Teabaggers to attack teachers.

Tea Party activists plan to protest next week’s House vote on a $26 billion state aid package at district offices around the country.

The activists are upset over $10 billion in the package for a fund to stop teacher layoffs.


Fiscal conservatives also are fired up over reports that the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) pushed Pelosi to call the House back for the vote. The union warned Pelosi that states would be forced to lay off thousands of teachers if Congress doesn’t approve the money by the end of August.

Protests are planned in at least a dozen states, and Tea Party activists are set to show up at Congressional offices Saturday through Monday, according to conservative activists familiar with their plans.

Demonstrations will occur at the offices of Democrats’ facing tough re-election races, including Reps. Betsy Markey (Colo.), Dina Titus (Nev.), Martin Heinrich (N.M.), Earl Pomeroy (N.D.), John Spratt (S.C.) and Rick Boucher (Va.), according to a planning paper circulating among conservative groups.

1. Why is this miniscule portion of the entire population
making headlines and driving news? Could it be they're driven by fear? Fear instilled by the overlords of the mainstream media?

14. They don't. They're just the excuse.
They simply stand for everything Rs and Ds and the media want, so they focus on them as if they're forcing the issues.

15. could it be that they're driven by rich fat white guys that
are gonna die and just hate the thought of the average person being educated?

A long time ago, in this country, people actually were proud that we had the best education system in the world, that we led the entire planet in science and mathmatics. That our colleges were affordable and worth going to.

Now, not so much.

End of fable.

2. Their spelling and grammar skills have certainly insulted teachers
Hell, teachers read their protest signs and weep.

It'll be another "hugh" victory for the Teabaggers against "morans".

4. If you think education is expensive,
try ignorance.
Ignorance is the only thing that validates the Tea Party in the first place.
A good reason for them to kick and scream to keep teachers out of work.

8. The better question is where is that corporate sponsor for the coffee party
Without a lot of financial backing, the voices opposing the tea party and supporting our teachers cannot be heard.
