MoveOn member,
<P style="MARGIN: 1em 0pt; FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><SPAN
style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal">After bailouts and free passes from the
government, </SPAN>big Wall Street banks are suddenly being held accountable
by the American people.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 1em 0pt">Tens of thousands of bank customers have pledged to
<SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">move their money</SPAN> out of the big banks
and into the small banks and credit unions that are actually investing in our
communities.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 1em 0pt">Now on <SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Saturday
November 5</SPAN>, it's time to take accountability straight to the Main
Street branches of these Wall Street institutions. At over 200 actions, we'll
shine a light on the damage the big banks are still doing to our economy, our
communities, and our neighbors from coast to coast, and encourage the big
banks' customers to move their money too.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 1em 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">This Saturday
in Houston</SPAN> we tell the big banks—and our government—no more free
passes for damaging our economy. <SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">On Saturday,
we Make Wall Street Pay.</SPAN></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 1em 0pt">The big banks may have massive marketing machines
and spend huge advertising dollars, but that can't compete with a group of
community members in front of their branches across the country, telling their
friends and neighbors that <SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">this bank can't be
trusted</SPAN>, because:</P>
<UL>
<LI>It's firing tens of thousands of people, even while it's making huge
profits and paying record bonuses to executives.<SUP>1</SUP>
<LI>It's foreclosing on our neighbors, even when it doesn't have a legal
right to.<SUP>2</SUP>
<LI>It's only making 18% of its commercial loans to small businesses in our
community, compared with 56% at the small bank down the
street.<SUP>3</SUP>
<LI>It helped crash our economy and got a bailout instead of a fine.
</LI></UL>
<P style="MARGIN: 1em 0pt">No marketing company can out-think that. No
advertising budget can out-spend that. No big bank can ignore it, and neither
can the federal government and attorneys general across the country who are
considering a deal that would <SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">let the banks
off the hook again</SPAN>—this time for their widespread abusive mortgage
practices.<SUP>4</SUP> </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 1em 0pt">With the government sitting on the sidelines, a big
national day of action from customers is the only way the big banks will
listen—it's the only way they'll change.<SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"> Can
you join the Make Wall Street Pay action near you in Houston?</SPAN></P>
