how about going after banks in this way?
How about making small business card sized flyers that say

No more piracy by banks
Move your money to a local bank or credit union now.

Then blanket your community with those little cards. Tuck them in magazines, put them under windshield wipers, hand them out on the sidewalk outside the bank itself! Stick one in a public toilet stall, put on supermarket bulletin boards. Leave one on a bus seat.

You get the picture.

I would rather picket outside my BofA branch with a big pirate image on a sign, but I wonder if they would call the cops.

1. It sounds too radical that way.
Better to explain one to one why you should go with a credit union. If you have one mention that your credit union hasn't raised your rates. Experience and a recommendation are much more powerful.

3. too radical?
Leafletting is radical?

I thought radical meant burning things in the streets and throwing fake blood -- that kind of thing.

2. This is what happens when you are not economically viable!
