Over 1200 People Came to SDSU to March for $15 Edit


For the record, we had that debate, was it 1500 or 1200? The size of that crowd was impressive regardless.

“I believe that we will win… I believe that we will win in California. I believe that we will win around the U.S. and I believe that we will win all around the world.” Chant of the day.

April 15, 2015 (San Diego) Over 1200 people came to San Diego State after a full day of marches and protests. They joined workers in over 200 cities, who took to the streets to highlight the issue of a living wage and a right to form a union.

The crowd grew from fast food workers, to janitors, security officers, home health workers and university adjunct professors. It included their allies as well, for whom this is personal, since they see family members having to work two and three jobs to barely make it.

And no, I do not believe GD gives a **** or two about actual activism, or labor for that matter.

So if anybody else wants to cross post, go for it.

Wow. What language. I must have pissed her off with my video link of the rally.

Imagine 150, or 1500, or whatever, people 'chanting' that word salad- and half of those people are non-English speakers.

That works out to about 1.2 cents per person. They should have asked for more.

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

22. Right to vote is fundamental

as well as the end of the war on drugs, (which is toxic), and I think that is actually possible outside the political system, because I think people want that. Of course, Prison Corporation of America and the rest are not precisely in this line, and they require 90 percent bed occupancy... so there.

My list is long, but sadly, policy is trumped by a lot of other things. The first thing that has to absolutely go, with the war on drugs, is Citizens United. When we expect the Presidential to see about the annual budget of my county spent on it, sorry, this is a navel gazing exercise. It has none to do with parties, not at all.

Here you go for the 5 BILLION dollar figure. Common cause and others are floating a similar number.

I think we will be lucky if it is that low, given that this has started this early, which leads to the next essential reform if the oligarchy is going to come to an end. Campaigns have to be be shortened to 6 months, preferably four and yes, that will require an amendment somewhere. As I said, navel watching exercise. Why I mostly do not cover elections, beyond the who's won and who's lost.

I cannot educate people against that money tsunami... but oligarchies have that problem.

And more and more I am starting to agree with activists that all this is a navel gazing exercise... but hey, I watch this closely, and not as a partisan.
