PBO & Michelle visit with Immigration Protestors in D.C. Tent~Solidarity~ Si se Puede

4. An Activist White House

Snip:

On November 12, faith, immigrant rights and labor leaders announced the launch of “Fast for Families: A Call for Immigration Reform and Citizenship,” taking place on the National Mall, steps away from the Capitol. Leaders and immigrant members of the community will fast every day and night, abstaining from all food—except water—to move the hearts and compassion of members of Congress to pass immigration reform with a path to citizenship.

I watched as union, faith and civil rights leaders visited these fasters in a show of solidarity. And then something interesting started happening.

Gawd, I LOVE this President!!!!! Think about the last time we saw a POTUS provide this kind of support for an activist movement. I'll give you a hint...never.
