Nov. 5th. And other days to look forward to.
I’m sure many of you already know about this, but I thought I’d post anyway.
November 5th is being called Bank Transfer Day, where folks all over the country are closing their bank accounts with large banks (Bank Of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo, Chase, etc) and opening accounts with small local banks and local credit unions.
It’s already started and we’re starting to see a direct effect on the big banks. If the government refuses to fix the “too big to fail” problem, the citizens will see to it.
OWS investing their money directly into main street America, letting the almighty free market do it’s magic. I can’t wait to see how the Republicans try to vilify this one. Lulz!
Anyway, I just wanted to pass along this guide to help folks avoid some problems if they go to switching over accounts and stuff.
In related news, OccupyOakland is calling for a citywide general strike on November 2nd in protest of the brutality that was unleashed upon protesters. All Oakland residents are encouraged to skip work, school, and other daily duties in favor of protesting.
In related, related news, there are rumblings in the OWS community about a nationwide general strike on Black Friday (the Friday after Thanksgiving). I think a lot of that depends on how many more protesters get shot in the face with rubber bullets.
And now for some gratuitous propaganda!
This is great.
Inspiring.

Love your blog, Honey!
I love the three homeless, Boehner, & G.O.P. bills images – awesomeness!
I am quite sceptical of the left in this country, and much more so of the G.O.P. But as a professional misanthrope, I am mostly sceptical of human nature.
While I know as have the right to carry firearms in The U.S.A., I do not know if the peeps in your above pic were in violation of some code or statute in the manner they did so.
I have seen many protests, including in nearby Seattle, where youthful protesters are much more likely than more mature protesters to violate public and private property rights, including physical destruction, and taunt or menace police performing their duties. While I haven’t seen any property destruction in any of the OWS, I have seen trespassing & menacing police in at least some of them.
The OWS protests beg the question, “Should we waive public trespassing rules as an expense of freedom of expression?” Maybe so.
Thanks for then info……defiantly changing banks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😈
THIS BLOG ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!
BTW…did you hear Obama had to go around congress again..“He’s not waiting for Congress to act.” He’s going to forgiving or “restructuring” student loans… YESSSSSSSS…right now there is no congress……there is only a bunch of Republican/Bagger obstructionist who have been charges to hold their rag tag coalition together with Grover Norquest tape hoping against hope that the economy stays in the gutter and the public will solely blame Obama for its stagnation. I’m just glad Obama has realized that they never had any intentions of working with him on anything from the beginning. It was a steep learning curve but I think he and the American people finally sees the truth of this reality.

Economic War is the only thing that will be successful.
I currently bank local.
I currently don’t buy anything from a Koch brothers company.
I don’t watch Fox.
We need more days to cause economic pressure.
No one under 30 should bank at a ‘National Corporate’ Bank.
We need to put GodFather’s Pizza out of business.
The big banks, including BoA, have backed down on new charges. People power works.
