According to Americans participating in Bloomberg National Polls, 7 out of 10 agree that it is time for Wall Street to bail out the government and attempt to reduce the $1.3 trillion deficit. Our national deficit should not be subsidized by freezing educational and medical research, or by new gas taxes that struggling Americans can hardly afford.





Last year, the nation's six largest banks awarded their executives over $143 billion in bonuses and other means of compensation. Had those funds been used to boost our own economy, over 3.6 million jobs could have been created.



Please sign this petition to urge Wall Street Bankers and CEOs to begin taking responsibility for their actions.
