Bust the Bailout! Lunch Hour Protest at US Bank

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 11/25/2008 - 16:31

US Bank is receiving $6.6 billion of the massive $700 billion bailout passed by Congress, even though the bank was not having financial difficulties. Meanwhile, people are losing their homes all over the city.

Tell US Bank to use this windfall to help the community, not to enrich their shareholders or pay higher executive bonuses. Remember, this money is OUR tax money and we have evry tight to make demands about how it is used.
