I’m thinking SEIU may need to hire itself a new communications consulting firm. Am I the only one confused by this messaging conflict?
To protest Illinois state budget cuts, thousands (which in lefty stats must mean 10, as in ten people) took to the steps of Illinois’ state capitol building, demanding the Governor shut down the state house. They chanted, “Shut it Down Now. Shut it Down Now”.
Then, at the same protest, they marched and chanted outside, “Save Our State. Save Our Schools.”
I don’t know which it is they’d like the Governor to do – shut down the state, or save it?
