supposed to guarantee that no one would be denied that right, but conservatives are working very hard to fix the elections of the future by interfering with that basic human right!

It is not enough that corporations have no limit anymore on contributions to Republicans!

It is not enough that Republican Governors are destroying the rights of public workers by destroying collective bargaining!
It is not enough that Republicans are striking out against the interests of the poor, the sick, the elderly, the young, women, ethnic minorities, and on the issues of the environment, health care and education!
Nothing is enough, as the Republican Party works to make this nation a country dominated by the rich and the corporations FOR the rich and the corporations, and to hell with the interests of the rest of us

It's time we stand up with Wisconsin workers as well as for ourselves and our party. It's time the rethuglicans see the tide ( a TSUNAMI!) turn on them in such a way they will never attempt this total Fascist take over of America again!!!!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU CURRENT TV? WHAT????

Let me get this straight! Current TV DID NOT feel the NEED to cover these rallies!!! Just who are they trying to gain as viewers! Just who do they think are going to watch them? Why Current...why are you letting us down...at least me so early in the ratings game??

We all should be moving our money from the bankster run banks to Credit Unions. CUs generally have competitive rates and don't nickel and dime you to death. Further, their charter is to serve their members, not take advantage of them.

hope you guys are for the non learned

Always the best way to vote,until election day, of coarse.

Actions have consequences. Is there a list of Walker's donor's?

Awesome. This is really the ultra wealthy against the masses, not Republican against Democrat, not conservative against liberals.

Brilliant! A taste of their own medicine.

I am impressed beyond words. There really is power residing in the ( PEOPLE ).
This is how we do it people...fight back!

Classic!

Their only god is money. This is how we crush them. We deny them their blood flow. Stop buying from Corporations. Stop supporting right wing businesses.

Democracy in ACTION! I love it!!!!

APRIL FOOLS DAY.. FIRST DAY OF NATIONAL ACTION.. DON'T GO TO WORK ON FRIDAY APRIL 1ST... STAND WITH THE POWER MOVEMENT... ***POWER TO THE PEOPLE!**** "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? A SUPERSTAR? WELL RIGHT YOU ARE! "

first deadly sin is greed, oldest profession is whorin',putting these two together is NOT a miracle but a way of life for politicians: especially the ones who whore for the corporations!

This is indeed a great campaign 'MOVE YOUR MONEY" and I most likely will be supporting this in the future .Thank You Firefighters & others.

Don't bother to respond to the idiots that post in this comment section. Just ignore them. Show them your backside! I'm inspired to find out what companies put our govenor into power in Arizona and stop buying any of their goods, not do any business at banks that are part of TARP or funded in anyway, the fascists we now have in office.. Go Wisconsin.. Go!

I'm so proud of all of you in Wisconsin . You give the rest of our nation hope. Time to hit the mega corporations, banksters and politicians that are not representing the people, where it hurts ~ their pockets.. Yay from Phoenix Arizona!

Wonderful! This is how you mess up conservatives day. Act up America--before they lock your shackles!

I have always believed turnabout was fair play. Hit them where it hurts.

HEY ASSHOLES THE CAPITAL BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE OF WISCONSIN NOT THE UNIONS,, KEPT UP THE GREAT WORK, HAHA GOV WALKER PLEASE GO AFTER THE FIREFIGHTERS

That is very cool

I feel like Walker fucked up.

Bravo!

we need to move our money out of all the bailed out banks too. stop letting them fuck us, one anus clench at a time.

Well done !

Friggen brillant - put your money into an established neighborhood bank - the smaller ones who've been around for 20 yrs.

I certainly hope the "powers that wanna be" across our country are paying very close attention. We the people are fed up, and Wisconsin is only the beginning....and what an awesome beginning it is !!

I am so proud of Wisconsin for doing this. Hit them where it hurts and keep the ball rolling. I am so sick of Republicans destroying this country with lies.

Dear Board of Directors of M&I Bank,
We are now aware of the sins committed by your officers and directors in the last election resulting in the election of Koch-Walker. But we are a forgiving people and would like to offer you a chance for atonement. If those miscreants donate a comparable amount to the campaign to recall the eight union-busting Koch suckers, all will be forgiven right after they present themselves (get ready kennymotown) before the nearest fire station, bend over, and kiss their own asses.
Sincerely,
POC (Pissed off Citizens)

Delights me no end!!!

Great post!! something positive to think about today!

Special thanks to Almibry and TommyNY for posting concrete actions that I can take. I can now also spread this information near and far. I also invite all of you to remember that this is not merely a Wisconsin phenomenom! Good working citizens all over this country bore the cost of TARP bailouts for the "too big to fail" and now see what we have gotten in return! Everyone who has had enough of this, from coast to shining coast can move their monies into local banks, credit unions and into their mattresses if they want. Thom Hartmann noted that Bank of America profitted over $44 billion (with a B) last year and paid nothing in taxes! They do however have ~115 offshore acounts where they stash their loot! And why haven't we broken diplomatic relations with the countries that allow these companies to store this country's legitimate tax levies in secret accounts? Okay, I retract the question. We all know why. I just got a little carried away here!

sweet...

Run Firefighter Run...Awesome Union of one belief that really matters. Hurt them where it hurt$

This is great! Now all the rest of us need is the names of all the companies that support these bozos and then we can't shop with them! Just think what we can do with our dollars! WE CAN MAKE THEM COME TO THEIR KNEES! WHO HAS A LIST OF ALL THE CONTRIBUTORS & THE BUSINESSES THEY REPRESENT??? Post on fb and send it global! :p-

move your money where??? move it to another banking institution??..my GOD you guys are running around without any direction..

I read an article in the Wall Street Journal the other day and the subsequent paper that was the basis for the article. (I posted the story here, but it didn't go anywhere.)

The paper proceeded to argue that the banks, coupled with the government and the media, have consistently behaved in a manner that has their best interests at heart (read low risk loans, bankruptcies, and bail outs). Those same entities don't encourage us (the average citizens) to behave in like manner, rather, they actively cultivated an environment of fear and shame in order to induce individuals to act in ways that are against their own self-interest.

It goes on to relate how people can take at least a portion of their power back. This goes hand in hand with what's going on in Wisconsin because I'd bet...it's coming to a town near you shortly.

To hit them where it hurt them, is a very good idea...The people of Wisconsin are on top of their game..We the people, of the other states in America, are extremely proud of your courageous stand! We will support your cause..Very good post..
