Petition & Protest: Give it Back! (& Stick It To The Teabaggers At The Same Time)
Note: After you sign the petition notice there's a note about a protest Wednesday. http://www.ourfuture.org/|Campaign For America's Future> will be promoting the protest and Sam Seder, Cenk of TYT and others will be speaking there.

Sign The Petition: http://act.boldprogressives.org/act/goldmangiveitback/?source=gib-

Goldman Sachs took billions in taxpayer bailout money that it didn't need. We're calling on the Treasury Department to demand it back. We've busted through our goal of 3000 -- can you help us reach 4,000 before we deliver the petitions Wednesday? And if you take nothing else away from this it's a great time to ask any teabaggers you know

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/cenk-uygur/where-are-the-tea-party-p_b_549067.html|Where Are the Tea Party Protests About Wall Street?>

SIGN (And Share!) THE PETITION TO THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT:

"Goldman Sachs got an extra $13 billion in taxpayer bailout money thru a secret deal it cut with AIG. Now Goldman admits they don't need the money! The Treasury Department should demand our money back."


Then, if you're in DC, join the protest at the Treasury:

WHEN: 1:30-2:30PM Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

WHERE: Treasury Department (1500 Pennsylvania Avenue)

15. You and me both.
I was left behind along with Ana and Andrew. But I can't complain too much since I was in SF to meet with YouTube last month.

19. Done x2
FWIW my BF is pretty darned conservative. I texted him and told him about the petition because I have a fair idea where he stands on it and...

...he said I was free to use his name to sign the e-petition. I even told him its a progressive thing and he said he didn't care (actually he texted, "IDGAF").

21. That's great.
On paper true conservatives should want this money back just as much as progressives.
