further contact: Jim Albertini 966-7622, email ja@interpac.net

A petition will be delivered 4PM Monday, Nov. 7, 2011 by an ad hoc group of the Hilo “Occupy Wall St. ” gathering that has been conducting Monday sign holdings fronting the Hilo Merrill Lynch office on Kilauea Ave.  The petition demands “that Merrill Lynch remove it’s $55 Trillion in risky-bet derivatives from Bank of America FDIC tax payer insured accounts.”  The petition adds, “It’s a scam to stick the tax payer for another Bailout if and when the risky-bet derivatives fail. We will not Bail Out Merrill Lynch or Bank of America again. NO MORE BANKSTER BAILOUTS!”

Several attempts have been made to schedule an appointment with Merrill Lynch Hilo Branch Manager –Art Miho.  A delegation of ad hoc Wall St. protesters will deliver petitions along with a lei for Mr. Miho.  We want Mr. Miho to understand that it is Merrill Lynch, and its parent company, Bank of America, whose policies we oppose, not Mr. Miho personally.  We are committed to do what is pono and to do our best to always practice aloha in our efforts for justice and peace.
