I have a community bank that I've been with for years, but also use one of the 'big' ones. Thanks for the push to take action and end my association with red, white and blue.

I was just thinking the other day, that if we all took our money out of all the banks, the banks wouldn't have any money to work with, right? But then I realized that if we took all our money out, where would we put it? Oh yes, sure...some of you would say they would "cash in" and keep all their money with them. That's okay if you only have a few dollars. But what if you had thousands and thousands of dollars to move out of the big banks? The answer......? Of course, "move your money" to your local banks and credit unions! But wait a minute....Any local bank, any local credit union? No, it would be a bank or credit union that would be willing to pay us a "fair" interest rate on the money we put with them. What's fair? Certainly NOT the insulting interest rates that are being offerred NOW through ALL the banks and credit unions. How about if we create a "website" (like the Lending Club and Prosper and others)that would make the local banks and credit unions "bid" the highest rate they would offer us, to move our money to them??? That would be very fair and honest, and a "win/win situation. I do think it's time, to have FULL CONTROL of our money, by having the banks come to us for a change (through the "bidding" Website), and by being able to earn a better interest rate.

I don't think there is a single thing Americans can do right now that will help our local communities more. This is one of the largest stones in the foundation of local economies. Punishing big banks for their failure to lend out taxpayer money provided for that purpose while paying obscene bonuses is a real feel-good, but the real prize is the nourishment this will give to local communities. I am going to feature it prominently on my <a href="http://www.robinhoodlum.com" rel="nofollow">little political site</a>. What a great idea!

They sponsor the local rodeo, little league, cycling events and care about the local people. What about the Bank America? (Wall Street) Got my money in a small community bank.
