The national call for a May 1 “Great American Boycott of 2006: No Shopping, No School, No Work” to demand full rights for immigrant workers and their families is gathering momentum. This call, initiated by the March 25th Coalition Against HR4437—a grassroots coalition that grew out of the Los Angeles action that brought hundreds of thousands of immigrant workers into the streets last month—has likened the May action to the Montgomery, Ala., bus boycott of 1955. Organizers want to exercise both political and economic power on that day........"
.............."In Los Angeles, taxi drivers have vowed to shut down LAX airport and trogueros (truck drivers) will be closing the harbor. Demonstrations are being planned in both major and smaller cities throughout the country, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Chicago and New York. Wherever possible, students and workers are planning both individual and group action....."
............"In New York City, the Million Worker March Movement and the Troops Out Now Coalition, which were planning a May 1 rally and march from Union Square, voted to support the immigrant rights movement and the “Great American Boycott” action. The coalitions had held a march and rally last year to revive May Day and were actively making plans to march again this year. Chris Silvera, secretary treasurer of Teamsters Local 808 and president of the National Teamsters Black Caucus, proclaimed, “We support and embrace this movement.” His union local is hosting the May 1 Great American Boycott 2006 Coalition, which is composed of the many immigrant communities of New York City including Latin@, Filipin@, South Asian, African, and Caribbean communities.Nationally organizers are making plans to politically and legally support any worker or student who is retaliated against for their participation in activities."

“Great American Boycott of 2006: No Shopping, No School, No Work”

It's a celebration of sorts for the socialist marxist group of militants, in fact there are more heading this way and than some plus they may up the ante and start celebrating today, they have their best friend on their side he said so in Irvine CA today.

So I will be able to find my favorite Mexican food that day?
THAT was funny
So would people who cross the picket lines be 'Americans just doing jobs that illegals won't do'??
May 1: Pinko de Mayo
May 2: National Fire a Mexican Day
"May 2: National Fire a Mexican Day"
LOL!
The "G" man said it this morning on his radio show. I nearly spewed my drink across the dash.
Just interchange Irish and Mexican.
If the Teamsters honor these picket lines, I hope it starts them on the same fall as the AFL-CIO.
These are Threats of riots to force our weak politicians to cave in to their illegal demands.
1. Be here is Illegaly
2. Using fake SSN's is a felony and identity theft.
3. Filling out INS forms with fake SSN and names is also a Felony.
these "workers" are nothing but a gang of millions of felons. Not any patty cake poor mexican.
Our elected officials, county sheriffs, and police departments must have plans to keep the insurgents from disrupting our country. Has anyone made any contact to a sheriff or police headquarters to find our what they are?
If they don't have plans, we need to know if any politicians have told them to let the disruptions occur.
Not to worry. I plan on shopping till I drop on May 1st.
Well my boycott will be in November when I don't vote for ANYONE in favor of letting the lawbreakers stay here......no matter what they call it!
