This week, when asked about why no Wall Street executives have gone to jail for crashing our economy, President Obama said Wall Street behavior "wasn’t necessarily illegal, it was just immoral."
Wasn't illegal?!
It's well established that Wall Street banks resorted to forgeries and phony paperwork to kick families out of their homes. And J.P. Morgan admitted to illegally foreclosing on active duty servicemembers. But federal prosecutors are dropping the ball.
It's time for the 99% of us to speak out loudly -- and tell our political leaders: Wall Street bankers who broke the law must occupy jail. Let's make this message go viral over the weekend.
Click here to sign a "Bankers who broke the law must occupy jail" statement -- and then pass it on (including on Facebook).
If it grows big enough, we will inform the media about the progress of this statement on Monday -- so the growing outrage at bank illegality gets widespread news coverage.
If our voices grow louder and louder, it will encourage state Attorney Generals to keep pushing forward their early investigations, and push the Obama Justice Department to finally take criminal investigations of Wall Street seriously.
Sign the "Bankers who broke the law must occupy jail" statement today -- then pass it on.
As the simmering rage against Wall Street comes to a full boil all across America, it's simply unacceptable for politicians to keep giving excuses.
It's not controversial to say "Wall Street bankers broke the law." It's a fact. And we need political leaders to finally say it.
Jailing bankers who broke the law is essential for moving forward as a country -- sign our statement here, and then pass it on.
Let's see how much momentum we can get over the weekend.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
