They Dont Want Jobs They Want Revolution
Marxists, union officials, Code Pink leaders, and far left loons held a rally against capitalism today at the Chamber of Commerce Headquarters in Washington DC. The protesters dont like the kind of jobs created by Chamber of Commerce members in a free society.
Thats Marxist Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin speaking to the protesters from the stage.
And, what a coincidence
Here, Barack Obama came out today and supported the protesters and attacked banks right along with them. Youd almost think this whole movement was planned by the White House? Hmm.
Oh, Good Grief Barack Obama: Americans Are Frustrated With Banks
Obama reverted back to his old community organizing tactics today during his so-called jobs speech. The president said Americans are frustrated
with the banks(?)
The Los Angeles Times reported:
President Obama said Thursday that the Occupy Wall Street protests show a broad-based frustration among Americans about how the U.S. financial system works
Obviously, Barack Obama was reverting back to his old community organizing days. In his early years, Barack Obama, the community organizer, sued banks and lenders to ease lending practices.
State Sen. Barack Obama and Fr. Michael Pfleger led a protest in January 2000 against the payday loan industry demanding the State of Illinois to regulate loan businesses. (NBC 5 Week of January 3, 2000)
Idiots. Who would hire them if they were actually looking for a job? Nothing but commie scumbags looking for government handouts.
SEIU just sent out this email in Sacramento:

Hello,
If you havent already heard, there are protests happening around the country with calls to Occupy Wall Street. While the demands of the protesters are sometimes made confusing by the media, their main focus is clear: they want to bring attention to the disproportionate income created by big tax breaks to the mega-wealthy, and unfair tax loopholes which benefit the mega-rich at the expense of the rest of us. Starting today, a call to Occupy Sacramento was made by activist in the Sacramento area. It is happening from today through October 15th. If you would like to join in solidarity, they are meeting everyday at Cesar Chavez Park (910 I Street - Sacramento, CA). While there may be other groups there with other demands, we stand in solidarity with those seeking a fair tax system that benefits all people.
Additionally, please take the time to read and sign a petition for Rose Mary Gudiel (LINK: http://seiu1000.org/2011/09/sign-the-petition-i-stand-with-rose-mary.php)
If you have any questions, dont hesitate to contact me!

The 60's activist draft resisters burned their draft cards. They were the real thing.
Do these punks have the courage to burn the student loans they complain about?
So when baraq’s base shuts down DC, what will baraq do?
Ping. Here it is, right on schedule.
Months ago Mayor Johnson virtual ordered city employees to consult Van Jones' writings to get the proper ideas for solving the city's many. many problems.
Now what? Johnson has to choose between his good buddy and the citizens of the city. I wonder who he'll back.
Anti-war activist
Founder of Global Exchange
Has said that living in Castros Cuba made her feel like [she] died and went to heaven.
Organizer of Iraq Occupation Watch
Ms. Benjamin then lived for some time in Fidel Castros Communist Cuba with her first husband, who was the coach of that country's national basketball team. (Reflecting later on her years in Cuba, she said she had felt "like I died and went to heaven.") Cuban authorities deported Ms. Benjamin, however, after she wrote an anti-government article in the government-run newspaper for which she worked.
Benjamin was one of the principal architects of the 1999 protests in Seattle where rampaging anti-globalization activists burned cars, smashed windows and generally sowed disorder in a failed bid to shut down a conference of the World Trade Organization. Benjamin hailed the riots, which caused millions of dollars in property damage, as a battle cry.
He'll go on vacation. Someplace where Michelle is not on vacation with the other half of the government's fleet of wide-body airliners.
Looks like this story http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2789015/posts has a companion article now.
Obama is laughing his head off at these morons. I can hear him now.
Odummy: Look at these losers who believe everything I say.
They are no better than the terrorists who put on vests and blow themselves up because some sick imam told them to.
While the demands of the protesters are sometimes made confusing by the media, their main focus is clear: they want to bring attention to the disproportionate income created by big tax breaks to the mega-wealthy, and unfair tax loopholes which benefit the mega-rich at the expense of the rest of us.Of the 13 demands posted by the Occupy crowd, not a single demand even mentions the tax code, or tax breaks.
And all the while it was these same idiots that were calling the Tea Party a bunch of extreme terrorists.
The authorities could try and disperse the crowd before it gets too big, (water, noise). They seem to just let them sleep in the streets. Where’s Bloomberg.
Why do they need to Occupy DC, the Marxists already occupy it.
My 23 yo daughter is making plans to go to the Phoenix rally on 10/15. She’s apolitical really so I think she’s going because it’ll be kinda like Burning Man or something, lol. But with SEIU involved I think she’ll be very surprised when she gets there. Hopefully, her car won’t start...

Exactly. It’s do as I say, not as I do. The Tea Party has never behaved this way but the libtards lied and said they did. Talk about pot calling kettle.
Good God, those demands are insane!
___________________________________________________________
Demand one: Restoration of the living wage. This demand can only be met by ending “Freetrade” by re-imposing trade tariffs on all imported goods entering the American market to level the playing field for domestic family farming and domestic manufacturing as most nations that are dumping cheap products onto the American market have radical wage and environmental regulation advantages. Another policy that must be instituted is raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hr.
Demand two: Institute a universal single payer healthcare system. To do this all private insurers must be banned from the healthcare market as their only effect on the health of patients is to take money away from doctors, nurses and hospitals preventing them from doing their jobs and hand that money to wall st. investors.
Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.
Demand four: Free college education.
Demand five: Begin a fast track process to bring the fossil fuel economy to an end while at the same bringing the alternative energy economy up to energy demand.
Demand six: One trillion dollars in infrastructure (Water, Sewer, Rail, Roads and Bridges and Electrical Grid) spending now.
Demand seven: One trillion dollars in ecological restoration planting forests, reestablishing wetlands and the natural flow of river systems and decommissioning of all of America’s nuclear power plants.
Demand eight: Racial and gender equal rights amendment.
Demand nine: Open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live.
Demand ten: Bring American elections up to international standards of a paper ballot precinct counted and recounted in front of an independent and party observers system.
Demand eleven: Immediate across the board debt forgiveness for all. Debt forgiveness of sovereign debt, commercial loans, home mortgages, home equity loans, credit card debt, student loans and personal loans now! All debt must be stricken from the “Books.” World Bank Loans to all Nations, Bank to Bank Debt and all Bonds and Margin Call Debt in the stock market including all Derivatives or Credit Default Swaps, all 65 trillion dollars of them must also be stricken from the “Books.” And I don’t mean debt that is in default, I mean all debt on the entire planet period.
Demand twelve: Outlaw all credit reporting agencies.
Demand thirteen: Allow all workers to sign a ballot at any time during a union organizing campaign or at any time that represents their yeah or nay to having a union represent them in collective bargaining or to form a union.
These demands will create so many jobs it will be completely impossible to fill them without an open borders policy.

Demand fourteen: A new saddle for my unicorn.
