Monday, May 11. Karl Rove is going to be in town handing off right-wing talking points to the Missouri Chamber of Commerce about the proposed Employee Free Choice Act. The Act would make it easier for workers to decide if they want a union and better protect them from management intimidation, so naturally Rove hates the idea. Fortunately, Missouri Jobs with Justice and other groups will be outside sharing the real facts about the Employee Free Choice Act and asking, "We shouldn't have believed Rove on weapons of mass destruction, why would we listen to him now about our country's economic future?" The rally in opposition to Rove starts at 3:45 at 7701 Forsyth and you can get the details here.
