Al Sharpton promised a “season of civil disobedience” in reaction to the nomination of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) for attorney general in the Trump administration.
Sharpton, an MSNBC host, said activists have planned a march in Washington on Jan. 14 during the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend to protest the Sessions nomination. Sharpton recalled spending 90 days in jail for protesting on U.S. Navy land against military exercises on the island of Vieques in 2001 when George W. Bush was president, adding that civil disobedience usually works because it changes policy.
“We’re not just doing this to be doing it. We do it because it can lead to change and, believe me, there will be a season of civil disobedience particularly around the Sessions nomination,” he said Friday on a conference call with other civil rights organizations’ leaders such as Cornell William Brooks, president and CEO of the NAACP, and Janet Murguia, president and CEO of the National Council of La Raza.

Arrest him for tax evasion case closed.
If this loser owes taxes that is rumored, U.S. should promise to hand out consequences swiftly. I find it sad and funny that people like Al think what they have to spew is important. They all should go back under the rock wench they came unless they can act like U.S. citizens.
He should be in jail for non payment of 3 million in taxes.
Being a puffed-up, race-baiting, tiny headline-grabbing sorry excuse for an African American is the only reason they keep you around, Al.
@sshat who's main objective is causing disruptive behavior.
He seems to be a very assessable individual IRS, so how much does he still owe on this taxes?
He should have been locked up years ago for inciting riots and tax evasion.
Thought he was going to Canada?
LOCK HIM UP ! Put him in jail along with the Clinton Bitch !
Time to pay them taxes
Race baiting hater.
I know. I still have people at work here that have not left for Canada yet! A little disappointing.
I would have no problem under a Trump Administration to drain the swamp on this guy and put him where he should be. After his considerable assets are confiscated for non payment of taxes.
11:43 Canada doesn't want that !@#$-hole.
Hope he chokes on a hotdog.
