You'd be wise to keep a cool head if you're going to CPAC. From the D.C. AFL-CIO:
Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)With workshops like “Return of Big Labor: What Can We Learn from Wisconsin & Ohio,” and “Taking back Wall Street: The Tea Party vs. Occupy Wall Street,” the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) descends on the nation’s capital February 9-11 and local labor activists are planning a DC lesson to ensure that the voice of the 99% are heard at this elite conservative gathering. Actions are currently being planned for noontime and after work on Friday, February 10. Featured speakers at CPAC include Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, and presidential candidates Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum.
You may remember what the union-aided Occupiers managed to do at the D.C. conference center in November. When conservatives staged a conference there, they banged on the windows, physically harmed at least one old woman, blocked local traffic, and used children as human shields. Much of the action was caught on tape.
The AFL-CIO is planning a disruption of some sort at noon Friday and another at 5 p.m. Here are some details about the event that AFL-CIO plans for noon:
Where Marriott Wardman Park Hotel (2600 Woodley Rd at Connecticut Ave NW)When Feb 10 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
What do Wisconsin Governor SCOTT WALKER, presidential candidates MITT ROMNEY, NEWT GINGRICH, RICK SANTORUM and House Budget Committee Chair PAUL RYAN have in common?
They all represent the greed of the wealthy 1% and they’ll all be at the 2012 Conservative Political Action Conference.
WE’VE HEARD ENOUGH FROM THE 1%! Join the rally featuring tents, an inflatable fat cat, puppets, “candidate Walmart,” and more to LET THE VOICES OF THE 99% BE HEARD!
Friday, February 10, at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel (2600 Woodley Rd at Connecticut Ave NW), by the Woodley Park Metro Station
Coordinated by the Metro Washington Council AFL-CIO
I’m sure that the D.C. Police force will use all necessary force to assure the First Amendment rights of the CPAC attendees and speakers(sarc).
On the clock too, I would bet. Astroturf smurfs. Wait, the smurfs were very productive and that would make them non- union.
Don't say you didn't know--you heard it here.
Hallmark of the Obama "administration"
Can’t wait
Too bad they didn’t do CPAC in Northern VA where it’s legal to carry and reciprocal. Indeed it’s really dumb for any conservative group to hold a conference or other major meeting in any location other than a legal carry and reciprocal location. In 2009 FR moved its convention from DC to VA just because of that. I know because it was my suggestion.
I thought I read some place that Sarah Palin was going to be the keynote speaker. Is that not true?
I imagine quite a few veterans and even some active duty servicemen will be attending, along with many Young Americans for Freedom types who would relish a confrontation. The occupiers could find themselves quite preoccupied.
Good for OWS. I despise CPAC, and am blowing it off for the 2nd consecutive year, along with 40 of my fellow bigwigs who had attended for 15 years straight. I will never attend a CPAC while Suhail Khan is on the ACU board, or at which GOProud is a honored guest.
Why do they hold these events in union hell holes?
