Is there anything better than getting revenge on the evil banksters while helping a progressive Democrat in the process? There is not. And I assure you, I did not need to take any hostages to get Bank of America to donate to Bryan Lentz. Bank of America is a notorious Republican donor. It paid dues to the Chamber of Commerce while it was receiving bailout money from the federal government. Now the bank has found the audacity to foreclose on thousands of working Americans. It's time for a little bit of payback.
I have a Bank of America checking account because they have a near-monopoly where I live. The bank has a gimmick where they will deposit into your account the change from every purchase you make with a BoA debit card. They will also match the amount up to $250 for the first three months. I hate Bank of America. They treat me poorly every time I go because my direct deposit is too small for them to care. So for the last week I have been making $1.01 donations to Bryan Lentz via ActBlue. This means that I will receive 99 cents from Bank of America for every $1.01 donation I make to Bryan Lentz. So far Bank of America has donated $19.80 to Bryan Lentz. Very generous of them.
The DCCC knows that Bryan Lentz is competitive in his race against machine Republican Pat Meehan. This is their latest ad against Meehan:
Maybe you have gotten a BoA account in last three months. If so, please use my method and make those bastards and Toomey donors (BoA sent thousands to Toomey) cough up some money for Bryan Lentz. Donate here My diaries on the race are here and here. If you don't have a BoA account just savor the glory of making the banksters to boost a progressive Democrat vicariously through me and donate out-of-pocket to Bryan Lentz.
Recommend the diary if you want more people to know how to make BoA pay for Democratic victories. There is always 2012 too!
