On Wednesday, the Maryland legislature is holding a hearing on moving the state's money out of the big Wall Street banks.
We've already been able to pass similar legislation at the city level, but Maryland could be the very first state to change its bad relationship with the big banks.
Already, the big banks and the Maryland Bankers Association are fighting this bill. They like things just the way they are.
Help pass this bill into law; tell the legislature about your experience with the big banks: http://action.seiu.org/mdmovesmoney
Across Maryland, families have already started moving their money out of the big firms that crashed our economy and into community banks. But, the state is still sending millions of our tax dollars to Wall Street through routine financial transactions. The bill that's being considered on Wednesday would help put a stop to that--injecting millions of dollars back into Maryland and creating hundreds of new Maryland jobs in the process.
We were able to pass a similar bill in Los Angeles, but only because thousands of people across the country made themselves a part of the process by demanding their tax dollars stop being used to make Wall Street rich. Now we have the change to do the same thing here in Maryland.
They're your tax dollars, demand that they stay in your state.
