Hijackson's Loses NYSE Sponsorship

[Sunshipper]

Peter Flaherty, President of the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC), a conservative legal watchdog group, *sees the withdrawal of the NYSE sponsorship of Jackson's Wall Street Project as a "significant" development. "This reported cut-off of funding is significant because once an institution has been successfully shaken down by Jackson, it has proved difficult to escape him in future years," he added.

The change of venue for Jackson's fundraising gala also represents a "dramatic step," Flaherty said, and puts corporations previously pressured to support Jackson's organization "on the spot."

Poor Jackass - we may have to take up a collection for him so he can pay child support! http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/barf.gif
Am going to try to get a hold of the NLPC - a couple of the companies listed, I own stock in. Have them put my name on any stockholder's suit they are trying to file.
The Rev must be feeling the pinch - he's been on the radio a couple of times, advocating a strike of casino workers in No. Ind. - about a half dozen places - for a better contract. He's calling for a walkout on 1-17 - MLK's holiday.
It'd be nice if &quot;the Donald&quot; came down on him with both feet!
