More than 1,000 taxpayers decided to take a walk down Wacker Drive to see how their money is being used by America's bailed out banks - and to ask for a few changes to prevent another financial meltdown.

Having tried to deliver our letter to the ABA last night and being kicked out, we went directly to the banks today - Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo. The demand, as always, is a simple one: stop using our tax dollars for toxic loans, big bonuses, and anti-consumer lobbying campaigns.

Both banks took our letter. We're two for two right now. With a streak like that, why not try our friends at the ABA one more time? The crowd is headed back to the ABA conference with the letter in hand. Will we go three for three today? Or will the big bank lobbyists give us another cold shoulder?


The rally outside of Goldman Sachs stretched more than a block long:
