Occupy is not ending - it is just beginning

They're closing the LA camp tonight - but many many of us across America will still be completely supporting the cause because we know Washington is broken and refuses to fix itself!

My personal homage to change, evolution, revolution!

come stream my new song...

Have a great weekend and crank it up....Quiet Revolution

Open Letter to Bank of America from one of the 99%

Dear Bank of America:

Today I am closing my account with you. But before I head out the door, I just want to write a little love note so I don't leave you wondering about our break-up. BTW, my husband already closed his account and our roommate will soon be joining in as well - yep, we are prime examples of the mass exodus from your bank.

Truly, even before the Occupy Movement started, we regularly talked about your horrible business practices and how we wanted to quit your bank.  It was so many things - like the upping of interest rates on credit cards with perfect payment histories etc etc. At any rate, the whole Occupy Movement just makes it a lot more pleasurable to do so.

So this is my thought today: many people question why the banks are being targeted....and there are a number of reasons (and I'm sure you feel oh so confused). So let me spell it out for you and you'll see it  makes perfect sense: I know Washington has forgotten who they're supposed to work for and they only listen to you and big money - - so, why not have you and all the other big money controlling Washington do our bidding for us? It's just that simple - we need you to carry the message to those big guys in Washington that you have so much pull with.  You are now going to be most useful to the American public acting as a go between.  So, when you have a minute could you do me and the 99% a little favor?

Get Washington to pass the jobs bill or the mass exodus of customers will continue - use your leverage for something good for a change.

If we can't get Washington to listen to the masses or notice the demonstrations.....I bet we can get your shareholders to notice that their stock values are plummeting.

That's right....Washington works for you now and not us - so we have to go through you to get to them and the best way to do it is to take our money away from you.  Yep it's true, Washington and your decision makers have put your shareholders in a very, very, very bad position with the American public.

So, you better get busy lobbying for that jobs bill (and reinstatement of Glass Steagall etc etc) and things that are in the interest of the 99% and the country - - not just corporate America.  If you don't turn this around - your corporation's value is going down the sh*tter.

- One of the 99% who is sick of your sh*t

P.S. Oh, and if this seems unfair to you....well, as we all know - - karma's a bitch.  Perhaps you should take that up with Washington - they're the ones that have treated you like the favorite child while ignorning the rest of us.  As I said, you might want to use your money connections and lobbyists to gently remind them who they work for.  That we didn't "hire" them to obstruct everything the President tries to do - and that they should cooperate with him when it serves the 99%.  It would be in your own best interest to impress upon them that as long as they are serving only big money and corporate America - we are going to make you pay.  Yep, Washington's (and your own) behavior has brought the wrath of the majority down on your head and it ain't going away any time soon!  So I suggest you get busy straightening out this mess in Washington since you (and corporations like you) are the only ones with the influence and power to do it.
