New Orleans get ready! Protest ALEC-Aug. 4 & 5.

[midnight]

Koch, Scaife, DeVos, ALEC, all their corporate and legislative members and numerous foundations, associations and PAC's will most likely be the folks attending this ALEC event...

My guess is they plan how to balance more pain on the backs of the poor and working class.. But I can't say for sure... The article does discuss the prison labor move to replace Union and Public workers in order to prepare them for release once they leave prison... An interesting way to promote prison labor over livable wage jobs ie. govt. and union jobs is through religious publications: "World Magazine" and "God's World Publications."


"Always keep in Mind that Boehner, Cantor, Walker and Kasich are ALEC Alumni and thus financial friends of Ol' Chucky and Davy, working on their behalf for corporate interests and against everything government"




"Please join us at Exposing ALEC - or donate to the ProtestALec efforts - in New Orleans on August 4th and 5th at our Protest Alec event as we continue to drag these people and their agenda into the full light of day and in sight of citizens from coast to coast. They simply have to be stopped before democracy disappears completely from the American landscape, replaced with Corporatocracy."

1. I'm sure there are domestic servants who will cater this event.

Valet parking people, maids and servers should strike and refuse to serve these treasonous criminals!
How can we get a message to these people to let them know they are catering to people who are destroying
their very lives. I'm sure some of them do not know and feel impotent to do anything. But this is what America
has done throughout it's history.

[999998th word]

2. I try to educate people about this -where and when I can

Truth is stranger than fiction in this case. Many people get 'that look' like I'm a nutjob conspiracy theorist who forgot my tinfoil hat @ home.
It does sound incredible to someone who is just hearing about it @ first.-don't see all that many people,but I share this with everyone D or R.
What are some effective ways to present this to those people so they follow up and check it out.
This is just too much of a shit sandwich for anyone to digest at first.

3. Right.... but then you have to wonder how in the world did these koch roaches

go unnoticed by the party? If it wasn't for a Madison Professor here in Wisconsin, I would of never heard about them... He is one brave man.... I think the most effective was is to show them the ALEC award winners first:http://ramblings-fran.blogspot.com/2011/07/meet-alec.html
