Where “Grassroots” Can Earn You $100.00/Hour

by

There’s an ad on Craigslist for professional political workers. (the entire ad is on the jump).

Grassroots solutions, which claims to be a national field organization that is all about helping coordinate grassroots political efforts, is hiring people to help Planned Parenthood of Northern New England do door to door canvassing in the Concord and Manchester Area to promote pro-abortion candidates (women’s health)…that would be Democrats.  You get $100/hour plus gas allowance.

I have a lot of questions.  Like how can it be grassroots if you pay $100.00 per hour?  Or, how is it that Planned Parenthood of Northern New England can afford to run this canvassing campaign but can’t run their business model without my tax dollars?

Did you know that Grassroots Solutions is associated with Change.org, and probably the new iterations of ACORN?  Their ‘Digital partner’ is EchoDitto, a progressive-only group that specializes in Community Organizing?  It actually says that on their web site.  Community Organizing.  That’s also know as manufacturing a crisis for progressives to use to their political advantage.

Community organizing.  $100.00 per hour.  Planned Parenthood.  Yeah, the ad says Professional political workers, but all the legs on the stool are spinning themselves like they are grass-roots groups.  I….don’t think so.
