Citibank Using YOUR Money to Fight Workers
Congress authorized a $750 billion bailout so banks could keep lending money to struggling Americans and fix our economy.

Citigroup took $45 billion in bailout money. Without that money, they'd be bankrupt. But like AIG, Citigroup has no shame. Instead of making loans to Americans who desperately need them, they're spreading lies about the Employee Free Choice Act.

Tell Congress to put an end to bailout waste – and demand Citigroup stop using taxpayer money to lobby against the middle class.
