As mentioned here, the Progressive Democrats of America and their fellow “Brownbaggers” have invited tea party activists to join them at Afghanistan war spending protests at noon today in front of congressional district offices around the country, including that of Rep. John Campbell (R-Newport Beach).
They'll apparently have some company, as MoveOn.org is sponsoring a “Throw Back Goldman Sachs Rally” at the same time and place, 610 Newport Center Dr., Newport Beach.
“We'll call on
Rep. Campbell to return any and all campaign contributions from Goldman
Sachs or any other Wall Street Ripoff Artist, we'll ask
him to investigate the revolving door between Goldman Sachs executives
and government positions, and to demand strong campaign finance and
ethics reforms so this never happens again,” states MoveOn's announcement.
MoveOn Councils around the country are
holding rallies in front of congressional offices “to hold
Goldman Sachs accountable for helping tank our economy.”
