Message:	Hi - A majority of Bank of America's shareholders voted to oust Ken Lewis as Chairman of the company's board. This is huge. Watch this video about this news and what people did around the country to hold Bank of America accountable, and join our campaign for the next steps. http://action.seiu.org/page/s/hugenewsbofa Shareholders cast an unprecedented vote of no confidence on Ken Lewis' leadership at Bank of America. It's the first step to real accountability at the financial giant. After weeks of advocating for major reforms at Bank of America we delivered more than 90,000 signed "taxpayer proxy cards" to the shareholder meeting yesterday. Thanks to the hard work of people like you, we'll make great progress in the weeks and months to come. Thanks for joining me.

Let's be clear: what happened yesterday is just the first step towards holding Bank of America accountable. Shareholders delivered a major vote of no confidence, but there's much more to be done.

While Ken Lewis is out as chairman of the board, he still remains the CEO of Bank of America. That's why we're calling on CEO Ken Lewis and new BofA Chairman Walter E. Massey to immediately implement these changes:

Commit to real financial reform
Stop consumer abuses and predatory lending practices that hurt communities
Provide bank workers access to affordable healthcare
Stop lobbying against pro-worker legislation like the Employee Free Choice Act to ensure bank workers have a voice on the job to protect consumers.

After weeks of advocating for major reforms at Bank of America we delivered more than 90,000 signed "taxpayer proxy cards" to the shareholder meeting yesterday. Allies like MoveOn.org, Brave New Films, True Majority, and many others were instrumental in the success of our actions.
