From Tea Party Patriots Chicago…
We’re holding a rally against the ShoreBank bailout on Wednesday, June 9 at noon outside the downtown location of ShoreBank at 134 N. LaSalle Street, across the street from City Hall. Joel Pollak, candidate for U.S. Congress (IL-9), and Isaac Hayes, candidate for U.S. Congress (IL-2), are scheduled to speak at the rally. We will be handing out fliers to educate the public on the corrupt, politically connected bailout of ShoreBank.
ShoreBank has received $35 million in stimulus funds, $75 million from companies that have received bailout money (Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, GE), and now they’re hoping to receive another $75 million in taxpayer money. ShoreBank provided Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Trinity United Church with a $10 million line of credit – now they need a bailout. We hope this rally can bring attention to this issue and help prevent this looting of our treasury. ShoreBank is attempting to cash-in on their connections with Barack Obama, Jan Schakowsky, Robert Creamer, Dick Durbin, Van Jones and more. At the very least, no taxpayer money should go to ShoreBank until there is a forensic audit of their finances.
Glenn Beck recently gave ShoreBank the blackboard treatment here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4.

We hope you can attend and/or help spread the word about the rally. This is a case where we can make a difference right here in Illinois.
