14. We Could Learn Something From Latinos
*This* is how it is done! If the antiwar people decided to do a boycott like that, it would get attention. My newspaper had a picture of the antiwar protest over the weekend, but it was buried in one of the back pages. If we had a successful boycott, it would be on the front page. So, does anyone want to have a boycott like the latinos had?

7. Why do you think this is getting reported?
Who do you think this benefits? Clue number one: it's not workers.

18. that is why we need to legalize America's workers. \
as far as why it is getting reported... there is 600,000+ people protesting in one American city alone.

corporations LOVE the conservative xenophobic approach... focusing all of their outrage at the illegals and ot keep them in the shadow... working illegally, while the real issues are being ignored.

9. If only legal workers had the chutzpah...
Okay, now I'm for offshoring and offpeopling.

Hell, if nobody's in America for American anymore, why play the same worthless game? Illegals are out for themselves... corporations are out for themselves. Lawmakers, lawbreakers, let us denounce them all.

19. If only the left could produce such a turn out against the religious right
Hell imagine the look on Fred Phelps face if 400,000 mad as hell people showed up on his door step. Or better yet imagine the look and the conservative theocrats if we produced a turn thats pro seperation of church and state.
