Local MoveOn council to rally for health care reform on Wednesday
The Kaw Valley MoveOn Council is having a rally at noon Wednesday at Ninth and Massachusetts streets.
The council supports health care reform with a strong public option.
Members of the movement will have stamped, addressed post cards available for passersby who want to write their senators and representatives about the issue. The council will mail them.
“As the national debate reaches a crucial point, we want to make sure that our voices are heard in Washington,” said Jo Anderson, coordinator. “We hope to have a sizable crowd of supporters with signs and encouragement to entice those who haven’t yet contacted their elected officials in D.C. to take this time to do so.”

I encourage all free thinking independent liberals to do exactly what MoveOn tells you to do.

It would sure beat following in lock-step what Fox News tells people. It isn't the free thinking independents and liberals spreading hate and fear. It is Fox News with Sean Hannity, Glen Beck and all their rightwing "contributors".
They have become a despicable lot. All of 'em.
BigPrune (anonymous) says…
Will the moveon people be wearing sky blue shirts while singing praises to the New Prince of Peace? All your people need now is a special little goose step march. I'm sure Soros understands.
snap_pop_no_crackle (anonymous) says…
Make sure you have the correct props and set of talking points. SEIU will be handling those that get off-message.

Indeed, Obama's spiritual mentor Rev Wright was correct................America's chickens are coming home to roost......in Lawrence.

Big Al: Ed Shultz is all sweetness and grace too, isn't he?
Oh, yeah for the uninformed Ed is MSNBC's answer to Hannity.
2002 (anonymous) says…
I wish they would just follow their name and move-on. MoveOn is a very close minded organization. It appears that they support a solution and have no room for compromise. So yes, they do remind me of Sean Hannity.
BigDog (anonymous) says…
Big Al .... you mention hate and fear. Have you read the move-on website?
And fear? Aren't some of these same people the one's who keep talking about the end of the world because of global warming?
Yeah..... move-on is such a warm fuzzy group of people
AreUNorml (anonymous) says…
If i take one of their cards and just write "F U" on it, will they still mail it? If not, isn't that suppressing the constituents message to our elected officials?
Move-on is a joke. The mindless victims that subscribe to this smear club will get all that they deserve in the end.
AreUNorml (anonymous) says…
wow Big Al, did Soros tell you to hate Fox? how come 30% of Fox News viewers identify themselves as liberal, 40% as Independents. Those figures, along with the sky high ratings that the network enjoys, seems to contradict your ideas that Fox is a conservative, right wing, conspiracy.
I think your boy George Soros is dooming the Democratic party along with the president by boycotting Fox News.

BigDog and everyone else...
Global Warming is now called Climate Change
Liberals are now called Progressives
Deficit Spending is now called Stimulus
Somebody is up there laughing
