Turning from iffy Democratic messaging to a pretty good stunt:

The group Working Washington is going to create a soup line outside of Republican Congressman Dave Reichert's Mercer Island officer next Thursday, and the draw is... free soup!

With the Great Recession looking more and more like the Great Depression, we are forming a Depression-style unemployment line Thursday, Aug. 18 at Rep. Reichert’s office on Mercer Island.

We’ve had enough of Rep. Reichert’s support of Wall Street and the very rich at the expense of the rest of us. He’s our Congressman and his job is to stand up for us. Let's tell him we need good jobs now.

FREE SOUP will be served! Please join us!
