Americans are angry at Wall Street, and rightly so. First the financial industry plunged us into economic crisis, then it was bailed out at taxpayer expense. And now, with the economy still deeply depressed, the industry is paying itself gigantic bonuses.

The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is it's everywhere. The world's most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.

There's a lot of pressure right now to pass a new bill that would "help" the world's 1 billion hungry people by promoting chemical agriculture. We are devastating our own environment with these techniques, and doing so with little benefit to our farmers.

Federal law has long protected Social Security and veterans benefits from most creditors. But creditors have been seizing the payments anyway by getting court orders to freeze and garnish bank accounts that receive the benefits through direct deposit.

Urge your Senators to stand up for regular Americans, not greedy banks! Ask them to vote for S. 414, the Credit CARD Act, and protect us from unfair interest rate hikes, crazy fees, and other tricks designed to keep us on an everlasting debt treadmill.

We the people now own 80% of American International Group (AIG) thanks to our nearly $200 billion bailout "bonus." Everyone likes to make a clean start, so what better way to launch our new relationship with AIG than to give our purchase a new name?
