And the next thing we need to monitor is how the NEA will benefit monetarily.

So we have ACORN, the Unions, ABC & NBC and now the NEA all canvassing and pushing the WH agenda. Lovely.

People will see it for what it is. It's either propaganda or coming together for the cause.
The nation is becoming polarized IMHO. Things are becoming "black" or "white"; you're either with the party or you're not and if you're not you're a "disrupter", "teabagger", "domestic terrorist" or some other name. There doesn't seem to be a middle ground anymore where compromise meets.

Yep, that's who it is behind it. Beck played the actual phone conversation Yosi had with NEA members. It was eerie.

Boo hoo, who cares? You guys jealous that people are coming together to support the president? I guess you miss the days of the president calling you a terrorist if you didn't support his agenda.

In total agreement with everything they do? This is called propaganda. They are supposed to support the NEA through tax payer money, not employ them with it.

Didn't congress recently enact a new law to specifically make this type of thing illegal?

During the phone conversation Yosi had mentioned something about it being illegal and they were trying hard to work around it.
