The 99%, Union letter to get 100,000 people to train in spring (Obama, speech)

[roysoldboy]

Here is a letter that has gone out to over 100,000 people of the OWS group that seems to be inviting them to be trained in non-violent methods of protest. Remember how non-violent those people were by fall? This thing says they will use sites like churches, colleges, and others to train their groups in April.

Do any of you remember Obama talking about the civilian army that would be needed to maintain peace? I heard that part of that speech just this afternoon but would be glad to post it here once again if anybody really cares.

Notice the names that are signatories of this letter. Some interesting people from some very interesting groups like a number of unions and even Van Jones.

***From April 9-15 we will gather across America, 100,000 strong, in homes, places of worship, campuses and the streets to join together in the work of reclaiming our country. ***


The 99% Spring

Re-claiming the country would mean voting out incumbent Obama.

Workers might take union jobs and that isn't what they want them to do.

OWS is trying to reinvent itself after the disastrous PR over the winter.

But remember, when it comes down to it, they are nothing more than disgruntled, bitter, nasty leftists.
