Bank of America supports HSUS by offering credit cards that support them. Follow the link if you want to see for yourself.

Please stop banking with Citizens Bank. I applied for a small
business loan to buy a gun shop and was denied do to their policy of
not lending to the firearms industry.

This is not a baseless claim, I have their policy listing the
restricted business. Clay Sportsmens Club is moving their money
market after asking if they would loan to a gun club and were told no
loaning to any gun related organization.

I have sent SCOPE President, Ken Mathison all pertanent information and he
should have received it today. I also have contacted the NRA, NYS
Conservation Council and am contacting NYS rifle and Pistol the NYS outdoor
writers Association Gun Week and Outdoor New York.

Please spread the word, move your acounts and let them know why. You
can also call your branch of Citizens Bank and ask them about their
loaning policies.
Let them hear from the gun owners, my goal is to reach 20 to 50
million sportsmen in the north east.

Thank You All

Oddly, I was looking through the latest Ducks Unlimited magazine, and there's a full-sized ad about BofA partnering with DU and forking out some serious cash. I can't remember off the top of my head, but I believe the purpose was to buy some wetlands.    :confused:
