March to (DC) Madness (Progressives Plan to Shut Down Highway System)
Incoming e-mail ^ | 11/20/11 | Vanity

Dear MoveOn member,

Last week, a courageous group left the Occupy Wall Street camp in New York City and started marching to Washington, DC. Their goal was to bring the outrage and energy of the 99% directly to Capitol Hill. They're marching to call out the congressional Super Committee, which could cut a deal before Wednesday slashing Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid to protect tax breaks for the 1%.

The marchers' stories are powerful, and Congress needs to hear them before they slash programs that so many people rely on.

So we met up with the marchers yesterday and filmed a short video to help spread their story. It's critical that as many people as possible see this, as the Super Committee nears its critical deadline. Can you share it right now with your friends and family?

Watch the video

If enough of us share this video we can help the march get more attention, get more coverage in the media, and ultimately, put more pressure on Congress and the Super Committee.

After marching nearly 200 miles through the winter cold, they'll cross through Baltimore and prepare for their final push into Washington on Tuesday, just before the Super Comittee's deadline. Dozens of supporters have joined the march along the way. But it's up to all the rest of us to help share their story and make sure that by the time they get to Washington, Congress—and the rest of the country—is expecting them.

LOL! I was thinking the same thing. Can you say “road rage”? Hehe! May I suggest travelers in the DC Metro area stock up on a few dozen eggs? ;-)

I call BS on the entire thing.

On what roads will they travel? Nobody anywhere is allowed to walk on the Interstate system so marching down I95 is certainly out.
Nobody that I am aware of has actually seen any of this riffraff marching antwhere

These OWS punks “Want everything given to them for free.” Those GI’s who crossed the English Channel in 1944 were “Willing to die for freedom and to free others from tyrants.”

Yeh right--- they couldn't even shut down the corner of Wall Street after getting kicked out of Zoocotti Park.

Why would any Freeper support the communist re-distribution of wealth?

Should you be putting this message up on DU?

I don’t think STD supports these folks. He’s merely informing us.

Given the traffic gridlock on the beltway much of the time, they will be walking faster than those of us in automobiles.

Their big target is to Occupy Congress soon. Shut it down, lay siege to it. (burn it down?) Their demand is for the GOP to bow down and pass Obama’s “jobs bill”.

OWS is nothing but Obama2012’s brownshirts
