Have you heard about the Progressive Rally this weekend in DC? Did you hear about all the unions who are paying people to come to the rally?

One of our very own came up with a great idea. RJ in our tea party is a member of a union and he said if you live within 12 hours of DC they will pay for your transportation. He suggested you tell them we have 10-15 people going and we could get a free trip to DC!!

Here's the information: http://action.seiu.org/page/s/10210all?src=home=feature

If you are a union tea party person - think about that and go and report in to us.

We also found out that the United Methodist Church is supporting this rally. AMAZING! If you are a Methodist, you might want to contact the UMC and ask them what the heck is up. Check out UMC's participation here: http://www.umc-gbcs.org/site/apps/nlnet/content.aspx?c=frLJK2PKLqF&b=6247543&ct=8654507

According to the One Nation Working Together site, “more than 400 organizations, representing tens of thousands of individuals who have endorsed the One Nation Working Together campaign” have signed on as partners for the Oct. 2 rally in Washington, D.C.

This movement includes human and civil rights organizations, unions and trade associations, nonprofit organizations, youth and student groups, religious and other faith groups, educational, peace, environmental, and ethnic associations, and any other groups and individuals who are committed to pulling our country back together now.

President Barack Obama’s own Organizing for America has praised the effort, calling it the “biggest progressive demonstration in decades.” The list of organizations offering their official endorsements for Saturday’s “One Nation” rally reads like a who’s who of the far-left in America, including some usual suspects:
