« “Speak Out Rally for the People” Held at the White House | Attack on Pearl Harbor Remembered at Baltimore Ceremony » |
from: William Hughes
On Thursday afternoon, Dec. 3, 2009, advocates for social justice held a “Speak Out” rally in front of the White House. They are demanding that the federal government bail out the people and not the Wall Street banks. The bail out of the “Banksters” may have exceeded $12.8 trillion.
