Ambush information dumping. these Chase work don't realy care why she is closing her account. I have been in the same situation where someone gets on their high horse and preaches to my employees..there are more effective ways to get your message across than dumping on the bank employees..

@JimmyKnoxville Thank you for your feedback. I politely disagree with your statement that "there are more effective ways to get your message across than dumping on the bank employees..." First of all, I don't see it as "dumping," which carries such a negative connotation. I am gently informing, and offering more information as they respond and inquire. They are not just "employees" -- they are fellow human beings as invested in the destruction to our home, planet earth, as I am.

@JimmyKnoxville I also don't agree with the idea that one type of action is more effective than another. It is the collective non-violent efforts from the grassroots that equals and affects the sum of change. Education, petitioning, contacting politicians, boycotts and divestment, protests, marches, street theater and spectacle, personal choices, prayer, day of action, etc... All of these "scratches" matter. What methods do you employ and endorse to affect change against MTR and big banks?

She is very effective with her personable style and respectful manner; these employees will retell the story almost for certain. That counts so much, but if her words were not followed by the act of closing the account, the message would not have the same impact. I wish there were groups where we could practice interactions that are as effective as hers.

@theguitarkid789 Thanks for the feedback. I think being genuine, honest and positive in spite of our outrage is very important. As we can see, most employees are completely CLUELESS as to what their blue swastika boss is up to.

Corporations [run by a GROUP of people] are now considered a protected Constitutional individual. YOU, an individual, are just as important, impactful and powerful as them, so don't be afraid to take DIRECT ACTION on your own, share this video and make a difference.

[TheDalliance]

Amen, brother. Disinvest!

I disinvested EVERYTHING! Seek "Bankrupt Is The New Black" and ye shall find!

[NewGrowthMedia]

@TheDalliance Actually, it's Amen SISTER... ;-) But thanks for the feedback, and please keep the conversation going!

[TheDalliance]

@NewGrowthMedia Sorry, Sister! Peace be with you.

Robin, I am so happy to see that you are still being proactive in what you believe and setting a good example for others to follow. I will spread the word about this video to everyone so they are made aware of Chase's practices. I would personally close my account with Chase if I hadn't already done so already a year ago due to their bad practices just as a bank(including taking money from my account without just cause).

Wow! I love this lady! If only more Americans cared about something other than themselves and their possessions, we might restore our Republic.

Very inspiring.

[NewGrowthMedia]

@bigken61 Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad to know it has inspired someone to spread the word and start exposing Chase's sinister program.

[NewGrowthMedia]

@bigken61 Thanks! I agree with you wholeheartedly. It's a spiritual disease, the distractions and trappings of material possessions versus developing character and relationships as a measure of happiness and success.

I try to imagine a world where everyone just simply cleaned up after themselves, in the literal and metaphorical sense. That's what I work towards...

Glad you were inspired. Hope that you will share this video and encourage your friends and family to close their Chase Accounts!

Bravo! Good for you! I shared this on Twitter.

[groovyshamrock]

Good job! Very inspiring.

I love it how calm the choirmember stays. A great example of nonviolent "direct action".
