"Americans
For Prosperity" Co-opts "Occupy" Name
Good grief.
WINDHAM --
We The People and Americans for Prosperity New Hampshire will host a rally on
Thursday to coincide with President Obama's appearance in the state to discuss
the economy. The event titled the "Occupy Jobs Now" Rally will take place at
Norton's Diner, 233 Main Street in Nashua at 5:30PM.
"We
The People is dedicated to preserving freedom, limited government and unlimited
opportunity in America. Barack Obama 's failed policies crush all three. We
must send a loud, clear message that NH rejects his "change" and
demands a return to fiscal sanity," stated Jennifer Horn, President of We The
People.
Of course
" Americans for Prosperity" was against the Occupy movement before
they decided to adopt its name:
Americans
for Prosperity Denounces Violent Rhetoric of Occupy Wall Street Protesters
Wall Street Protestors Seen Cheering for Violent Revolution
"Occupy
Wall Street protesters have a right to be heard. What should not be tolerated
however, is the disturbing emergence of violent rhetoric coming from their
members and supporters. Even more alarming is the fact that national labor
unions and politicians like Nancy Pelosi have offered support for the
protestors while turning a blind eye to their calls for violence and repeated
violations of the law," said AFP President Tim Phillips.

Occupy NH is not amused and plans to Occupy the fake Occupiers.
Facebook Event for today:
Stop the
Koch Brothers from Co-opting Occupy
Public Event - By Mark Provost, Matt Lawrence and 5 others
Today
5:00pm until 8:00pm
The 1% have stolen our future, now they want to steal the Occupy
name. Koch brother-funded Americans for Prosperity are hosting an 'Occupy Jobs'
event in Nashua this Thursday, after a visit by President Obama. This is not
partisan. The wealthiest and most corrupt people ...in the country are
deliberating hijacking the Occupy label.
We will not tolerate the 1% stealing the language of the 99%.
Time to crash their party and expose this fraud. Bring loud drums, whistles,
and banners. Be at Norton's Diner 233 Main St., Nashua 5:00pm.
The 6-14
inches of snow NH is currently getting may put a bit of a damper on the event
and counter-event, but it looks like we can expect "Americans for
Prosperity" - or should we call it, more accurately, A Few Americans
Seeking to Defend Their Disproportionate Financial Rewards? - will be seeking
to sow confusion this year.
