@ all 'too big to fail' banks

We are hearing a lot about austerity everywhere nowadays, at every scale, county to international.  What we are not hearing: austerity for the Banks!, austerity for the big electricity utilities!, austerity for vampire multinational corporations! .. who have been making a killing this year while so many have lost their jobs, austerity for the rich! .. who may continue to not pay taxes (possibly enabled by Obama's spinelessness and our lack of accountability for him), austerity to the pentagon!  

Well, here is another attempt --an event-- to begin to change this ...

I would like to encourage all who still have their money with banks that are 'too big too fail,' banks that are 'too big to be subject to austerity' --designations not afforded to real people, who are the ones who end up picking up the tab for the banks and get fleeced in the process--, or with banks that finance criminal environmental practices such as tar sands oil extraction (RBC), to:

Please consider joining the international day of action on December 7th to withdraw your money and put it into a credit union or small independent locally owned bank instead.

Locally we now have, the Latino Credit Union and Harrington bank, and if you have a connection to someone who has an account with the State Employees Credit Union, this works too.

Happy Thanksgiving!
