Last month’s protests in Baltimore are still fresh in the minds of Americans. They evoked images of similar, often violent demonstrations that took place last August in Ferguson, Missouri, after the police shooting death of Michael Brown.
Well, there are still protests happening today in Ferguson – but they’re a little bit different. Here’s the first part of a statement released this week by the Millennial Activists United:
“On May 14, 2015 many individuals and organizations of the protest movement that began in Ferguson, Missouri organized a sit-in in the office of Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE). The demand was simple: Cut the checks.” In other words: People are angry that they haven’t been paid for protesting in Ferguson as they were promised.
So who is MORE, exactly? Here’s the next sentence of the statement:
“Early in the movement, non-profit organization MORE, formerly known as the St. Louis chapter of ACORN…” ACORN (aka Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) filed for bankruptcy in 2010 after undercover video surfaced of ACORN workers allegedly engaged in illegal activities like soliciting voter fraud.
But the nationwide group had other problems as well, according to author Matthew Vadum:
“ACORN had a lousy employee relations track record too. It habitually failed to pay wages to its workers, directed workers to commit voter registration fraud, busted attempts to unionize the group, asked to be exempted from paying the minimum wage, and sent women to canvass alone at night in bad neighborhoods.” MORE was also known for more aggressive tactics, Vadum writes:
“MORE members went door to door last December distributing flyers in the neighborhood of St. Louis County Circuit Judge Maura B. McShane. Another way of looking at this is to say that they –like a Latin American drug gang– were trying to let the judge know that they know where she lives.” The revelation of all these tactics in Ferguson begs the question: How many of last month’s protesters in Baltimore were doing it for personal reasons – and how many were getting paid to do it?
And what would Nancy Pelosi have to say about all this?
They were all being paid to do it. If they weren’t they would be at a place called W-O-R-K.
And what would Nancy Pelosi have to say about all this?
ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
They should demand $15 per hour, no less.
‘MORE’
What a perfect acronym for a group of Leftists! But I am sure this story won’t make the alphabet’s evening news...........
Hey, Ms Useful Idiot, how does feel to be screwed by George Soros?
Communists aren’t supposed to make money ya dumb commie.
Paid poverty pimps petition for their pay...
This worthless POS should shut the hell up and make me a sammich.
She was down for the struggle with her brothers and sisters.
All these people have a mental disease.
LOL! ACORN is only union friendly when they are bleeding taxpayers. They don’t want to donate their own blood.
Why that headline when no woman is named in the article?
Does anyone else find it ironic that MORE had a white chick protest and then did not pay her???
STFU, you worthless leftist!
I have to say it is perfect. “We want MORE!”
Liberalism is a black hole that sucks up everything in its path, yet produces nothing in return and keeps wanting MORE.
LOL. Buried in the article: “... busted attempts to unionize...”
Dims treating Dims like they ask to be treated - and then they act all surprised - freakin’ amazing.
