He said the group’s demand is that banks like U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo stop lobbying for the interests of the so-called “1 percent” and begin to act on behalf of the communities that they serve.
How about switching to a credit union you stupid hippies? I've had an account at one since I was a kid, they've never screwed me over and it's a voluntary choice. If no one banked with the big banks they'd go out of business or stop screwing people over to attract more customers. How's that for change you can believe in?
No, we give these big banks charter, special Fed rules and let them be quasi monopolies, and hire lobbyists to pay legislators and regulators so they can all follow the same basic pattern without competition. I think we should be free to publicly protest the situation.

This is the "In the news" forum... Linking a local news story including my take on the same story having observed the event in-person is pretty much as on-topic and forum appropriate as it gets.
How's the free Glade sample working out for you?
