What a real grassroots rally should sound like

The Cincinnati media hyped the phony Tea Party for weeks before it happened. But I just now found out about what appears to me to be a real grassroots event that's supposed to take place 3 days from now - which the media has completely swept under the rug.

It's called Take Back the Economy. This fine event is supported by labor and other grassroots organizations, and has amassed strong support by various individuals.

Judging by the website, Take Back the Economy is what a real grassroots event should sound like. The event supports worker choice and health care reform.

It happens this Thursday, March 19. It will take place in various cities nationwide outside the offices of banks and other corporations.

The Cincinnati event is slated to be outside the U.S. Bank office at 425 Walnut Street from 11 AM to 1 PM. And as long as we're on the public right of way, guess what? It's legal. It's called free speech, you know.

I wish I had known about this before, but like I said, the local media has completely ignored it. So I don't know If I can make plans to be there. Thanks a heap, media.

Because of the lack of media coverage, you can't expect 150,000 people to show up. But surely, some will.

And there may be a Take Back the Economy rally in your city too. Check here for details:
