A crowd of liberal groups called, One Nation Working Together, plan to march in Washington Saturday on the National mall in front of the Lincoln Memorial in hopes of "transforming the national conversation so it focuses less on the Tea Party" (Greenhouse pg. 1). These liberal groups include the N.A.A.C.P., the A.F.L.-C.I.O, and the National gay and Lesbian Task Force. Their goal is to provide a message of unity to promote jobs, justice, diversity, and education. Some believe that there should be little less attention focused on the Tea Party and also a different voice representing middle-class America that the Tea Party does not represent. Sponsors feel that this rally is geared more toward holding Democrats and Republicans accountable for not doing more to fix the nation's problems. The platform for this rally is to highlight and bring focus to problems such as unemployment, immigration, education, and jobs. These groups plan on speaking out and demanding change concerning the issues stated.
