Like Ipreviously diary-ed Ed Schultz, on his Friday show announced that he would be featured at the 10.2.10 One Nation Working Together March.
Now I understand that Ed is not everyone's cup of tea---and I understand why some of you guys are angry---but I must respectfully disagree. Ed has a daily radio station listened by over 3.5 Million people and a Cable News TV show that is watched by over 750,000 viewers. He has a strong following and will bring some needed attention to the 10.2.10 March.
I appreciate his efforts and can't wait for the March.
Today, Ed, on his website undated his plans for the March---
On this Labor Day, Ed Schultz updated his plans for the 10.2.10 March and wrote this:
Lets all join together and march as "ONE NATION" on Washington October 2nd
Our nation stands at a critical crossroads. The 30-year drive for a low-wage, high-consumption society that imports more and more of what it consumes has hit the wall.
Millions are unemployed, with little recovery in sight. A record number of Americans who want desperately to work have been jobless for more than 6 months.
...
Obstructionists in Congress are doing everything they can to stop anything that helps working people, and they are scapegoating workers for the demise of the economy. Public sector workers are being cast as selfish, auto workers are being blamed for the troubles of the auto industry, and teachers are being blamed for an education system in need of support.
...
Just as we have seen through history, fear mongers in our country have seized on that anger and are working hard -- unfortunately with some success--to use justifiable anger about a failing economy to divide us.
We have to fight this hateful demagoguery that only benefits our foes, and we can't do it alone. History has taught us that the best way to fight the forces of hatred is to address the economic policies that led to our economic suffering, and that our fight must draw its strength from an alliance of the poor and the middle class-everyone who works for a living.
It is against this backdrop that we join ONE NATION.

So, will you march on 10.2.10?
