WASHINGTON (AP) — Thousands of people led by the Rev. Al Sharpton rallied Saturday near the Washington Monument, where speakers called for easier job access and decried the gulf between rich and poor before the crowd marched to the new Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial.
The rally was intended to drum up support for President Barack Obama's jobs plan, which died Tuesday in the U.S. Senate. But speakers used the platform for varied causes, including condemning state laws requiring voter identification at the polls and protesting the recent execution of Troy Davis, a Georgia man convicted of killing an off-duty police officer. Davis maintained his innocence until his death and attracted thousands of supporters worldwide even though courts repeatedly ruled there wasn't enough evidence to exonerate him.

What a joke you give them free food free housing pay their bills free education a college degree and now they want you to find them a job. The free ride kills the human spirit.
So let me get this straight. They attack capitalism then demand access to jobs????
Sorry guys but it just doesn't work that way.
Lets get this straight , what they want is more GOVERMENT jobs so they can become members of illiegal goverment unions so they can never be fired and do nothing,and dont forget that we got to pay for it.
These people can be given easier access but the jobs themselves are already taken. What's the point?
I'll tell you. This is being driven by the Dem party and managed by the Unions. The objective is simply to stir them up enough that more turn out to vote (for Dems). Look closely as some of these protests and you will notice well dressed demonstrators carrying signs bearing the CWA union identification.
Let's party MAN!
