Iowans Play Prominent Role at Showdown in Chicago
Larry Ginter of Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement (ICCI.Org) was featured on Amy Goodman's Democracy Now! this morning, shown on video rallying the crowd of protesters at the American Bankers Association convention in Chicago. Watch the video on YouTube. Here are Larry's remarks to a packed room:
“If you've seen your pensions or retirement take a hit, stand up!
“If you are tired of sky high credit card rates, stand up!
“If you are tired of outrageous overdraft fees, stand up!
“If you are tired of more people being forced out of work, stand up!
“If you are tired of people losing their homes, stand up!
“If you are tired of pay day lenders exploiting people in tough situations, stand up!
“If you are from rural America and tired of bank greed, stand up!
“If you are from urban America and you're tired of bank greed, stand up!
“If you think it is time to put people first, stand up!
Thanks to Larry, ICCI, and every Iowan who made the pilgrimmage to Chicago to take a stand on behalf of the rest of us.
