Jobless Americans should unite for a national March For Jobs

It started as a call for unification of the millions of 99ers, the soon-to-be 99ers, the long-term unemployed, and the jobless of America. The message has been passed around from blog to blog and article to article and the day has nearly arrived for the National March For Jobs, which was set for Saturday, April 2, 2011. With the understanding that there are millions who fit the unemployed description and that those same people, although willing, cannot make a cross-country sojourn to Washington, D. C., the April 2 March For Jobs was loosely designed around the idea of demonstrations and rallies to be held at local government offices and state capitals as well as on Capitol Hill.

13 months ago: Although the call to action's push to show support for HR589 ends on March 29, it should be noted that contacting legislators in support of the measure or of the 99ers in general can be carried out afterward. It is still uncertain when the actual meeting of Democrats and Republicans will take place, or even if anything positive will be accomplished during their meeting.

But there is hope...


13 months ago: You must have missed the very first posting of this "April March" which occured here on rantrave. No? Do you need that link? Old news. Old non-event news. Old, old, old.

What is the expected numbers of marchers that a too stupid as to pick a date when the final four is playing? Where are they marching? Where can I see the video?

Grassroots or crabgrassroots?

13 months ago: Evy how did it go?
It looks like the same old dithering in Government for the long termed unemployed. I don't believe that Sheila Jackson Lee with all her hope to help will sell this to the Republicans. There are other issues the Republicans are attacking such as Medicare, Social Security. When these critiques find that their parents are being denied their rightful benefits, then they might stop living in a "Bubble" and face reality. I received this email this morning:

Tell Congress to Create Jobs Now!

Are you shocked that Republicans want to replace guaranteed Medicare healthcare with "vouchers" that could be slashed in an instant?
Do you think we can easily fix national and state budget problems by taxing big corporations and billionaires - and ending our endless wars?
If so, here are important things you can do right now:

13 months ago: By all means please do. Being that your the better author and know what you would like to read or see in a posting yourself and your the more exsperienced one in posting since my knowledge has not grown yet in learning all there is to know in being a great author as you are. It takes me a little more time than two months to learn the ropes. However, thanks for your questions and suggestions and I will be looking forward in reading Ninety Whiners March 4 Gobs a Final Slam Dunk. Very creative and touching title.
13 months ago: I'll be sure to post it along with all of the media links and the youtubes of those 10 people that March on Saturday.

13 months ago: That will be great and thanks for your support and I will surely be looking forward for all your post, media links and youtubes. So with you supporting us and making this information available, that makes your count 11. Thanks again, and may god bless you!!
13 months ago: Sorry, but I think supporting you for 99 weeks is enough of a burden.

How about you list the rally points in the major cities. I'm sure the media will need to know where to find your corner kool-aid stand.

13 months ago: well until you have walked in our shoes, you shouldn't throw stones at glass houses. I think contacting the media would be the wiser choice to contact than listing them and what you think grape would probably be a big hit. Thanks your such a helpful guy geez! would'nt know what to do without such one person having all that knowledge. You just might get noticed one of these days, So what do you wanna be when you grow up a writer, teacher? I think you might do well.

Overcoming Harsh Judgments and Fault Finding:

The censorious judge is one who is addicted to fault finding.

He/she needs to find these faults because he/she needs to perpetuate his/her seeming guilt free life.

He/she wants to find these faults because he/she needs to justify his/her own sinful choices.

He/she desires to find the faults because he/she wants to build himself up by tearing down others.

He/she must find these faults because his/her heart is corrupted by envy and hatred.

Well, woman have been a mystery throughout, but what they don't know we do. That ace we hold in our hand that they will never have makes them stupid. They never will understand us. Always a battle. It is so obvious. Sunny
13 months ago: He/She asks...is today April 2nd? Where is your march listed in the news?

He/She says again...turn off your computer if you don't know how to use it and find a job digging ditches in the hot sun. Over paid on the job training in air conditioned space has long since passed.

Please send me an update (with a link) when you find a major news story showing how millions, thousands or even hundreds of people marched on closed government offices to whine.
13 months ago: Hell Oh?
13 months ago: Sorry... Did I blink in the last few hours and miss the news headline?
Please post a link. I want to read how 6 people tried to picket a double door entry on a closed government building.

I need a good laugh. I mean a better laugh.

13 months ago: All you do is laugh. Don't you have something to say worthwhile. You never put your thoughts down and show where you stand.
Maybe you should dig ditches in the hot sun, or maybe those you know should. You are so cynical. Where is your loyalty to the people. You live in a Bubble you are not recognizing your fellow American or the anxiety that people have. You think that is joke? These are the same people that have kept this World growing and you criticize them. Where is the hero in you? Where is your heart? I can see the parents of those who are out of work trying to help their kids get through when Gov. cuts off their benefits. Imagine people saying dig ditches and people are in their 70's and 80's. This is not a fair place to live anymore. Americans have gotten too greedy to think about others who need help.
