VIDEO: Cleaning Up K Street

New York may be guilty of harboring the greedy bankers on Wall Street, but DC's to blame for aiding and abetting them.



I'm talking about K Street. If you're from DC, K Street may just be the place where you find the burrito guy for lunch. But, for the Wall Street banks, K Street is where their high priced lobbyists set up shop. And where they use their massive wealth to buy and sell politicians like commodities on the stock exchange.

Right now, it's their HQ in the battle to kill Wall Street reform and keep us under their thumb. But next Monday, the 17th, we're going to call them out and demand that they stop lobbying for the bank CEOs and against taxpayers. Join us? http://action.seiu.org/kstreet

Their bosses may all be up on Wall Street, but the rules they play by are straight out of Vegas: what happens on K Street stays on K Street. The banks have pumped over $600 million through their K Street lobbyists, and they work hard to make sure we don't know about a dime of it.

Let's shine a little light on the their operation. Will join thousands of taxpayers on K Street during your lunch hour next Monday? RSVP now: http://action.seiu.org/kstreet

To help you prepare for the event, we made a short safety video to watch. Take a look and share it with your friends when you invite them to come join us on K Street on the 17th: http://action.seiu.org/kstreet

Watch the safety video
 

The video's pretty funny. But the need to break Wall Street's stranglehold on our government couldn't be more serious. You're going to have fun when you join us on Monday. But you're also going to feel good about helping take our country back from the Wall Street CEOs and their army of lobbyists.

Spread the word
