Standing Up for Workers

Fresh off their "victory" in the Wisconsin Legislature, Republicans are flying to DC on Wednesday to attend a high dollar fundraiser at the offices of BGR Group, a lobbying firm started by Haley Barbour and others. We intend to greet them and send the message that we will not sit by idly while Republicans across the nation seek to restructure political power away from workers and toward corporate bosses. The demonstration is being organized by public interest, watchdog, and labor groups. DC for Obama is partnering with the organizers. Wednesday, March 16 5:00pm-6:30pm The Homer Building 601 13th St NW Washington, DC 20005

9. another kick

:kick:

also want to add this:

On March 16, 2011 a crowd gathered outside of the Homer Building in Washington, D.C., where Republican lawmakers from Wisconsin were hosting a corporate fundraiser. The protest's aim was to stand in solidarity with Wisconsin's labor protesters and to "draw attention to corporate loyalties of Wisconsin—and national—Republicans," said supporting organizers from MoveOn.org. Campus Progress caught up with a couple young people attending the protest to get their thoughts.
