There are some hard core Chase Bank haters who are hammering away on the internet, contacting the media, complaining directly to Chase Bank, posting to the Chase Sucks Forum or at Change in Terms dot com, or writing a complaint at Consumer Affairs dot org.
Then there are hundreds of bloggers who are pissed off and will devote entire articles to their hate for Chase Bank. These bloggers don't have a dedicated blog to hating Chase Bank, but they have used their regular blog about coupons, headphones, raising kids, being in love, to suddenly go off topic and complain about Chase bank! I mean, WOW!
Then there are the thousands who are also taking the time to write letters to Consumer Affairs dot org, their congress person, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or the board of directors of Chase Bank, or just complaining to Chase Bank customer service.
Then there are the people who are googling, who have never before googled phrases such as "raise the monthly minimum payment", "OPT OUT", "Change in Terms", or "Chase Bank Protest". I can only imagine the feeling of vindication and rejuvenation they might feel when their google search reveals actual links to blogs and articles where others express similar sentiments such as feeling like they too have been kicked in the stomach, by Chase Bank.
Considering that this is a free google blog, I have still put HUNDREDS OF HOURS into it in front of the key board, plus several dozen more hours actually protesting on locations, even making the protest signs takes time. I can't forget the almost 10 bucks for magic markers to make my protest signs with and free white cardboard stock from Costco.
Therefore seeing the recent spike in readership here is gratifying.
We all are motivating each other. The more hits Daily-Protest dot com and Bloggers Against Chase Bank dot com get, the harder I try. The harder I try, the more people seem to find my blog who then realize they are not alone, nor are they a loan.
On the one hand, I wish my audience was 10 times as large, as then I would know for sure that the messages from this blog are getting out there. On the other hand, my audience could easily be ten times smaller if Chase Bank had taken a different, less violent approach towards their customers.
Don't give up, please show up here every day, say hello. It all helps remind Chase Bank that strangers who don't even know each other or even live by each other, are amassing against them.
Just imagine if each one of you put up a Daily-Protest.com sign where others could see it, ouch!
Fortunately, my own research has led me to the conclusion that Jamie Dimon cannot win. The best chance Mr. Dimon has to save his own job is a very fast retreat from the harsh position Chase Bank has chosen to take against millions of their best, most loyal, never late making a payment credit card customers.
Remember, Mr. Dimon is not even schooled in being a banker, and may I say, it shows.
