SEIU leads new banking shakedown campaign

At the annual American Banking Association conference this weekend in Chicago, the SEIU army spearheaded an angry mob protest against major financial institutions who have taken federal bailout funds.
It was the usual left-wing Kabuki theater. If the protesters were sincerely mad about the government bailouts, they’d be yelling on Capitol Hill and in front of the White House. SEIU is simply taking over for its disgraced brethren at ACORN — with whom they have long collaborated on corporate shakedowns. Remember: SEIU and ACORN are flip sides of the same corrupted coin.
This isn’t about demanding an end to corporate welfare. It’s about getting a piece of the action through the “persuasion of power.”
Call it Muscle for Money 2.0. Here’s video:
From the SEIU’s “Big Banks” attack site, here’s a list of the shakedown collaborators:
* A New Way Forward
* Action Now
* AFL-CIO
* Albany Park Neighborhood Council
* Alliance to Develop Power (ADP)
* Americans for Fairness in Lending
* Americans for Financial Reform
* ARISE Chicago
* Brighton Park Neighborhood Council
* Central Illinois Organizing Project (CIOP)
* Center for Community Change (CCC)
* Change in Terms
* Change To Win
* Chicago Coalition of the Homeless
* Citizen Action
* Communities United for Action (CUFA)
* Community Voices Heard (CVH)
* Contra Costa Interfaith Supporting Community Organization (CCISCO)
* Gender Just Metanoia Centers, Inc.
* Grassroots Collaborative
* Green Party of Nevada
* Fuerza Laboral/Power of Workers
* Housing Action Illinois
* Illinois Alliance for Retired Americans
* Illinois Hunger Coalition
* Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement
* Jane Addams Senior Caucus
* Jobs with Justice
* Michigan People’s Action (MPA)
* MoveOn
* Northside Action and Justice

* Northwest Bronx Community & Clergy Coalition

* South Austin Coalition Community Council (SACCC)
* Sunflower Community Action
* Syracuse United Neighbors (SUN)

Keep the list handy. With ACORN in hiding, these “social justice” groups will be the SEIU’s new human stage props for its racketeering command performances.
The SEIU Illinois organizers have more disruptive activities planned through Tuesday. HuffPo cheers.

Let me once again draw your attention to the useful chart from GOP congressmen Peter Roskam, Patrick McHenry, and Mark Kirk illustrating the SEIU-ACORN alliance:

Gotcha covered on the list. This is INCREDIBLE!
This list is sickening. Printing it off as I type…
With apologies to Monty Python and the “Spot the Loony” skit–
It’s now time to play “Spot the Lemmings”. How do you play? Just wait to hear which for profit organization(s)get named by the Prevaracator in Chief and his lieutenants and wait for the professional protesters paid for by union dues and taxpayer money show up and you can “Spot the Lemmings!”
In my opinion, the list of the shakedown collaborators is a list of Communist front organizations.
“Fairness” to us is equality of opportunity.
“Fairness” to them is equality of results.
(Although Socialist and Communist societies never actually produce equality of results… only the “useful idiots” fall for that lie…)
OK ACORN and the Purple Punks are shakedown artist-so are Jesse Jackson and Blood on the Diamonds Jews Al Sharpton-AKA The Justice Brothers. But WHO are the real criminal here? It is the corporate executives who pay the skim with their stockholders money, declare it a business expense and thus cheat the IRS (always a nobel idea
).
IF, big IF, these corporate executives would stop this crap the shakedowns would stop.
Brown Shirts of America, Unite. Their battle-cry, give us your money or we’ll break you legs.
What a bunch of thugs. Intimidation is the name of the game for this corrupt administration.
ITookTheRedPill – You are right! These are all communists/collectivists/totalitarianists. They all want something for nothing and have no qualms about taking it from those that actually produce.
AzN – You are right, too. The corporations should stop caving in to these shakedown communists.
Man! They sound like communist party members. It’s kind of funny how they just repeat what they’re told to say.
They probably don’t ever look anything up for themselves.
Everyone who has said the companies should stop giving in, you are so right.
It just keeps these bullies going and gives them the open to move on to the next group they want money from.
Nobody on that list produces anything that adds any value in the economy. Staggering.
Absolute foolishness to think for a nano-second that the election of this administration and congress would ever move our nation forward in a positive way.
Absolute foolishness on display. The unrest and massive contempt is the fallout from the scam being played out on America. 2010 will be ground zero in so many ways.
Yes. Financial rape of the taxpayer.
If this does not wake up voters in 2010, then nothing will.
My wife and I started playing a drinking game this weekend. What you do is everytime you see a pre-printed liberal protest time you take a drink….we had to stop as we feared alchol poisioning in the first hour.
Wouldn’t it be cool if the FBI had that same organization chart that they were analyzing just before they laid down a major sting smackdown. I hope for change.
Obama and Holder will never prosecute their own spawn.
Prosecution rests with the voters in 2010 and 2012.
I guess that doesn’t include my right not to have to pay for freeloaders and thugs and keep what I EARN???
From another of their partner websites just part of their ‘solution’.
http://www.showdowninchicago.org/oursolution.html
Modernizing the Community Reinvestment Act will increase transparency, accountability and stability in the financial system by ensuring banks and mortgage companies provide responsible, quality lending and financial services in American communities. Over 80% of the high-cost subprime loans made between 2004-2007 were made by institutions NOT regulated by CRA. Those loans that have performed the best were loans made by institutions regulated by CRA. We need to update the law to ensure all lenders are covered by the law in order to curb subprime predatory lending and prevent a future crises.
—————–
The CRA was the very thing that got this whole mess rolling years ago under the push from similar groups and the Dem party. Expansion instead of elimination is the wrong way to go.
The banks should call all their notes due…from everyone of these useful idiots.
You work…and the state decides what you keep. You get your head on right and the powers-that-be will allow you to collectively profit.
It’s the Demosocialcrat way.
I really am willing to consider if Obama is indeed the Manchurian Candidate, not the Siberian Candidate as I had been thinking.
The Political Manifesto of Barack H Obama.
Mao is cited in the bibliography, Stalin isn’t. Oh, Obama’s mentors have been hating Jews for 35 years.
“Comrade Red Square”, a survivor of the former USSR, recognizes the role of unions like the SEIU in the advancement of communism.
(Long read- worth it)
Including Rahm. Liberal Jews have no use for the orthodox, just like the GOP has no stomach for conservatives and the religious right. Both are an embarrassment.
Looks like those liberal critics are right about the deterioration of discourse in America. What a bunch of loud, rude people.
Just try doing somthing like this against the government takeover of health care and wind up on the front page called an angry mob manipulated by special interests.
I’ve got a bookend of “franks” that are responsible for the bank meltdown and ruining our economy:
Barney Frank ~ Franklin Raines
We can bet they’re behind this ridiculous display. The distraction won’t work.
And Obama says the Republicans do what they are told…. HA
Where are their purple shirts..

ACORN is already reforming into other tax-tapping organizations to help their recently interrupted federal cash flow. One such group will be named:
Community of Oppressed Non-workers Joining with Other Beggars
It should be instantly identifiable by it’s initiatives under the moniker…
CONJOB
If SEIU is so convinced that they know a lot about banking, why don’t they just start their own? Then they can show us with actions what works and doesn’t work.
Put all that dues money to good use.
Gold star of the day!
Communists hard at work with our tax money!
What the …?
Chicago? CHICAGO???
These bankers really are stupid. Or maybe they haven’t been following the news about the corrupt gangs of politicians and unions headquartered there.
Why not convene in a good ‘ol military-supporting town?
What these idiots don’t seem to realize is that the banks were forced to take the money.
Now Obummer wont let some of them pay it back – it’s all about control.
They don’t call it the “Windy City” for nothing. Businessmen must really enjoy all the hot air blown up their poop shoots! Or do they just go there for all the political
