FREEPORT, Ill. (AP) — The Rev. Jesse Jackson has been arrested in a group of protesting northern Illinois workers during an act of civil disobedience in Freeport.
Michael Peery, a spokesman for Jackson's Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, tells The Associated Press that Jackson was taken into custody Wednesday with about a dozen workers. He is expected to be released later in the day.
Good thing. He is trying to bring attention to more jobs leaving America, while also pointing out, that this corporation Sensata is tied to Bain Capital, Willard Romney's affiliates. Rumny still has investments w/bain thru a possible blind trust, it is presumed by many to be a conflict of interest.
Jobs go overseas because of obama's policies. President Romney has has nothing to do with Bain for over ten years.
Do you even know what a blind trust is? Doesn't sound like you do. He can't touch or make any decisions on any of his holding, by law. He has no more control over his holding than you do.
There is no conflict of interest, that is the whole purpose of a blind trust.
You make things up in your wild imagination and presume they are true. You look foolish making such claims......
There was a strike at my workplace in 1994. We were protecting Obama?
So, a good union man. I suspect you don't even know what the strike was about, it's called group think..
The union speaks, the minions act without thought...
He, jackson is trying to draw attention to the problem. He is only one person. Had the occupy movement been more focused and organized, maybe they could have accomplished something. Instead, the went after wall street and the banks, which is only the tip of the iceberg of problems America has to deal with.
There is a need more people in high places to try to get the word out that it's not ok to put Americans out of work.
What are the occupy people going to do? It is simple economics, when companies are competing on the world market, they must have competitive labor costs, paying union members 5 times what they can pay someone in China is why they are going to China, protest all you want it will not change that fact.
Well, to all you members that think I am full of it, just remember this, Americans cannot work for $2.00 a day. There would be mass starvation, death, more homeless, and other bad things if corporate America sees nothing except their greed for profits.
The next thing I want to see is caterpillar, harley-davidsons, and some more American icons go to china. Poor little corporations.

Yeah, a blind trust is like a 401K which has an administrator who decides where to stick your money and you have no input, like the S&L failures where my spouse lost thousands of dollars. Because of wall street's recent downturn, it was said the average 401K lost $13K.
Blind trust which willard has, none of his $$$$ go to bain? you know, those hostile takeover people that put Americans out of work? Wonder how willard is going to create 12M jobs? Government employees working for defense contractors?
And willard ain't President yet.

And after China it will be C. Eurasia then MENA and then sub-Sahara Africa so it's something these fools better get used to unless they feel like starting another world war or even better a nuclear war.

Good that he is bringing attention to jobs going overseas. Why don't we start with bringing attention to the top. Why do companies ship jobs overseas? Because the government makes it so dang hard to keep the jobs here. Companies aren't charities. They aren't supposed to just give people jobs out of the goodness of their hearts. If they don't make profits, they fail. Just look at the automotive industry. They couldn't keep up with the price of labor and the pensions those wonderful unions were demanding. That is why the jobs go overseas. obama even gave GM more money, and what did they do. Yup, created new jobs....overseas. Thanks obama. Oh, and if you didn't know...obama is also assosciated with Bain since they gave him and he accepted lots of money for his campaign.

Yeah, Obama received $3.69M and willard received $31M.
blah, blah, blah. kind of lopsided ain't it?
So nice to see American hearts still bleed for corporate greed.
Wonder where those American corporations put their profits? in swiss bank accounts to avoid taxation by the US Government?
Rev. Jackson is still confused. He should be leading workers and all Americans to buy American. Only Americans can look after the interest of Americans. And they do that by controlling what and where they spend their recources. Also we can tax via tariff or import tax on anything brought into the USA. Greater income from import tax could help with the national debt.
