We need help pressuring Bank of America on unemployment benefits
Yesterday's news reports indicate that there is no extension of unemployment benefits in sight for the long-term jobless. The Senate is filibustering. It's a dire situation.
We need your help to pressure Brian Moynihan, CEO of Bank of America, to pressure Senator John McCain to break the filibuster:
Brian Moynihan, what are you doing about unemployment benefits?!
It sounds like a strange demand--why not ask Senator McCain himself? We believe in going to the people behind the power because we know they have the real power. We all know that BofA has incredible power in Washington, and Senator McCain has ignored pleas from activists.
Here's the idea: If Bank of America came out with an urgent demand for unemployment extensions, Senator McCain and others in the Senate would act -- they've given him enough money, after all. (Along with Goldman and Citi, over a million.)
Tell Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan that he needs to make a statement and proactively lobby for emergency unemployment benefits:
Brian Moynihan, what are you doing about unemployment benefits?!
The big banks need to help fix the disastrous unemployment they've caused, just like BP needs to pay for the oil spill. Join Prosperity Agenda and A New Way Forward in making this demand.
Bank of America is heartless not to fight for unemployment benefits extensions. They have so much power in government. We cannot let them off the hook.
Pass it on.
Break up the banks!
