It's official. Political ad season has begun. It's only August and, already, every other commercial is another campaign ad full of attacks and short on facts.
But while candidates bicker over petty politics, our communities are still reeling from the economic crash caused by Wall Street's recklessness and greed. We need to demand straight answers on direct questions from all of the candidates running for office.
The fundamental question is this: will they take concrete steps to hold Wall Street's gigantic banks accountable? We don't want vague promises, we need commitments that we can hold them accountable to. Help us get answers: http://action.seiu.org/sevenquestions
Yesterday, thousands of Americans gathered at big banks in their town, delivering a bill for the billions of dollars banks are draining from their communities. These are people who see waves of foreclosures sweeping through their neighborhood. They see their hometown laying off police and firefighters so the city can make payments to the Wall Street banks.
For these Americans, getting back control of our economy from the big banks is priority one. And their next stop is every constituent office and campaign HQ in their area. They'll be asking seven simple questions to every candidate who wants their vote in November.
As we talk with the candidates, we'll show you how their answers match up with yours - and who took Wall Street's side, instead.
There's a lot of money to be made for a politician that does Wall Street's bidding. Going up against the banks takes courage. Will you help show every candidate who wants to stand up to Wall Street that there are thousands of voters standing with them?
