Bank of America: Help Your Workers or Give Back the Bailout!

Target: Bank of America Corporation
Sponsored by: SEIU
Taxpayers have given Bank of America $45 billion in bailout funds to help jumpstart our economy, but instead the bank has misspent on executive salaries and corporate jets.

Then Bank of America took even more money from cash-strapped states by not paying for workers' healthcare.

Bank of America should use the taxpayer-funded windfall it has already received to support a real economic recovery and provide healthcare for its workers or give the money back!
deadline: 1-16-2010
goal: 15,000

Dear Bank of America Corp.,

When taxpayers gave Bank of America Corporation a $25 billion bailout, your company was supposed to use the funds to help jumpstart the economy. To date, this has not been the case.

It's time for Bank of America to use its taxpayer-funded windfall to support a real economic recovery and provide healthcare for its 247,000 workers - or give the money back.

It is disturbing news such as this which has prompted me to take my personal banking out of Bank of America, and move to a credit union. **These funds are not yours to squander on luxury jets and other perks for CEOs.** Please do the ethical thing and reconsider your use of taxpayer-funded assistance.

Because the money was provided by OUR PRESEDENT, to help us taxpayers, it was not to help the banks get richer or build more banks that we do not need. The bailout money was to be used to help ALL workers, not just YOUR workers. (employees, executives, etc. etc.) Stop your greediness and do what is right!!

They don't have to listen to us because they are above the law. Because they are one of the most powerful controllers w/i the corrupt Federal reserve, along w/ JP Morgan Chase & Citi Bank.... Boycott them all!
