That link tracks the number of pageviews of the article about "Credit Unions" on Wikipedia.

The number of pageviews is rising a lot.

People are getting more interested about Credit Unions.

There is no reason to anyone who is angry about Wall Street to keep an account in a "Too Big to Fail" bank. No reason to keep money on Bank of America, Citibank, Chase, or Wells Fargo.

Time to choose a Credit Union:

According to the organizer,

"Together we can ensure that these banking institutions will always remember the 5th of November!! If the 99% removes our funds from the major banking institutions to non-profit credit unions on or by this date, we will send a clear message to the 1% that conscious consumers won't support companies with unethical business practices.

• Research your local credit union options • Open an account with the one that best suits your needs • Cancel all automatic withdrawals & deposits • Transfer your funds to the new account • Follow your bank's procedures to close your account before 11/05"

Here is what I suggest:

Do not move all of your funds. To put this big of a strain on the system may be irresponsible. Move some of your money out. Just opening an account will send the signal we need.

The TBTF are very nervous about the public knowing about Credit Unions.
