From Wall Street to the Gulf of Mexico, the news lately has been full of disasters caused by big corporations. They're out of control. Unaccountable. And they're getting away with it because they've bought so much influence in Washington.
It's time to take on the corporate lobbyists who have a stranglehold on our democracy. So on Monday at noon, thousands of progressives from MoveOn, AFL-CIO, SEIU, Jobs for Justice and National People's Action are going straight to K Street in Washington, DC to let the corporate lobbyists and their friends in Congress know we've had enough.
Since you don't live in the DC area, you probably think you can't be there. But we've rigged up an awesome virtual "march" web page that will allow you to still make your voice heard—right from your desk. You can join the event live from your computer anytime between 11:45 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Click here to RSVP:
At the virtual march, you can:
* Check out live video and a live blog from the march site.
* Make sure the march's message reaches Washington by letting your senators know we need to end the domination of corporations in Washington, DC.
* Talk to other virtual marchers and share a photo of yourself with your own rally sign.
RSVP to join the march online and add your voice here.
Hope to see you there, and thanks for all you do.
–Ilyse, Amy, Tim, Milan, and the rest of the team
P.S. The virtual march will be posted at this link tomorrow, if you want to bookmark it now!

Goldman Sachs: Fraud and Profit ! The Devil is an Investment Banker !
Unbelievable. Goldman Sachs, the Wall Street titan under investigation for defrauding investors, has posted profits of more than $3.5 billion over the past three months.

Tell the Senate to fight for taxpayers and consumers!
Watch our new video about our financial reform strategy as you sign the petition to tell your senators to rein in Wall Street's predatory and risky practices.
These "too-big-to-fail" monstrosities that caused the crisis remain out of control - and just a few bad bets away from another bailout.
Over the next week, heated debate on the Senate floor will focus on financial reform. We expect several attempts will be made to weaken consumer protections and create giant loopholes for the big banks.
Wall Street is lobbying harder than ever to fight reform. For the big banks, anything that stands in the way of their big bonuses, bailouts and casino capitalism is a threat.
Meanwhile, families across America trying to make an honest living continue to struggle.To learn more about Public Citizen's financial reform work,Vist/Click Here
Support reform! Take action to prevent a repeat of the crisis that plunged us into the Great Recession. Sign the petition for real financial reform.
Goldman Sachs and the rest on Wall Street are back to their old financial tricks and lobbying harder than ever to fight reform. For the big banks, anything that stands in the way of their big bonuses, bailouts and casino capitalism is a threat.
Keep up the fight. Take action for strong financial reform today!
Thank you for all you do.
