For lots of us, the goal for 2010 is to make it as little like 2009 as possible.
And for millions of Americans, that means trying to get a fresh start on their mortgages after Wall Street ravaged the economy.
But the big banks are making it next to impossible for them - piling on fees, then hiking up interest rates to squeeze out every last drop of profit. And one bank, Bank of America, is sitting on more of those bad mortgages than anybody else.
Tomorrow, homeowners from the PICO National Network are holding a meeting with a team of Bank of America executives. I've been asked to gather your input to share at the meeting. Can you take a few minutes to submit your story? http://action.seiu.org/bofameeting
For years, we've been trying to get BofA to understand the devastating effects their greed has had on the economy. But, under the Ken Lewis regime, it's been a one-sided conversation.
This is a new year. Bank of America has a new CEO. And our movement to shake up Wall Street has more momentum than ever.
So, it's encouraging that top BofA officials have agreed to meet with us when thousands of taxpayers gather in Antioch, CA tomorrow. But we need to show them the damage their bank has done can't fit into one room. That's why I'm asking you to submit your story online; Let them know how Wall Street's greedy behavior has hurt you and your community: http://action.seiu.org/bofameeting
Help us show Bank of America how deep and wide this crisis goes by adding your voice to the meeting: http://action.seiu.org/bofameeting
Last year was the Year of the Banker - the year of bailouts and bonuses. Help make this the Year of the Taxpayer - when we finally come together to change business as usual on Wall Street and all across the country.
