(12,647 posts)There are hundreds of progressive groups involved in this protest. Nice try in your attempt to stymie our First Amendment rights. But it won't work. I look forward to hearing some of the speakers at this event.
A stellar group of whistleblowers, activists, researchers and others from both sides of the political spectrum will be speaking at this historic event. The list includes:
Congressman Justin Amash
Former Congressman Dennis Kucinich
Bruce Schneier, internationally renowned security technologist
Former senior NSA executive and whistleblower Thomas Drake
Indie pop senation YACHT
Former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson
Lt. Dan Choi, LGBT advocate and U.S. veteran
Laura Murphy, ACLU
Rainey Reitman, EFF
Craig Aaron, Free Press
Social critic Naomi Wolf
Kymone Freeman, Director of the National Black LUV Fest
Khaliah Barnes, EPIC
Shahid Buttar, Bill of Rights Defense Committee
I remember marching along side the anarchists in several anti-Iraq war protests during the Bush years. It doesn't mean I support their cause. It's dishonest to suggest we'll be controlled by Libertarians at this event. What do you think we are? Lemmings?
