Washington Mutual Boycott
From Jimmy Eusebio via the myohmy.org contact form:
"I've started the ball rolling. had my friends and relatives who had accounts at Washington Mutual Bank (where john "the TOWN CRIER" ellis owns shares) cancel their accounts. if only all the pissed-off taxpayers who have accounts do this as a protest, i'm sure it will put a dent in "TOWN CRIER'S" pocket. more importantly, other shareholders will be pissed if they realize what "TOWN CRIER" got them into!!! who knows, if this gets going where it the bank shares will go? point is why support a bank who's making johnny "cry baby" richer? P.S. how can this message get to the bank's directors? how can this be organized for account holders to be informed of this protest method?"
(Myohmy.org would like to point out that John Ellis is also part of the dishonest, disingenuous, greedy, lying, despicable, you'd-think-Ronald-Reagan-was-still-in-charge attempt by investor owned private utilities ( Puget Sound Energy ) to rewrite the Bonneville Power Administration's regs in such a way that the private utilites and their shareholders would profit while rates for customers of the non-profit public utilities would go up. This plan is actually even more obscene than the stadium gouge and must be stopped. Write every official you can think of!)
Who voted for this...?
From a visitor to the site:
"Some people have been asking who voted for the stadium in the first place. In the Seattle P.I., 1-7-97, it says the King County Council voted 8-5 to "authorize $336 million in bonds for a new Mariner ballpark". Those voting FOR: Jane Hague, Greg Nickels, Cynthia Sullivan, Larry Phillips, Louise Miller, Ron Sims, Rob McKenna, and Chris Vance. Those AGAINST: Maggi Fimia, Brian Derdowski, Larry Gossett, Peter von Reichbauer, and Kent Pullen. Your readers may wish to convey their thoughts to these fine officials at the King County Council: www.metrokc.gov/mkcc."
Moon the Owners
From Lyle Martinez:
"Organize for fans to stand during 7th inning stretch, drop pants and "moon" luxury boxes"
We say YES! Tbis must happen. Not opening night, but an agreed upon game later in the season. We will need a block of tickets in the proper section to get the gluteus maximus out of this gesture. If you would like to help Lyle organize this, contact him at:Amavel@aol.com
