1. You must really like BoA to remain as a customer

I drop kicked their ass almost a year ago.

6. I don't recall saying I was a customer of BOA but go ahead.

8. I reconsidered - and will sign the petition.

My logic was that customers would leave and it wouldn't matter.

They will anyway but a successful petition will rub salt in the wounds.

Thanks.

2. More effective than a petition? Move your money out of their bank to a credit union. n/t

[Lyric]

5. Or even to a competing bank, if there's no local CU.

At this point, very few banks are as evil as BoA. You've got nowhere to go but up.

[PoliticAverse]

3. Apparently not sick enough to find another bank or better a credit union. n/t

[Politicalboi]

4. I don't know if the poster has a B of A account

Does it matter? If B of A gets away with this, most banks will follow. It will be the norm soon.

7. They can fee themselves into oblivion for all I care. Last I heard BoA stock wasn't doing so well.

9. Done.

10. signed but i don't think it will help.

11. I think the best way to "petition" them is to move your account to a credit union. NT

12. Signed. Here's how change.org petitions can actually result in change:

From an email I rec'd back in July:

Best. Week. Ever. Here's what happened in the last seven days, because Change.org members took action:

1) Ai Weiwei released! A petition started by more than 20 directors of the world's most famous art museums turned into an international movement. 140,000 of us joined the campaign, and on Wednesday the Chinese dissident artist was freed. Weiwei's manager says Change.org members were "amazing" and personally thanked you for the support that helped to lead to his release.

2) Women in Saudi Arabia are driving! Saudi women activists won 3 campaigns on Change.org this week: With your help, they got charges dropped against Manal al-Sharif, who was arrested for driving a car in a country where it's illegal for women to do so. After two more petitions targeting Hillary Clinton and Europe's top ambassador Catharine Ashton, both spoke out forcefully in favor of giving women the right to drive (and Hillary says she only took a public stand because of this campaign!).

3) Sled dogs, saved! After a hundred sled dogs were brutally massacred in British Columbia, Lost actor Ian Somerhalder created a campaign on Change.org to get the province to change its policies governing the treatment of animals. More than 67,000 people signed, and British Columbia just adopted the strongest anti-cruelty laws in all of Canada!

4) Grand Canyon, preserved! With a uranium-mining ban about to expire in the area surrounding the famous U.S. landmark, Arizona resident Suzanne Sparling led the charge to extend it. She collected 50,000 public comments from Change.org members, and last Monday, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced his support for another 20-year ban on the dangerous practice.

5) And the Minnesota Twins make 5. To cap it all off, CBS reported on Tuesday that the Minnesota Twins will be the 5th pro baseball team to make an "It Gets Better" video to help prevent suicide by teens who are bullied for being gay. Every team that's made a video (Twins, Red Sox, Cubs, Mariners, and Giants) has done so after a local Change.org member started a petition asking them to. As these victories add up, the cumulative effect is eroding the culture of homophobia in men's pro sports.

We accomplished all this together, but every single campaign began when one person created a petition on Change.org.

13. Vote with your feet.

They are not my bank, I don't care what fees their customers choose to pay for their services.

14. already left BOA and commercial banks nt

[JackRiddler]

15. Don't petition them. Move your money. Find a credit union in your own town.

The only document I'd want to send those bastards would be a global cease-and-desist, or a notice of expropriation.

[NorthCarolina]

16. We are going to leave BofA before the charges go into effect. CU or S&L, haven't decided yet

but soon!

17. I am seriously considering switching to

The San Francisco Federal Credit Union. Just checked out their website site and I am impressed.
