Iowa City Iowa mic check

Mic check! Mic Check!
Mr. Gingrich, we are here to protest your speech today, because we
object to your callous and arrogant attitude towards poverty and poor
people.
We are insulted by your disregard for the poor and the conditions and
lead to poverty in this country. We cannot forget your 1990s
proposition that welfare benefits to children of unwed mothers be
denied.
We cannot forget your continued vilification of poor people as
shiftless, lazy, and unwilling to work. Nor can we ignore the fact
that your unfair and untrue characterization of the poor is aimed at
black and brown people in this country.
We cannot forgive your advocacy of a laughably low minimum wage, your
disgusting suggestions that we bring back child labor, and your
sickening, moralistic appeals to the "dignity of work" for the poor
while you, Mr. Gingrich, refuse to work and instead support yourself
through some of the most unethical and underhanded fundraising schemes
known to modern politics.
When we compare your statements to what we know about poverty in our
own lives, we are outraged. And our anger is such that we almost
forgot to mention your rabid authoritarianism regarding drug laws,
your homophobic and ironic support for marriage inequality, your
denial of the ethnicity of Palestinians, your denial of climate
change, and your support for the pharmaceutical companies.
You do not stand with the people, Newt Gingrich. And we won't stand
for you.

  • Remember this: Gingrich is a minion.

    He should be shouted down as often as possible.
