DAY-29, CHASE BANK PROTEST, On and On and On goes the Chase Bank Commercial currently airing in California.

I've been trying to track down how much Chase Bank is spending just in California alone on their insipid and uninspiring "Blue Sky" commercial ditt featuring the John Lennon song Instant Karma. (...On and On and On, Well we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun, well we all shine on, everyone come on...)

Lennon's song is covered by Peter Murphy, former lead singer of the band Bauhaus.  The commercial is from the advertising agency of McGarry Bowen.  I haven't found the advertising budget but it has to be at least 10 million dollars, maybe much much more based on the commercial running once every half an hour on many different channels during prime time and late night news time for the past several weeks.

While Chase causes misery, stress and financial hardship with their "Change in Terms but you can't opt out" policy, Chase Bank glibly spend millions upon millions trying to delude people into feeling better.  Yech.  Even David Letterman just used the phrase on and on and on.

DAY-24, CHASE BANK PROTEST. I COULD NOT PROTEST TODAY. CUDDILY SHITSZU NEEDED EYE MEDICATION BADLY.

My mother recently lost her husband of 53 years and her sister within a month of each other. Having her also lose her dog (and no thank you, she cannot have another one, the daily care is too much for her to handle) right now is something I am trying to forestall.

Our shitszu's eyes need care and the prior eye doctor refused to reorder her medication because California state law requires an in office visit every six months before a prescription can be given to an animal. Well, we can't afford a 150 to 300 dollar visit for our dog, we can come up with the medication money only.

A compromise solution from a new vet may have saved us and the dogs eyesite. However, I still must ask, Is Chase tougher than a 13 year old shitszu?  You betcha. 

It is a shame that Sarah Palin can't break out of the current, republican platform that is too afraid to go against the biggest banks, no matter how hurtful their current credit card policies and practices are to the american people.

Even Arlen Specter saw the light and has changed sides, although not because of the credit card industry as the democrats are also afraid to go after Chase bank immediately and instead will wait until legislation passes. The problem is the credit card industry is doing a whole lot of damage "RIGHT NOW" to millions of americans credit scores with their unreasonable changes in terms.

DAY-23, CHASE BANK PROTEST. BACK to VENTURA BLVD. and TOPANGA CANYON. MY ORIGINAL CHASE BANK PROTEST SIGN REALLY GETS NOTICED.

CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE.

Today I discovered that my original "Chase, Keep your Word" sign gets more attention at the same location than my more "mobile" protest signs that I had used yesterday. People came up to me to ask what was going on. I think if I stay at this location for a few more days that more and more people will ask what is going on, or check out the website, and get involved.

I think what is starting to happen is that people who actually turn into the large parking lot on a daily basis will take the time to walk up to me and learn more, at least that is what happened today.

When people ask what is going on, I quickly mention the 250% increase in the monthly minimum payment, and that there is no opt out option. It is the no opt out aspect that usually makes people shake their heads in disbelief. They can't believe that in a civilized society of rules and laws that banks can change terms, and not allow the customer any say in the matter. 

People on the streets are turning out to be more reasonable, thoughtful, and fair, then the entire boardroom of Chase Bank.

When I next mention to those who stop by that AMEX, CitiBank, and American Airlines are conspiring to steal frequent flyer miles from AMEX customers so Citibank can trade them for better loan terms with American Airlines, people just can't believe that our government would let them down this way.  

Meanwhile Chase bank continues to run commercials around the clock on California television announcing their arrival in our state as if they have come to save us. GUFFAW! Chase Bank's advertising is possibly making the local television stations reluctant to publicize our growing revolt against Chase Bank and their credit card division for fear of losing their advertising dollars in this tight economy.

DAY-21 CHASE BANK PROTEST. Sprucing up Daily-Protest Header with Important Links.

Today was such a day.  

I've added several of the most important stories that Daily-Protest has broken first, along with very important links, onto the header of Daily-Protest.  I still need your help however.  By posting your own handmade Daily-Protest.com sign on a bulletin board, a countertop, or a store window, you can help Daily-Protest reach thousands of people who don't know this site exists.

DAY-20 CHASE BANK PROTEST, Fontainebleau Las Vegas Files Lawsuit Against Chase Bank, Bank of America and friends.

CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE.

Fountainbleu Las Vegas Casino Project Pictured Above, is now suing Chase Bank, Bank of America, and others for "bailing out" on their project in midstream.

Fountainebleu apparently secured 800 million in financing and the banks just backed out at the last minute. Construction crews and the manufacturers who supply them are now out of work, thousands of them.

It seems the credit card companies and banks will continue to hammer indentured credit card owners because they are easy, unaligned targets. Why invest in a construction project that creates jobs and stimulates not only the Vegas economy but several construction, manufacturing and service arms all over the country when it is easier to just run roughshod over existing credit card debtors by raising their credit card rates?

Heck, the banks will probably make a handsome profit by not stimulating local economies because that will create more and more families defaulting on credit card loans. Do you see how this works against families, and for the banks?

The banks can make more money in Las Vegas by keeping their own money, the government bailout money, and then waiting out everyone that is going to default on their credit card debt from lack of jobs. As banks starve out these kind of construction projects, it will result in an astronomically huge increase in credit card interest rates from around 8% or 9%, all the way up to 29.99 percent and even higher!

That much of a credit card interest rate spike literally makes credit card debtors indentured for life, causing credit defaults, until the banks just start taking away homeowners homes at pennies on the dollar.  

If you don't have credit card debt, this still can affect you as the customers that make your business thrive suddenly are just treading water at 30 percent interest on their credit card debt. Now your customers have to choose between these ridiculous credit card paydown terms or buying something from your business. 

As the banks thrive off of 30% credit card interest rate debt they also absorb more property defaults from those who couldn't find employment, just like what is happening in Vegas.

The less the banks do, the more money and property they acquire.  Credit Card interest rates should be dropping, now rising, as an incentive to banks to find long term loan deals that make them more money than credit card debt.

It is a myth that credit card companies are losing money from credit card debt, they are creating long term profit by defiling people's credit while also repossessing property.
