We should swamp McCain with applications for the $50/hr. lettuce picking jobs
Where would we send them?
I am basing this on this video of McCain offering jobs last week.

I wonder once we got the job if we could form a union.

1. This is actually brilliant.
How best to implement this and get the news to catch on?

2. A great idea if you can get some media attention for it, but
that's a big "if."

3. He said... anyone here..... I wasn't there, neither were you and no fat cat repugs will pick lettuce
at any price



I can say right now that I will pay anyone in the room that I am in a billion dollars a second to breath.

6. People apply for jobs they hear about through the grapevine
all the time.
I thought he was speaking to me in that video.
