We're Going To Destroy A Bank (UDPATED)

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/03/11/955214/-Were-Going-To-Destroy-A-Bank





..What these pictures show are six hundred ordinary citizens descending on the M&I branch near the Wisconsin Capitol after learning of their purchase of the gubernatorial election last November. Two firefighters with old school ideas about saving had over $600,000 between the two of them and they demanded cashier's checks on the spot.

According to this other rec list diary Bank that funded Walker, now closed, the specific branch near the Capitol is closed to avoid a run and the amount withdrawn by the firemen was only $192,000. I think that means random citizens pulled another $400,000 out on their own.

1. I wonder how much the bank charged them to close their account.
When I closed a savings account at BoA, they actually charged me. I think $10.

2. The first baby step to victory.
Aka "a shot across the bow."




Important note: This is the first step. Not the last.

4. What other business should be boycotted?
Has anyone put together a list of other Wisconsin businesses
that strongly supported the Governor with his election?
