Move your money out of Wall Street's 'Big' banks and move it to a small 'Local' Hometown bank or Credit Union.
http://moveyourmoneyproject.org/WHY SHOULD YOU MOVE YOUR MONEY?
INVEST IN MAIN STREET, NOT WALL STREET
When you keep your money in a local financial institution, that money in turn is reinvested in local businesses, which is important for building a stable economy and encouraging local growth. Put your money in the big Wall Street banks however, and they will use your deposits to make risky investments, gambling at the expense of the economy as a whole.
END TOO BIG TO FAIL
The big banks on Wall Street gambled with our money, then demanded a bailout of $700 billion. The size of these Wall Street “Banksters” threatens our economic system, yet their size has only increased since we bailed them out. According to FDIC data, the largest 5 banks held 13% of US deposits in 1994, today they hold 38%. If the government wont step in and break them up, then we must move our money ourselves and end ”Too Big To Fail” once and for all.

http://moveyourmoneyproject.org/Your money in a Credit Union is safe. Credit union deposits are federally insured to at least $250000* just like the FDIC. No taxpayer funds have ever been used to bail out a credit union. In fact, credit unions are poised to assist in economic recovery and have money to lend.
