According to the One Nation Working Together site, “more than 400 organizations, representing tens of thousands of individuals who have endorsed the One Nation Working Together campaign” have signed on as partners for the Oct. 2 rally in Washington, D.C.
This movement includes human and civil rights organizations, unions and trade associations, nonprofit organizations, youth and student groups, religious and other faith groups, educational, peace, environmental, and ethnic associations, and any other groups and individuals who are committed to pulling our country back together now.
President Barack Obama’s own Organizing for America has praised the effort, calling it the “biggest progressive demonstration in decades.” The list of organizations offering their official endorsements for Saturday’s “One Nation” rally reads like a who’s who of the far-left in America, including some usual suspects:
American Federation of Teachers
SEIU: Service Employees International Union
Campaign for Peace and Democracy
Chicago Democratic Socialists of America
Democratic Socialists of America
Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN)
International Socialist Organization
National Education Association

Posted on September 28, 2010 at 11:32pm@ Tranquilrider:
It looked more like a statement than a debate to me. I believe that is called freedom of speech. Your one line retort added nothing substantive to the conversation.
I believe this rally will shed a lot of light on the people pulling the strings. They have the freedom of speech and I am eager to hear what is going to be said. The Progressives have infested our government and have been implementing their plan of indoctrination for longer than you have been breathing, sir. Do you honestly believe the propaganda being saturated throughout our society?
I believe our generation is going to be witness to things unimaginable. Be awake and pay attention to the signs of the times. The trumpets have been sounding for some time.

Yes, I agree. I think it is absolutely wonderful that these people are having this rally. It is about time to see them with their masks off. Finally some exposure. Let freedom of speech prevail! .. let the truth prevail!
I believe the backlash from this may indeed lead to the sealing of their fate.

There are plenty of socialist nations to which they could move, and they wouldn’t have to change a thing. Me, I prefer our constituional republic.

Posted on September 28, 2010 at 6:55pmWho is sponsoring this rally needs to be publicized everywhere. Not only that but remember the Nancy Pelosi comments on the Tea Party being Astroturf. My wife and I attended the 8/28 rally and I haven’t gotten my reimbursement check from the big corporations that the media claim sent us there. It really needs to be put out there that a great number of those attending the 10/2 rally are getting free bus rides, free T shirts, free food, and free Metro passes from these radical organizations.
Union Members do you really want to be associated with Communists, Marxist and Socialists? Your leaders do. Check out these organizations and see what they are really all about. It’s easy just click the links.

Have you heard of the Koch Brothers and Americans for Prosperity? You may want to read this: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/08/30/100830fa_fact_mayer. It provides info on the Koch’s past “grassroots organizations” and their past shady dealings. I found the information about the Citizens for a Sound Economy to be interesting and their tactics to gain following similar to what they use on Tea Party folks. You may know Citizens better as Freedom Works, who received over $6 million from the Koch Brothers: http://mediamattersaction.org/transparency/organization/FreedomWorks/funders.
Here‘s a list of David Koch’s donations:

Posted on September 29, 2010 at 11:21amAs I have read and looked, I have come to this conclusion. That the masses who support this are totally ignorant of truth. They live on the propaganda they are fed by these groups. Many of them are mush-headed young people who listen to progressive, socialist communist professors. If any of these groups who go out to take up for those who run these types of organizations think they will have any place in the government will be an elitist they are so wrong. They just might be the first to go to internment camps. They look to be a bunch of rowdy, eager for confrontation types who think they will have it easy once their dictator is put in office. How many of the demonstrators are paid to be out there doing the organizations dirty work for them? They are one scary bunch. Do we have enough good, honest, straight thinking, God fearing people to overcome this bunch of ignorant masses. How did our nation get to be such a mess? We slept. Thank you Glen Beck for awakening us. Personally I think they will rally big time. I hope I am wrong. I just hope they act like the radicals they are. May their true colors show. Obama has made them brave and hopeful for their communist ways.

I can’t speak for Mr. Beck but if you would stop listening to the Huffington Post or whatever far left news source that you get your info from and actually watch Glenn Beck. You would know when he used that speech he was using it as an example that we must speak up for everyone’s rights not just the ppl we agree with. He was not using the speech to compare nazis with progressives. However you saying this must have rang true and hit a nerve

Posted on September 28, 2010 at 6:42pmIt would be interesting to hear from a few of the hard-working, dues paying, actual union members that are funding this little getaway. Several members I know do not agree with their union administrators on policies they advocate for and are very concerned that their dues are being used to fund so much political activity and high salaries to administrators and lawyers, all while their pensions and benefits are being destroyed and their jobs are rapidly moving overseas. Additionally, many of the “activists” they use for protests and events of this nature are paid participants and not union members – salaries of which are also coming out of their dues payments. I’ve got a few friends that had the courage to take a stand and quit their union jobs and were willing to take pay cuts and make sacrifices, but others cannot afford to do so. I pray that union members are able to start their own “grass roots” movement and take back their organizations from the people that ultimately are not looking out for the best interest of the American worker or their employers, or better still – vote the unions out.

2) If turn out is light, the MSM will selectively crop their video and stills to make it look like there were more people than there were and use the claimed attendance of the organizers as an accurate attendance figure.
3) Under no circumstances will the MSM show the “diversity” of the attendees. You will NOT see in any of the coverage the anti-semitic, racist and anti-American signs and t-shirts worn by many of the attendees.
4) Reports of violence and arrests will be suppressed, and if cornered the media will claim that the violence was not relevant.

Posted on September 29, 2010 at 8:42am>>>>>READ THIS! Everyone must understand what these people believe. Forget all the rumors. Here is the actual truth of what they believe. What is at the core of their being.<<<<<
Here is the actual manifesto that started it all. It comes from a guy in the 1860's who was the sole inspiration to both Mrx and Lenin.
The Revolutionary Catechism by Sergey Genadievich Nechayev
The Duties of the Revolutionary toward Himself
1. The revolutionary is a doomed man. He has no personal interests, no business affairs, no emotions, no attachments, no property, and no name. Everything in him is wholly absorbed in the single thought and the single passion for revolution.
2. The revolutionary knows that in the very depths of his being, not only in words but also in deeds, he has broken all the bonds which tie him to the social order and the civilized world with all its laws, moralities, and customs, and with all its generally accepted conventions. He is their implacable enemy, and if he continues to live with them it is only in order to destroy them more speedily.
3. The revolutionary despises all doctrines and refuses to accept the mundane sciences, leaving them for future generations. He knows only one science: the science of destruction. For this reason, but only for this reason, he will study mechanics, physics, chemistry, and perhaps medicine. But all day and all night he studies the vital science of human beings, their characteristics and circumstances, and all the phenomena of the present social order. The object is perpetually the same: the surest and quickest way of destroying the whole filthy order.
4. The revolutionary despises public opinion. He despises and hates the existing social morality in all its manifestations. For him, morality is everything which contributes to the triumph of the revolution. Immoral and criminal is everything that stands in its way.
5. The revolutionary is a dedicated man, merciless toward the State and toward the educated classes; and he can expect no mercy from them. Between him and them there exists, declared or concealed, a relentless and irreconcilable war to the death. He must accustom himself to torture.
6. Tyrannical toward himself, he must be tyrannical toward others. All the gentle and enervating sentiments of kinship, love, friendship, gratitude, and even honor, must be suppressed in him and give place to the cold and single-minded passion for revolution. For him, there exists only one pleasure, on consolation, one reward, one satisfaction – the success of the revolution. Night and day he must have but one thought, one aim – merciless destruction. Striving cold-bloodedly and indefatigably toward this end, he must be prepared to destroy himself and to destroy with his own hands everything that stands in the path of the revolution.
7. The nature of the true revolutionary excludes all sentimentality, romanticism, infatuation, and exaltation. All private hatred and revenge must also be excluded. Revolutionary passion, practiced at every moment of the day until it becomes a habit, is to be employed with cold calculation. At all times, and in all places, the revolutionary must obey not his personal impulses, but only those which serve the cause of the revolution.
The Relations of the Revolutionary toward his Comrades
8. The revolutionary can have no friendship or attachment, except for those who have proved by their actions that they, like him, are dedicated to revolution. The degree of friendship, devotion and obligation toward such a comrade is determined solely by the degree of his usefulness to the cause of total revolutionary destruction.
9. It is superfluous to speak of solidarity among revolutionaries. The whole strength of revolutionary work lies in this. Comrades who possess the same revolutionary passion and understanding should, as much as possible, deliberate all important matters together and come to unanimous conclusions. When the plan is finally decided upon, then the revolutionary must rely solely on himself. In carrying out acts of destruction, each one should act alone, never running to another for advice and assistance, except when these are necessary for the furtherance of the plan.
10. All revolutionaries should have under them second- or third-degree revolutionaries – i.e., comrades who are not completely initiated. these should be regarded as part of the common revolutionary capital placed at his disposal. This capital should, of course, be spent as economically as possible in order to derive from it the greatest possible profit. The real revolutionary should regard himself as capital consecrated to the triumph of the revolution; however, he may not personally and alone dispose of that capital without the unanimous consent of the fully initiated comrades.
11. When a comrade is in danger and the question arises whether he should be saved or not saved, the decision must not be arrived at on the basis of sentiment, but solely in the interests of the revolutionary cause. Therefore, it is necessary to weigh carefully the usefulness of the comrade against the expenditure of revolutionary forces necessary to save him, and the decision must be made accordingly.
The Relations of the Revolutionary toward Society
12. The new member, having given proof of his loyalty not by words but by deeds, can be received into the society only by the unanimous agreement of all the members.
13. The revolutionary enters the world of the State, of the privileged classes, of the so-called civilization, and he lives in this world only for the purpose of bringing about its speedy and total destruction. He is not a revolutionary if he has any sympathy for this world. He should not hesitate to destroy any position, any place, or any man in this world. He must hate everyone and everything in it with an equal hatred. All the worse for him if he has any relations with parents, friends, or lovers; he is no longer a revolutionary if he is swayed by these relationships.
14. Aiming at implacable revolution, the revolutionary may and frequently must live within society will pretending to be completely different from what he really is, for he must penetrate everywhere, into all the higher and middle-classes, into the houses of commerce, the churches, and the palaces of the aristocracy, and into the worlds of the bureaucracy and literature and the military, and also into the Third Division and the Winter Palace of the Czar.
15. This filthy social order can be split up into several categories. The first category comprises those who must be condemned to death without delay. Comrades should compile a list of those to be condemned according to the relative gravity of their crimes; and the executions should be carried out according to the prepared order.
16. When a list of those who are condemned is made, and the order of execution is prepared, no private sense of outrage should be considered, nor is it necessary to pay attention to the hatred provoked by these people among the comrades or the people. Hatred and the sense of outrage may even be useful insofar as they incite the masses to revolt. It is necessary to be guided only by the relative usefulness of these executions for the sake of revolution. Above all, those who are especially inimical to the revolutionary organization must be destroyed; their violent and sudden deaths will produce the utmost panic in the government, depriving it of its will to action by removing the cleverest and most energetic supporters.
17. The second group comprises those who will be spared for the time being in order that, by a series of monstrous acts, they may drive the people into inevitable revolt.
18. The third category consists of a great many brutes in high positions, distinguished neither by their cleverness nor their energy, while enjoying riches, influence, power, and high positions by virtue of their rank. These must be exploited in every possible way; they must be implicated and embroiled in our affairs, their dirty secrets must be ferreted out, and they must be transformed into slaves. Their power, influence, and connections, their wealth and their energy, will form an inexhaustible treasure and a precious help in all our undertakings.
19. The fourth category comprises ambitious office-holders and liberals of various shades of opinion. The revolutionary must pretend to collaborate with them, blindly following them, while at the same time, prying out their secrets until they are completely in his power. They must be so compromised that there is no way out for them, and then they can be used to create disorder in the State.
20. The fifth category consists of those doctrinaires, conspirators, and revolutionists who cut a great figure on paper or in their cliques. They must be constantly driven on to make compromising declarations: as a result, the majority of them will be destroyed, while a minority will become genuine revolutionaries.
21. The sixth category is especially important: women. They can be divided into three main groups. First, those frivolous, thoughtless, and vapid women, whom we shall use as we use the third and fourth category of men. Second, women who are ardent, capable, and devoted, but whom do not belong to us because they have not yet achieved a passionless and austere revolutionary understanding; these must be used like the men of the fifth category. Finally, there are the women who are completely on our side – i.e., those who are wholly dedicated and who have accepted our program in its entirety. We should regard these women as the most valuable or our treasures; without their help, we would never succeed.
The Attitude of the Society toward the People
22. The Society has no aim other than the complete liberation and happiness of the masses – i.e., of the people who live by manual labor. Convinced that their emancipation and the achievement of this happiness can only come about as a result of an all-destroying popular revolt, the Society will use all its resources and energy toward increasing and intensifying the evils and miseries of the people until at last their patience is exhausted and they are driven to a general uprising.
23. By a revolution, the Society does not mean an orderly revolt according to the classic western model – a revolt which always stops short of attacking the rights of property and the traditional social systems of so-called civilization and morality. Until now, such a revolution has always limited itself to the overthrow of one political form in order to replace it by another, thereby attempting to bring about a so-called revolutionary state. The only form of revolution beneficial to the people is one which destroys the entire State to the roots and exterminated all the state traditions, institutions, and classes in Russia.
24. With this end in view, the Society therefore refuses to impose any new organization from above. Any future organization will doubtless work its way through the movement and life of the people; but this is a matter for future generations to decide. Our task is terrible, total, universal, and merciless destruction.
25. Therefore, in drawing closer to the people, we must above all make common cause with those elements of the masses which, since the foundation of the state of Muscovy, have never ceased to protest, not only in words but in deeds, against everything directly or indirectly connected with the state: against the nobility, the bureaucracy, the clergy, the traders, and the parasitic kulaks. We must unite with the adventurous tribes of brigands, who are the only genuine revolutionaries in Russia.
26. To weld the people into one single unconquerable and all-destructive force – this is our aim, our conspiracy, and our task.

Posted on September 29, 2010 at 10:13am@donbcg. Would there be any traction in prosecuting any of these people for treason? In my mind, it should be fairly easy using their own words and statements along with their actions as far as getting involved in the government or ‘establishment’ to the ends of overthrowing the current government and destroying the rule of law under our country’s Constitution.
People-organization is needed here. We can’t just sit back and read and comment on here anymore-It’s time to do something about it…The Constitution set aside the power of the people to form militias-and while I am not suggesting armed violence in any way-I am talking about getting organized and watching these people and preparing for their next move. According to history-they will come for you and your property by force…you owning property is part of the ‘establishment’.

.
2nd October, 1933: President Roosevelt has asked the NRA to reduce codal hours to 30 to increase the number of jobs available and share the work and the wages more evenly.
2nd October, 1949: 500,000 CIO Steel workers have closed down the nations foundries, steel and Iron mills demanding pensions and better working conditions and wages, they now join the 400,000 coal miners on strike bringing the total on strike to nearly one million workers.
2nd October, 1971: Strikes By Miners and longshoremen cause docks and mines to close throughout the US with 140,000 on strike
2nd October, 1974 : A new study has shown that the use of marijuana long term can kill human brain cells and causing personality disorders.
2nd October, 1985: In London and Liverpool gangs of black youths are continuing to fight with local police forces and rioting in areas where racial tension is at it’s worst. The youths are making gasoline bombs which they are then using to firebomb shops in these areas.
2nd October, 1993: Hard Line Pro Communist demonstrators fought running battles with security forces loyal to President Boris Yeltsin in Moscow. Many of the old style communists are unhappy with Yeltsin and his free market reforms .
Just curious as to which event in history will be honored at the One Nation event. Seems like there are several that might have relevance!

Posted on October 2, 2010 at 2:52pmIf you think the One Nation Rally is a “hating God campaign,” you’re even more delusional than I could have imagined.
Large Christian groups are actually a part of this rally.
I personally am a Southern Baptist, and am apalled at your lack of judgement.
I’m also apalled that Mr. Beck, who just a few weeks ago talked about “Restoring Honor,” would resort to name-calling, calling this a “FAR left” event. I’m probably as conservative as any of you are, in the places that it counts.
Everyday working Americans who are hourly-wage union workers ARE NOT FAR LEFT EXTREMISTS.
The SEIU does not represent FAR LEFT EXTREMISTS… they represent everyday JANITORS!
The NAACP is not a FAR LEFT EXTREMIST group… unless you consider all black people ‘extremists’… and that’s between you and God to work out.
It’s not Socialism to stand up for your rights as an American.
It’s not Communism to stand in the way of Republicans who support moving American jobs to Communist China.
In fact, when it comes to God, the Republican Party could learn a little better how to take care of “the least of these.”
6 This is what the LORD says:
“For three sins of Israel,
even for four, I will not turn back {my wrath}.
They sell the righteous for silver,
and the needy for a pair of sandals.
7 They trample on the heads of the poor
as upon the dust of the ground
and deny justice to the oppressed.

“Large Christian groups are actually a part of this rally.”
These large Christian Groups you speak of, are they pastored by socialists like Wallace? Hmmm… maybe.
“I’m also appalled that Mr. Beck… would resort to name-calling, calling this a “FAR left” event.”
As for it being called a “Far Left Event,” you really need to read the list of sponsors more closely. Obama himself is quoted as praising it as a great progressive gathering.
“Everyday working Americans who are hourly-wage union workers ARE NOT FAR LEFT EXTREMISTS.”
Beck’s targets are almost exclusively the union HEADS and REPS. He is constantly making it clear that he’s NOT talking about the members.
“The NAACP is not a FAR LEFT EXTREMIST group…”
When has he called them one?
“It’s not Socialism to stand up for your rights as an American.”
It is when you’re claiming a right to a free ride and cradle-to-grave hand-holding. Besides, that “standing up for your rights as an American” statement is just rhetoric. It’s like Scotch-guarding a dog turd and trying to sell it as an air-freshener. These people are not standing up for their “rights as Americans.” They’re standing up for their demands as western European socialists, who, btw, are trying to roll back their OWN socialism because it’s destroying them.
“It’s not Communism to stand in the way of Republicans who support moving American jobs to Communist China.”
First, the premise of that statement is false. You are lying, sir. Republicans didn’t destroy the magnificent automobile capital that was Detroit. Unions did… by demanding to be paid far more than the value of their production. $75 per hour for $25-$35 worth of production PLUS pensions. It’s funny, and telling, how you are so blatantly IGNORANT of the fact that – NOW that an auto union holds such a high stake in the actual productivity and solvency of the automobile manufacturer they own so much of – they are drastically cutting back on union benefits.
And, why are they doing that? Simple. Those benefits are killing the company. Now, yes, it’s true… they normally don’t care about such things. However, they now stand to lose a great deal if it goes under. Welcome to reality. Welcome to the world of responsibility and consequences!
As for your Old Testament biblical quotes, I caution you against using God as a tool to grow government. It’s not nor has it EVER been the responsibility of GOVERNMENT to fund the poor. Its job is to secure and maintain an environment where everyone has the right to life, liberty and the PURSUTE of happiness, such as:
1. Providing a means of good education, not tenure and benefits for ineffective or poorly qualified teachers. Throwing money at the problem has done nothing but fail.
2. Staying out of people’s way as much as possible. You can’t micromanage entreprenuership, nor can you dictate innovation and invention.
3. Encouraging prosperity even further via lower or eliminated taxes FOR ALL – property taxes, estate taxes, inheritance taxes, DEATH taxes, income taxes, etc., etc. etc.
4. Keeping government limited to the smallest possible size necessary for the maintainence of it’s basic duties.
5. Guarding against the creation of a welfare state, which enslaves people to the public dole and encourages complacency, laziness, and dependency. A welfare state quenches a human being’s spirit and ambition, neutralizes their desire to better themselves or their lives, crushes their hopes to provide better lives for their children, and destroys their families.
I could keep adding to this list, but I think – no, I HOPE – you get the gist of what I’m saying.
Those who cannot make it on their own can be helped. Family, friends, neighbors, charitable organizations, etc…. THESE are the best means of helping “our fellow man.”
Americans are the most charitable people on earth. We gave $2 BILLION to tsunami victims while our govt. gave about $800 million. WE THE PEOPLE gave more than any government or people on the PLANET. What makes you think we won’t help our OWN COUNTRYMEN?
