VIGILS AGAINST WAR FUNDING SPREAD ACROSS NATION
Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) organized "brownbag" lunch vigils against war funding at noon on Wednesday, January 20th, at the district offices of 22 members of the U.S. House of Representatives.
On February 17th, PDA will be joined by CODEPINK, AfterDowningStreet, Democrats.com, the California Nurses Assn./National Nurses United, and United for Peace and Justice in holding brownbag vigils outside (or inside) at least 36 congress members' offices.
Brownbaggers are demanding commitments to vote against more money for war. Slogans on their posters include: "Healthcare not Warfare," "Corporations out of Politics," "Bailout Main Street not Wall Street," and "Brownbaggers not Teabaggers".
Vigils have been planned in the following districts: AZ-5, CA-6, CA-9, CA-10, CA-18, CA-22, CA-23, CA-40, CA-42, CA-45, CA-46, CA-48, CA-50, CA-53, FL-9, FL-10, FL-17, ID-01, IN-9, MA-1, MA-2, MA-3, MA-10, MI-9, NY-18, NY-28, OH-13, OH-17, PA-02, PA-7, PA-15, WA-2, WA-3, WA-6, WI-3, WI-7. These are almost all at noon on Wednesday the 17th, but a few are at odd times, so check the details: http://tr.im/NsUa

What We Want:
Brownbaggers are asking members of the House to publicly commit to voting No on any bills that fund wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, or Yemen, and to publicly urge their colleagues and the House leadership to make the same commitment. As lesser steps in the same direction, PDA is encouraging congress members to cosponsor HR 2454, calling for an exit strategy from Afghanistan, and HR 3699, prohibiting any increase in the number of U.S. Armed Forces in Afghanistan. Congress members' commitments are tracked at http://defundwar.org
"We have to choose between jobs and wars," said PDA's national director Tim Carpenter. "The American people are on one side, but our so-called representatives in Congress are on the other. The Supreme Court is busy increasing corporate control of our elected officials. We need to be busy enforcing the people's control before it is too late."
"Without wasteful war and military spending," said PDA's deputy director Laura Bonham, "we could have healthcare, jobs, housing, education, retirement security, environmental sustainability, diplomacy and foreign aid. No longer will we take seriously anyone's claim to support these things while voting to fund more war."

I am very disappointed about the attacks on the tea party movement; although I am not aligned with all of their views I am intelligent enough to recognize that we are losing the war on corruption. We need every single American to join the good fight and such attacks are anti-productive.
Divisive rhetoric will only negate all the hard work and dedication that so many here have invested.
The real enemy are not conservatives or the tea party, but corporate thugs.
We must all unite to demand that our government begins to work for us not Wall Street.

Agreed . .. Tea Party Movement is NOT the Enemy . . . YET . . .
. . . but it IS being ATTACKED . . . CO-OPTED . . . PURGED . . . RE-BRANDED . . . and "ZIONIZED" . . . ;-)

"Is The Tea Party Movement Trying To Get Rid Of Ron Paul?"

. . . Cass "Mr. COINTELPRO II" Sunstein style!!! . . . ;-)
(clipped headline and article from RAWSTORY)
"Obama staffer wants ‘cognitive infiltration’ of 9/11 conspiracy groups -Cass Sunstein, a Harvard law professor, co-wrote an academic article entitled "Conspiracy Theories: Causes and Cures," in which he argued that the government should stealthily infiltrate groups that pose alternative theories on historical events via "chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups and attempt to undermine" those groups."

Just look at that "Dog and Pony Show" last week in Nashville which was mainly organized by a group known as "Tea Party Nation" . . .
. . . but when you go to "Tea Part Nation's" website, what do you NOT find anywhere?
"TEA PARTY NATION"
http://www.teapartynation.com/
Well, any legit organization clearly and OPENLY lists its leadership and organizational chart, board members, primary financial sponsors, etc.
I can't find one single name of "accountability". .. but it is one slick and very professional quality web site, isn't it?
The "National Tea Party Convention" website lists as its "sponsors" a mix of legit and equally "shadowy" entities . . . . but that was one high dollar event, wasn't it, kidz? . . . ;-)
"National Tea Party Convention"

Then, just stop and think for a minute . . . EVERY Main Stream Zio-Media outlet gave this event "A LIST" treatment . . . several carrying the Keynote speech by Sarah "Heil Israel" Palin in its entirety . . .
. . . not to mention the HOURS and HOURS of followup coverage and commentary. . .
Where was brother RON PAUL in all of this???
Do you think the Zio-Media would have given this event so much coverage if it was REALLY about the TEA PARTY MOVEMENT?
Perhaps that is the distinction that this ol' fool from North Cackilacki is missing here . . .
TEA PARTY MOVEMENT = U.S. Constitution, Rule of Law, Accurate U.S. History, and brother Ron Paul . ..
TEA BAGGERS = Useful Idiots being manipulated by a foreign power's 5th Column . . . and led by that Judas Goat Sarah "Heil Israel" Palin . . . ;-)
"Whatever the situation
Whatever the race or creed,
Tea knows no segregation,
No class nor pedigree
It knows no motivations,
No sect or organisation,
It knows no one religion,
Nor political belief.
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea,
Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja, Rosie Lea"
