Pink Parasols ,Moving Over AIPAC

AIPAC is one of my least favorite groups in the whole world....ask me and I'll gladly give you at least 100 reasons they should be outlawed. I am justified in wanting to see them disappear....which will never happen. AIPAC stands for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee What does it do? Lobby our lawmakers on behalf of Israel. That's only the tip of the iceberg!! More about that later.

This week end in Washington there will be a new group in town MOA. It's no accident MOA will be there at the same time AIPAC is having their yearly conference. MOA stands for Move Over AIPAC. It's the brainchild of Code Pink and other sensible organizations.

Code Pink was created by women who think beyond the status quo and outside the box as they support causes they believe in...and they "act" in the most creative ways imaginable. Their "uniform" is pink...hot pink...very hot pink. It includes, but is not limited to: pink dresses, skirts, blouses, shoes, hats, gloves, flowers, parasols....the parasols are my favorite. What a feminine group of women....all decked out in frilly pink.

I was introduced to Code Pink in Washington DC years sgo while participating in a march in opposition to the US invading Iraq. They certainly were noticeable....most people in the march were wearing rather ho-hum, drab, boring attire. Then along comes a group of women all decked out in hot pink....strong women wearing strong pink .....energetic and oh my gosh...they were having fun. Waving signs, chanting cool chants not the usual boring ones, doing little dance routines with their parasols waving in the air. They even unrolled a giant banner from windows in a large building.

Watch for Code Pink....they'll be in Washington this week end and should be on the national news. That is unless AIPAC pressures our free, un-biased news media to ignore thrm. (which they are very likely to do

    I'm really interested in knowing the 100 reasons you think AIPAC should be outlawed. Can you prove they are they breaking any laws? How about other lobbying groups--should they be outlawed? Or is it only Jews you think should be denied the right of free speech?
