Bank of America's Ken Lewis has to go -- and since we all partly own his bank now, help get him fired

We've been writing a lot about the disaster that is the Bank of America, led by Ken Lewis. With all that taxpayer money pumped into BofA. we're their biggest shareholders. So, they do work for us. And, we're not getting what we deserve. The Bank of America shareholders are meeting on April 29th, next Wednesday. SEIU is leading the charge to dump Ken Lewis before that meeting -- and to get real accountability from his bank, which, again, your tax dollars saved:

We are demanding these four things:

* Fire CEO Ken Lewis, who has helped destroy the bank and our overall economy

* Stop consumer abuses that hurt our communities, like skyrocketing fees and predatory lending

* Support bank workers' voice on the job to protect consumers and improve living conditions and wages by supporting the Employee Free Choice Act

* Provide affordable quality health care to employees so they do not have to rely on taxpayer-funded public health programs

Banks like Bank of America built a business model on screwing customers, pushing dangerous products, and burying customers in more and more debt. It would be bad enough if Ken Lewis' Bank of America just screwed its customers and taxpayers. But that's not all - the company also screws its workers.

Just days after receiving its first $25 billion bailout, Bank of America was caught hosting a conference call to defeat the Employee Free Choice Act - legislation that would help all working people, including Bank of America employees.

Enough. We need real reform, and it's clear Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis is part of the problem, not the solution. It's time for taxpayers to tell Ken Lewis to go.

Vote to fire Ken Lewis here. It's long past time for him to go.
