The homeowners are implicitly billing the banks already by foreclosing and walking away from their obligations. They took the risk by buying an overpriced property at the peak, and now, they get a free ride from the gov-t. It's the responsible savers who should be picketing outside the BOA headquarters and outside the FED building in Washington. They are the ones who have been getting the short end of the stick for the last 20 years.

Is that the smell of fresh cut grass in the spring... or astroturf?

The protestors want more free shit from taxpayers and are jealous of the bank bailouts.
End the looting!

Subject: Breaking: Hundreds of homeowners occupy Bank of America
Dear david,
Right now, more than 600 homeowners are inside the lobby of Bank of America, in Washington D.C. Chants are roaring throughout the building: “Bill the banks! Bill the banks!â€
Our purpose is clear: the big banks bankrupted America, took our money in bailouts and continue to foreclose on millions of Americans. And now, according to today’s new Big Bank Tax Drain report, it turns out they are shirking on their tax bills, too!
While NPA and ally organizations took action in downtown D.C., you can take action too – it’s time to bill the banks!
Please take a few minutes today to visit our new website, www.makewallstreetpay.org. There, you will be able to see what the banks owe you and your state, then send it to the debt collectors, leaders of the House and Senate.
Join us by billing the banks today!
