They want a big rally for DC – and to help ensure the grounds aren’t empty, they are giving away tens of thousands of free rides…kinda says it all about liberalism, doesn’t it? From Big Government:
On October 2nd, the NAACP and national labor unions will give tens of thousands of people free bus rides, free lunches, free T-shirts and free Metro farecards as inducements to attend the One Nation Working Together rally being organized by a coalition of radical leftist organizations at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has promised to give free bus rides from major metropolitan areas within twelve hours of D.C. The United Steelworkers are also busing in demonstrators from across the Northeast. Even the Screen Actors Guild is ‘getting on the bus.’
Local NAACP chapters on the East coast are also offering free buses, as are the Communication Workers of America.
Rally co-sponsor the AFL-CIO states, “Unions are sponsoring some 1,400 buses from around the country to come to the march.”
At an average of an estimated 50 passengers per bus, that comes to about 70,000 attendees getting free rides to the rally.
They are doing this because they have to – unless you do it for a liberal, most times he won’t do it. Don’t you realize how hard it is to get a bus ticket and plan a trip all one your lonesome? There is not among the left that spirit of volunteerism there is among the right. Partially this is because of liberal servility – they always wait for orders and couldn’t imagine deciding to do something on their own – while another part of it stems from simple lack of enthusiasm.
This rally will, of course, be massively covered by the MSM and the crowd estimates will run towards 500,000, at least. But it won’t really be anything. No event which takes this much organizational prep work is other than a propaganda ploy. They’ll get their positive news cycle, and that will be the end of it.
