Take Action | Keep on eye on Marshall & Ilsley Bank

image

This website is getting a lot of attention up in Wisconsin.

Pending government approval, M&I Bank was purchased by Bank of Montreal in December 2010.  Bank of Montreal owns Harris Bank (Chicago) which purchased the bankrupt AMCORE Bank of Rockford in 2010.

The following is what this website requests:

Take Action
After working families gave Marshall and Ilsley Bank (M&I) a $1.7 billion bailout in 2008, their executives did an about face and funded Governor Scott Walker's attack on our right to collectively bargain. (visit www.followthemoney.org for more information)

In fact, their financial help combined was more than what the Koch Brothers contributed.

And while Governor Walker was demanding austerity from working people, M&I CEO Mark Furlong got an $18 million golden parachute.

Even after the bank was having diffulty paying back its TARP loan.

Is this the thanks we get for bailing out M&I Bank?

Tell M&I CEO Mark Furlong and his board to come clean and stop backing the politicians who took away our rights.

You can also call 414-765-7801 to tell them you have had enough.

Tell us what action you took and how M&I responded.

Although a personal choice many have asked us where to put their money. We recommend you deposit it in Amalgamated Bank as they're the only bank funding organizing workers. Also be sure to notify the local press and us that you've closed your account and for what amount.
