“Open invitation to all Zombie Banks to feast on the remains of the Middle Class”

After previously canceling a public appearance at the University of Pennsylvania because he was unwilling to face public criticism over his destructive votes on economic and social policy, U.S. Congressman Eric Cantor is now scheduled to speak at the Ford School of Policy on Monday, October 31st at 1:00 PM.

The Washtenaw County Community Action Team and Occupy Ann Arbor invite you to join us in a protest at Congressman Eric Cantor’s speech on campus to make visible the targets of his attacks on the social safety net and middle class and working families.

The Protest will have a Halloween theme, and will involve a theatrical “Funeral for the Middle Class” to highlight Eric Cantor’s continued attacks on our social safety net and the middle class.  Please come, and please come in a spooky costume.  Eric Cantor’s vision for our nation is SCARY!!!!!!

We will meet at 12:30 PM Monday October 31, at the Michigan League, 911 N. University Street, Ann Arbor.
