On October 2nd, the NAACP and national labor unions will give tens of thousands of people free bus rides, free lunches, free T-shirts and free Metro fare cards as inducements to attend the One Nation Working Together rally being organized by a coalition of radical leftist organizations at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has promised to give free bus rides from major metropolitan areas within twelve hours of D.C. The United Steelworkers are also busing in demonstrators from across the Northeast. Even the Screen Actors Guild is ‘getting on the bus.’
Local NAACP chapters on the East coast are also offering free buses, as are the Communication Workers of America.
Rally co-sponsor the AFL-CIO states, “Unions are sponsoring some 1,400 buses from around the country to come to the march.”
At an average of an estimated 50 passengers per bus, that comes to about 70,000 attendees getting free rides to the rally.
To be sure, not everyone is getting a free ride, as other groups are charging for bus transportation. But the vast number of free rides being offered bespeaks a financial give-a-way by the unions and the NAACP in the millions of dollars.
On September 21st, the SEIU website published this statement about the free bus rides:

On Oct. 2nd, 2010, thousands of Americans are gathering on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to march for jobs, justice, and education. SEIU is a major co-sponsor of this movement and your participation is key to making the event a success. We’ll provide the buses to and from the event in most metropolitan areas within 12 hours of Washington, D.C. All you have to do is join us and make your voice heard for the kind of change we voted for in 2008.

Using your criteria of agreeing with the Tea Party (you never specified to what degree so I'll assume 100%) then I guess in your world I'm a socialist!
Make your day did I?

As compared to the current POTUS who is a christian, or is it a muslim, or is he the messiah, or inman, or communicates directly with his god via blackberry.
At least all future challengers will be willing to show their past lives, with their dreams and failures to all. Unlike barry who has hidden his. ( everything is under court ordered seals, hmmmmm )

Harry Reid isn't the President either. Plus Nevada ranks fourth of states with the most Mormon pop. 7.41 %
Sounds like a snooze fest, but they did get lucky with the weather. It's an absolutely beautiful day.
I might go check out John Stewart's rally at the end of the month if it's another nice day.

The AFL-CIO (who astroturfed the hell out of this event) just Tweeted this pic showing the minuscule attendance which was supposed to rival Glenn Beck’s rally.
Note the absence of people along the sides of the pool. Here’s what that same area looked like during Beck’s rally from a similar viewpoint.
Update II: The Stalinist ANSWER Coalition is there (who’s also a sponsor of the event)
Update III: Just watched a bit of it on C-Span, looks like a few more have trickled in (don’t forget they chartered 2,000 buses to astroturf the event), still nowhere near the size of the Restoring Honor rally.

Figures: Eco-Hypocrites Leave DC Trashed After “One Nation” Rally…
I guess “One Nation” is an improvement over what the Moonbats left behind after Obama’s inauguration…
