The Million Worker March scheduled for October 17 2004 in Washington DC is bringing a lot of interesting characters, Kerry supporters, together.
Included in the "Demands" are:
**Guaranteed pensions that sustain a decent life for all working people
**Funding a vast army of teachers to end functional illiteracy in America and unleash the talent and potential of our abandoned children and adults.
**Progressive taxation that increases taxation on corporations and the rich while providing relief for the working class and poor.
**Creating efficient, modern and free mass transit in every city and town
**Amnesty for all undocumented workers
**Open the books on the secret budgets of the Pentagon and the intelligence agencies in the service of corporations and banks and the pursuit of imperial war on the poor everywhere.

Oddly enough the "About Us" section of their website is "coming soon", but the anti-American rhetoric is plentiful, and it looks like this is part of Ramsey Clark's International Action Center whose platform is Information, Activism, and Resistance to U.S. Militarism, War, and Corporate Greed, Linking with Struggles Against Racism and Oppression within the United States.
Why is this important you might ask? The dots are starting to connect.
Teresa Heinz-Kerry's Tide's Foundation has grant money that has flowed to Clark's IAC - IAC is part of the socialist movement supporting (sponsoring?) the upcoming Million Worker March.
Why is it that people don't catch on when language like "worker" is thrown about - "proletariat" was Marx's definition of "the lower social class". What is it going to take to make people wake up??
The article first linked here notes about Heinz-Kerry's Tides Foundation: Most disturbing is the link to Ramsey Clark’s International Action Center, which has supported Slobodan Milosevic and North Korean strongman Kim Jong-Il. The IAC is the force behind International ANSWER, which sponsored the major antiwar (and anti-Bush) rallies before the invasion of Iraq. When ANSWER was outed as a Communist organization, United for Peace and Justice, headed by longtime Communist Party member Leslie Cagan was created as a "moderate" alternative. UFPJ is also a Tides grant recipient.The Tides-funded “A Better Way Project,” which opposed war in Iraq, also coordinated efforts of United for Peace and Justice and the Win Without War Coalition. The celebrity-laden Win Without War Coalition, along with the Bill Moyers-funded Florence and John Schumann Foundation, ran full-page ads in the New York Times opposing the War on Terrorism. This will not be the last overlapping of far-Left causes.
Pay attention class!!! The truth about John Kerry and his wife is just below the surface. One only need scratch a little to lay it all bare.
