Taxpayers–you andme–are the single biggest shareholder in Bank of America

We’re writing because you recently signed a petition to fire Bank of
America’s CEO, Ken Lewis. Today we have a critical opportunity to turn up
the pressure.

Next week, Bank of America’s shareholders will meet in North Carolina to
decide whether to fire Lewis, whose failed leadership has lost the bank
billions of dollars.

But the most powerful shareholder won’t be represented. Taxpayers–you and
me–are the single biggest shareholder in Bank of America, thanks to the
massive bailouts of the bank.

Luckily, our friends at the Service Employees International Union are
going to make sure our voices can’t be ignored. They’re collecting
“taxpayer proxy cards” and will deliver them directly to Bank of America
next week.

Can you show your support for firing Lewis by filling out a proxy card
right now?

Under Ken Lewis’ leadership, Bank of America built a business model based
on taking advantage of customers, pushing dangerous financial products on
them, and burying them in more and more debt. And it’s us–the
taxpayers–who are paying the price.

Lewis needs to get the boot so new leadership can take Bank of America in
a new direction. That’s the only way we’ll recoup our investment and the
only way we’ll get our economy back on track.

Please fill out a taxpayer proxy card today so Bank of America’s
shareholders get the message loud and clear that Lewis needs to be fired.

Thanks for all you do,

–Daniel, Eli, Tanya, Ilyse and the rest of the team
