Does Citibank fund oppression of women? Headquarters in SOUTH DAKOTA
Citibank (& Citicorp, Citigroup) has it's headquarters in Sioux Falls, SOUTH DAKOTA - a state that wants to legalize the oppression of women, and deny them their basic human right to their own body.

Citibank is the largest employer, and contributes 6% of their net income directly to the state of SOUTH DAKOTA.

Considering SOUTH DAKOTA's deplorable treatment of women as less worthy of rights to their own body, should we insist that we will NOT FUND such treatment of women by donating to their tax base via Citibank / Citigroup / Citicorp?

SOUTH DAKOTA has extremely favorable business policies for interest rate chargers, I believe Sears also moved their credit card division there as well.

Check your credit cards everyone! Are YOU funding SOUTH DAKOTA'S CRUSADE AGAINST WOMEN??

Citibank has a huge financial voice in SOUTH DAKOTA - let's persuade them to use it in defense of women (incl their own employees - they have THOUSANDS in that state).

My wish would be that Citibank could exert enough financial pressure on the state that SOUTH DAKOTA would be forced to reconsider it's draconian treatment of women.

It seems that only $$$ affects these knuckle-draggers.

1. Most credit card and banking companies do business from SD because
of their lax usury laws.
