In this day and age, it seems like this method is the only one that will make them pay attention. I've already moved my money from Chase and the other big banks to a local NON-PROFIT(!) credit union. How about you? Are you going to keep funding all those things that are not in alignment with permaculture principles? Hey, there's even a Permaculture Credit Union! http://www.pcuonline.org What are you waiting for?
Here's the gist of the action you can take on December 7 from the website http://stopbank.blogspot.com
Pass it on!Paul

Have you had it with the unchecked corruption, fraud, greed and seemingly-unlimited power of the major banks?
You are not alone! Citizens from across the globe are infuriated by the corrupt banking system.
On December 7, 2010 the PEOPLE take back their power!
Join the millions
of banking customers around the world who will be peacefully
withdrawing their money from major banks in a coordinated, global
effort.
If you do your banking
with BANK OF AMERICA, CHASE, WACHOVIA, WELLS FARGO, CITIBANK, US BANK,
SUNTRUST BANK, NATIONAL CITY BANK, MORGAN STANLEY, UNION BANK, UBS,
MORGAN STANLEY, GOLDMAN SACHS, BRANCH BANKING & TRUST, REGIONS
BANK, COMERICA, PNC BANKS or any of these other major banks -- pull your money out and put it with a local, regional bank or a community credit union instead.
The FACTS:
- It is the banks who own and corrupt the political process in America today.
- It is the banks who fund war and oppression across the Globe.
- It is the banks who launder the lions share of black-market drug trafficking money.
- It is the banks who encourage and fund companies to offshore our jobs.
- It is the banks who took taxpayer bailouts and still won't lend, protecting the wealth of their shareholders instead.
- It is the banks WHO CREATED THE MORTGAGE MESS AND DESTROYED THE GLOBAL ECONOMY.
Your home, your job, or your business is now probably gone or on the edge due to the inordinate power and control that the global banks have over all of us today.
NOW is the time for all sovereign people to strip the power from the BANKS.
There is no need to protest in the streets or take time off from work to make a difference. All
you need to do is go to your local bank branch on December 7 and
politely say to the teller: "I'd like to close my account today." That's
it! It's simple, painless, and powerful. In this way, the People
can send a very powerful yet peaceful message to the Elites that WE are
in charge.
Nonviolence is the rock on which the whole structure of noncooperation is built.
- Mahatma Gandhi
World-Famous soccer star
and actor Eric Cantona (Manchester United / 'Elizabeth') got it
absolutely right when he said the following:
What
does it mean to demonstrate in these days? Nothing. Demonstrations in
the streets are for the deluded. They lead to unnecessary violence, and
place energies out in universe that accomplish nothing except to
further the aims of the oppressors.
Humans need to remain centered in the Now -- as Humans -- and to take
effective action from a Human perspective. We engage and remove the
oppressive system not by trying to bludgeon it down, but by deflating
it.
Simple human actions can cripple collective systems easily.

On
December 7th, we are calling for a massive, non-violent public response
to the banking cabal that has collapsed our economies and thrown us out
of our homes and into the unemployment lines
Enough is enough!
Thoughtful, peaceful resistance is what our movement is all about.
