If it weren't for billions of dollars in government bailout funds, there would be no AIG.

So why are failed executives receiving $450 million in bonuses this year?
Today, AIG CEO Edward M. Liddy will be asked just that by lawmakers in Washington, and we want him to know we're listening.
Click here to sign our open letter demanding a return of the bonuses and answers from AIG's CEO!

AIG wrote trillions of dollars in bad insurance contracts, but their managers aren't being fired - they're being rewarded instead! That's right, the same people who helped engineer the financial crisis - advocating risky, irresponsible insurance practices - are about to come out ahead.

President Obama has pledged to "pursue every single legal avenue to block these bonuses," and I'm hopeful the government will find a way to ensure bailout accountability for the long term.

But right now, before any more bonuses are paid, you and I need to speak up to stop the madness!
Demand AIG executives give the money - our taxpayer money - back.

AIG has claimed it's just honoring contracts with employees, but if it weren't for the government bailout, those contracts would be moot. We can't let AIG profit any further from America's pain.
After all, taxpayers now own 80% of AIG, and we deserve to know the bailout funds we provided are being spent for the benefit of all.

Fight the greed that started the financial crisis - sign our open letter to AIG today.
