Congressman-Elect Alan Grayson Shows Up At Florida Wal-Mart To Support Strikers

In Orlando, Congressman-elect Alan Grayson joined the strikers. Here’s a photo of him walking Lisa Lopez off the job tonight (thanks to United for Respect at Walmart for the photo):

1. Those who walk out need to have access to jobs.
Or at least unemployment.
Any way people here have small companies that can employ them? I hope so.
I doubt small companies will hire people who will walk off the job because they are all butt hurt over something stupid.

3. Good for Grayson! I'll be joining strikers in L.A. in the morning.
There are at least 3 major actions in L.A. tomorrow, and the one I'm going to has 182 L.A. Occupiers signed up to join
Did he post a follow up to that where he joined the strikers?

11. Love this dude!
Since he lost in 2010 I've been listening to him as regular guest on the Stephanie Miller Show! I knew he'd be voted back in as he really cares about the people he serves!
He wouldn't piss on any of you if you were on fire unless he could turn it into some kind of photo op.

13. And this is why I sent money to this man
He is a Wellstone populist. If we could only get 100 more, this nation and even this world would benefit.
Lord help us if we had 100 of this sleazeball.

23. Yes, this is a Democrat with courage. He doesn't worry about
'what will it look like if I do this'. He is a true leader, hopefully others will follow.
Yeah takes real courage to take a photo so one's adoring fans can jerk off to it.
Seriously though what courageous person has ever gone around telling everyone how courageous he is? Truly courageous people don't use courage as a sig line.

24. I don't mean to rain on the parade
But am I the only one who thinks this is one of the reasons American Corperations export jobs overseas? If you have a job, freaking keep it until you have another one lined up! I have a couple of relatives who have worked at Walmart for a few years and they are doing better than me. IDK... grill me I guess.
Gee you think? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that businesses would be better off moving to where their employees will actually do their freaking job. My God, you idiots created this culture of laziness then bitch when the jobs go overseas.
