Starts at 9am, which means they'll show up at 11am.

1st 15 minute break is at 11:30am.

They'll be back by noon, then resume the rally until lunch, which is at 12:30 pm. They return by 2pm, high, drunk and ready to go!

2:30 pm, another 15 minute break. Everyone back by 3:15 pm.

The rally ends at 4pm, due to union rules.

What a great day!

but, if the wind chill dips blow 50 then it could be called off

I heard on the radio today that it was a "Labor Day parade"

I think the news guy needs to flip his internal calendar forward 1 month

Here's what makes me laugh about some of you. It's a rally for a group that has different political beliefs than you do. Why do you care? It's attitudes like this that give many more centrist americans the creeps when it comes to the far right. Nothing is ever middle of the road--it's always all or nothing hate or love. Your "heros" are in your eyes perfect, so everyone who believes differently is by definition evil. No middle ground--always black and white--no shades of grey. Do you really believe that? What a harsh and unthinking way to live your life. Don't you think it's arrogant to think you ALWAYS have the answer to everything?

No, we just acknowledge the truth of many union leadership which has a long history of goon squad behavior to get what they want.

I would hope communist is a different view for majority of this country.

Do you think communism is middle of the road?

Do you not remember all the left said about Becks event?

umm, non-profit labor union meeting... corporatism is what we are marching against.

Once you understand that union members (good ole AMERICAN workers) get legal representation for their union membership dues that we would never get (or afford) by our individual selves, then you will "get it".

Until then, when you support corporatism against democracy, you support fascism, and fascism is the hate you support against working Americans

Jobs and justice? How does that even relate to this rally?

Democracy in action? Funny, I dont think you held the same view when the Restoring Honor Rally was held.

"Restoring Honor Rally" was clearly a FOX Murdoch/corporatist fiasco in action. Palin and Beck are FOX!

Government cannot create jobs, as much as they want you to believe it.
Justice? The DOJ has made it very apparent there is no justice at the top of leadership in this nation at this point in time. The law does not apply to them. That is grand justice.
