More than 5,000 taxpayers marched over the Chicago River and to the front door of the American Bankers Association this morning. Chanting "enough is enough," the crowd came to deliver an invoice to the big banks for the $17.8 trillion they took from us to pay themselves big bonuses and lobby against reform.
The rally featured stories from Americans across the country who have been impacted by Wall Street's harmful behavior. Here are some of the highlights:

I agree that the SEIU is really doing a vast job and effort here. Looking at more than 5,000 taxpayers marched over the Chicago River and to the front door of the American Bankers Association this morning. To gather and make them realize that its too much of this issues wherein the crowd came to deliver an invoice to the big banks for the $17.8 trillion they took from all of us to pay themselves big bonuses and lobby against reform. They are like the FDIC who are continuously prosper as many people suffer both economically and emotionally. Hope this will make government realize the grievances and weeping of their people.
