Wow!!!!! I'm so exited I can hardly type.....
This just in....
There will be a HUGE Labor Day March on Washington for the unemployed and underemployed to demand a massive public jobs project and unemployment benefits to address the dire economic conditions of millions of American workers.
The announcement was made by a newly formed powerful coalition of labor and political leaders.
There's more.....
The AFL-CIO along with hundreds of other labor unions have joined with progressive officials of the Democratic Party, including President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, governors from states across the nation, and hundreds of others, even a few progressive Republicans, and many hundreds of community service organizations to form the Labor Day Coalition for American Jobs Recovery and Worker Rights.
The details of the march are forthcoming, but rumor has it that the nation's capitol will come to a standstill this Labor Day, millions are expected to attend. President Obama will keynote the event laying out his program which includes not only restoring all lost unemployment benefits including stimulous subsidies and corba healthcare, but also extending medicare to the unemployed and, this best of all, a major announcement of an FDR style massive public works project to put millions of Americans back to work rebuilding America's infrastruction, technology, medical services, schools, arts, and other public service programs.
This will be a HISTORIC event. Oh MY GOD!!! I'm so happy!
*********** IMPORTANT EDIT UPDATE FOR NON-BELEIVERS *******
Did you think this was a dream??? haha, the fact is I did too until dsb put added a comment with a link to.....
THIS: some other people
OK, it's true that the other people don't have President Obama as keynote speaker yet.
But maybe if we all join together and support this march.... maybe it will be what we dream it can and should be.
Click on dsb's link! And send it to your union and political officials and community organizers, and... etc. etc.
We have to do this for ourselves because no one else will do it for us.
God Bless You all. (I love DailyKossacks, really I do.)
*********** UPDATE #2 ************
dsb asks a good question: Are there any labor organizer's in the house?
If you are please help with the demonstration.... you assistance would make a difference!
Thanks
