Protestors gathered outside the Bank of America branch on East Sunshine Street in Springfield Feb. 26 to voice their objection to what they feel is the bank's lobbying against proposed financial reforms. The group also "called out Congressman Roy Blunt for his ties to large banking and financial institutions," according to a release from the group. The group advocated for reforms that include a crackdown on deceptive practices by credit card companies, requiring large banks to keep a portion of profits in reserve for emergencies, and preventing lenders from making loans to borrowers who can't repay them.
