This Wednesday will be a protest day for many organizations around the country to let Congress know they need to do something about the ongoing thievery by the bailed out banks and AIG. If enough people take action, these bastards can realize that they have their jobs because of our collective, tax-paying good graces, and they should either split the country or stop raping it.
Go to Takebacktheeconomy.org to find out if their is a protest near you , or to sponsor one. If you're in Denver, it's a noon at 1700 Lincoln at the Wells Fargo Center.
From the website:
"On March 19, 2009 Americans in cities nationwide will hold demonstrations at the offices of major banks and other corporations to demand more responsible corporate behavior and call on Congress to enact the change that will make it happen: employee free choice and health care reform."
