Liberal groups hoping to revive enthusiasm before November's midterm elections are encouraging their members to come to the Mall on Saturday for a rally that they expect to draw tens of thousands of people. Their goal is to reclaim the excitement that surged among left-leaning groups after the 2008 presidential race...
The organizers of this weekend's rally, dubbed One Nation Working Together, are calling it the "most diverse march in history." The amalgam of 400 progressive groups - including environmentalists, antiwar activists, church and civil rights groups, union organizers and gay rights coalitions - is planning four hours of speeches, songs and poetry...
One Nation's organizers, hoping to compete with the tea party movement, will try to hold the groups together as a revived political force if their rally is successful. They are promoting the event through their network of groups, on liberal radio and on television host Ed Schultz's show...
The groups involved represent many of President Obama's core supporters, including the National Council of La Raza, the NAACP, the AFL-CIO, the Service Employees International Union and the U.S. Student Association. The rally is separate from the Democratic Party's plan to spend $50 million to try to reach those same voters, though Organizing for America...
Organizers' expectations are high, though leaders were still trying to raise money to bring 50,000 students to the event. A plan by Comedy Central television hosts Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert to hold dueling rallies on Oct. 30 could appeal to some potential One Nation participants, creating competition for liberal-leaning would-be activists.
Unlike Beck's rally, in which overt politics took a back seat to religious and patriotic themes, the progressive groups will repeatedly remind attendees to vote in the midterm elections, said Arlene Holt Baker, executive vice president of the AFL-CIO....

Watch for the Mall to be trashed.
They can promote this Nuremberg Rally from Hell all they want, but the FACT of the matter is that Zombie Admin has lost the MODERATES.
Without the Moderates and Independents, his admin and his marxism is DOA.
Don’t sell these people short. There are literally DOZENS around the country who will attend.
Thanks for posting! Beck is all over this too.
From his The Blaze website:
President Barack Obama’s own Organizing for America has praised the effort, calling it the “biggest progressive demonstration in decades.” The list of organizations offering their official endorsements for Saturday’s “One Nation” rally reads like a who’s who of the far-left in America, including some usual suspects:

“... four hours of speeches, songs and poetry. “
Poetry? Ouch.
“One Nation”, eh?
Is that sort of like
“Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer”?
Vogon Poetry?
The Washington Post will do their part to make it look successful - and search for moderates to interview.. ( THE OPPOSITE of what they do at a Tea Party - where they hunt for extremists ) Will they have bands to trick viewers into thinking the young people showing up for a free concert are political? Bet on it.
“Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer”?
Ja! Ja! Ja!
I’m sure the LSM will report millions attended.
Students? It's a paid job. Too bad papers like the Washington Post can't find that out - odd considering how their staff members are friends with the people doing the scams...
HuffPuff providing free busses from NYC to D.C. No doubt free box lunch too.
We can’t expect socialists to pay their own way when they can mooch off others.
Even worse: Maya Angelou.
It will an amalgamation of all the forces aligned AGAINST the patriots of America. These people/organizations who choose to gather and trash the mall in the name of communism/socialism/marxism/diversity are willingly displaying their active hatred of the country which has given them the plenty that they so fervently squander in the blatant ATTACK against that same benevolent country.
Make no mistake fellow patriots, these people are the enemies of the United States of America...
