A lot of time on their hands
January 25, 2010 | Iowa, alternatives | Comments (1)Theses Iowa radicals–CCI– are fanatics. Check this out:
The Wells Fargo protest will be in Des Moines on Tuesday, Jan. 26.
Wells Fargo is hurting hardworking families. They pour money into lobbying against meaningful financial reform. At the same time, they are foreclosing on families and financing payday lenders that charge hardworking families 400 percent interest rates. Iowans say enough is enough.
CCI’s demands for Wells Fargo include:
- Stop financing payday lenders that trap people in a cycle of debt and suck tens of millions of dollars out of our communities each year.
- Modify more loans to keep families in their homes.
- Cancel your bonuses; instead use them to relieve state budget crises.
- Stop lobbying against the people, instead lobby for the Consumer Financial Protection Agency and other financial reforms that put people first.
Hey, Wells Fargo is just about the last bank in the country still making mortgages. Leave them alone. And they offer a competitive alternative product to payday loans. Why doesn’t CCI get into the business of offering a payday loan alternative instead of holding protests against institutions like payday lenders and Wells Fargo that help out working families?

These people are basically Iowa’s version of ACORN. They are heavily financed by the SEIU and ACORN. The specialize in shaking down businesses. Their group has about 250 hardcore members who are committed enough to show up for a protest. They are mostly centered in Des Moines. If you look at their membership it is a “Who’s Who,” list of progressive radicals.
