Stop the AIG Plunder

Stop the AIG Plunder

The people in AIG’s financial products division are as responsible as anyone for the severity of our economic meltdown. And yet, they’re currently receiving $450 million in bonuses. This travesty has unleashed a tidal wave of public outrage and forced President Obama to vow to “pursue every legal avenue to block these bonuses.”

Keeping up the pressure MoveOn.org is collecting names on a petition which the group will deliver to Congress in advance of tomorrow’s House subcommittee hearing with AIG executives. Add your name today.

Thank you for reading The Nation!

We hope you enjoyed the story you just read, just one of the many incisive, deeply-reported articles we publish daily. Now more than ever, we need fearless journalism that shifts the needle on important issues, uncovers malfeasance and corruption, and uplifts voices and perspectives that often go unheard in mainstream media.

Throughout this critical election year and a time of media austerity and renewed campus activism and rising labor organizing, independent journalism that gets to the heart of the matter is more critical than ever before. Donate right now and help us hold the powerful accountable, shine a light on issues that would otherwise be swept under the rug, and build a more just and equitable future.

For nearly 160 years, The Nation has stood for truth, justice, and moral clarity. As a reader-supported publication, we are not beholden to the whims of advertisers or a corporate owner. But it does take financial resources to report on stories that may take weeks or months to properly investigate, thoroughly edit and fact-check articles, and get our stories into the hands of readers.

Donate today and stand with us for a better future. Thank you for being a supporter of independent journalism.

Thank you for your generosity.
