Occupy the Stage



July 25: President Obama To Visit New Orleans Obama is coming to New Orleans for the 2012 National Urban League Conference, which will include a Reception For the Obama Victory Fund (OVF) at the House of Blues.

 For three and a half days the National Urban League will be presenting Occupy the Vote: Employment & Education Empower the Nation, the clarion call for all conference participants to be informed and deeply engaged in the various elements of economic empowerment.

“Please join President Obama for a reception with supporters like you in New Orleans” and well as the ticket prices ranging from 100 to 5,000 dollars. 

This is obviously not an event for the 99% despite the co-opting of the "Occupy" name. This conference is sponsored by Shell Oil.
