This is the first I've heard of the Move Your Money initiative. They make a compelling emotional appeal to have you put your money in local banks.



However, Stephen Colbert and team took this opportunity to make their own video from the other perspective and the result is nothing short if spectacularly hilarious.

Here's more about the Move Your Money initiative from the Huffington Post:

In the past week, Move Your Money evolved from a New Year's Resolution into a national movement.

Press coverage spans the spectrum from mainstream outlets to advocacy blogs and progressive organizations -- from Dissident Voice and Democracy Now! to the Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, CNN's Rick Sanchez and MSNBC's "The Ed Show".

Press coverage hardly captures the whole movement, however. Across social media sites like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, a surge of grassroots organizing is showing how Americans are making the Move Your Money initiative their own.

All in all it sounds like a solid idea. Vote with your money and spend it wisely. I'm all for it.
