One Nation Rally

One Nation Rally – Every action has a reaction to a movement, and the reaction to the ‘Tea Party’ has shown it’s head in the form of the ‘One Nation’ movement. Held on Saturday at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, the NAACP President Ben Jealous spoke about the ‘One Nation’ movement in regards to it’s relationship to the tea party, saying we’re not “the alternative to the Tea Party, we’re the antidote to the Tea Party.”


Jealous spoke about including the ‘Tea Party’ members to the rally, despite their differing view points and possible disagreements. Jealous doesn’t agree with some of the racist of extremist views of some of it’s members, and takes issue with them. Jealous claims that the ‘One Nation’ movement would prefer to see jobs for 99% of Americans rather than tax cuts for 1% of Americans. He wants the ‘One Nation’ movement to bring about a change in America, to give it’s people a better education, and more opportunities for economic growth.

There were slogans flying all over the place, from the normal to the fiery. Those on show contained the slogans: “The Left is What’s Right,” “Stop Racism Now,” We March for Hope Not Hate,” “Proud to be a Democrat,” “Stand with Obama,” “Silence GOP Lies,”"No Cuts to Social Security” and “Axis of Ignorance – Tea Party, Republicans, Fox News.”
