Big WalMart protest today in KC
Saw it on local news. I have searched but can't find a link. darn

WalMart managers are in KC for a convention this weekend. There was a big protest today in front of the hotel where WalMart is meeting. The protesters wore hazmat suits! LOL I really wanted to find a link to post a picture. They looked great on TV!! And there was a LARGE group of protesters.

I will post a link if and when local media puts the story online.

10. all kidding aside
I know we'll see more protests in the near future and I intend to march in the ones for Peace... I mean what was wrong with 8 years of peace and prosperity under Clinton? The tramp probably just kept begging him to let her slurp it up... Clinton could have done ALOT better. Still I say if it was okay by Hillary, who elses busniess is it?

12. the news media covers over things like this fast...
The only place I hear about protests where I live in the babble-belt of propaganda is here at DU, after they are over. You'll never find info on the event proud but keep looking sometimes repukes try to spin a protest rally to their ends.

17. sounds like my kind of place
I especially like the "where were you?" I want to see more protests and hopefully take part in some of them... I've put up boards at DU on the topic but all i see is chicken crap excuses and reasons why we shouldn't protest on mine.
