Tell the Treasury Department: Get our money back

Goldman Sachs has now admitted they took $13 billion in taxpayer money they didn’t need.

Imagine if Donald Trump and Bill Gates made a random bet for $13 billion, Trump lost, and then told the taxpayers to pay Gates for him. Crazy, right?

But that’s exactly what happened when AIG used $13 billion in taxpayer bailout money to pay off a side bet Goldman Sachs made. Goldman recently boasted that they didn’t even need the money. So let’s demand it back!

Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner has the ability to get our money back. And this Wednesday, our friends at The Young Turks progressive talk show will lead a protest and deliver thousands of petition signatures to Geithner demanding just that.

Can you sign the petition demanding Geithner get our money back from Goldman Sachs? Click here.

The Young Turks have already done a great job getting thousands of signatures, and they’re informing the media about Wednesday’s petition delivery.

Every additional signature will increase the impact of Wednesday’s event — so please pass this email to others and share the petition on Facebook and Twitter after signing.

Lets send a message that as schools and government programs are facing budget cuts, it’s absurd for the Treasury Department to let Goldman Sachs casually take $13 billion of our money.

Thanks for being a bold progressive,
