Dear A,
The economic crisis is
out of control, as Bank of America and the corrupt corporate elite continue to wage class warfare. It's time we hit back hard. It's time we fire CEO Ken Lewis.
Our good friends at SEIU have been courageously leading this fight. We need to follow their lead and encourage everyone to demand the resignation of Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis. After all, Lewis works for us now. Tens of billions of our taxpayer dollars went toward bailing out Bank of America, but what have we received in return? More predatory lending, billions wasted on exorbitant salaries and executive bonuses, and corporate lobbying against Employee Free Choice.
Watch the video narrated by former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, and see for yourself why we must fire Ken Lewis.
Send this video to your friends and family, spread the word and
Digg it. Tell them to
join us Tuesday, April 28, in demonstrations across the country to fire Ken Lewis. And when you protest, make sure to yell loud and clear. Otherwise, Bank of America and other Wall Street firms will continue their economic rampage, obliterating our country's working class.
As
blogger Marcy Wheeler suggests, we need to fire Ken Lewis for over $3 billion in bonuses Merrill Lynch execs received after Bank of America took them over. We need to fire him for Bank of America's continued predatory lending, soaring credit card fees, abhorrent mistreatment of workers, and for standing in the way of
Employee Free Choice. We need to fire him for being the poster boy of corporate greed.
Yours,
Robert Greenwald
