SEIU Rips Sen. John McCain

Pentagon City, VA - On July 17, 2008, about 200 activists of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) rallied in front of Sen. John McCain's presidential h/q in this town, which is just south of Washington, DC. With songs, dancing and music, and under a banner entitled, "The Loophole King," the protesters staged a lively event. Their action was directed at McCain's connections to the "Buy-Out King Baron, Henry Kravis." The SEIU charged that Kravis is raising mega millions of dollars for McCain's campaign, while the Arizona Senator supports "protecting tax loopholes" which enrich Kravis and his fat cat cronies. Speaking at the event were SEIU activists Ms. Inger Skippings and Stephen Learner. For background, please see: http://www.seiu.org and http://behindthebuyouts.org and http://July17.org. July 17th is a global day of action on the issues raised by the SEIU at the Pentagon City-based action. Andy Stern is the International President of the SEIU.

"Loophole king." That is a mild statement. This demonstration's words were too kind.  After what this nation has been through with the Bush administration speak out, PLEASE! For once I would like to see them call a spade a spade before hand. Come on pull out all their dirty rags! That goes for anyone running for president. We need to take back America!
