Do you still have a dream?

Don't let Palin and Beck Co-opt King's legacy. Glenn Beck is holding a rally with Sarah Palin and NRA leaders on the anniversary of the "I have a Dream" speech, from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial! King and his dream of justice deserve better - click here to join our 8/28 tribute to MLK and social justice. Dear Supporter, August 28th will be the 47th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s historic "I have a dream" speech. How is this occasion being marked? Glenn Beck has invited Sarah Palin and the NRA to join him at a massive rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial - the very spot where King made one of history's most powerful calls for social justice. This is not the tribute King deserves. Will you help us stand up for justice? Generations later, the courageous men and women of the civil rights movement - who put their lives on the line for social justice - remain some of the most inspiring examples of what it means to be "Driven by Faith, Not by Fear." But Glenn Beck is trying to re-write history. Despite his racially charged rhetoric about President Obama and repeated comparisons of those who seek social justice to Communists and Nazis, Glenn Beck is claiming the mantle of King for himself. [1] We can't let Beck and Palin co-opt King's legacy - will you help us stand up for social justice? Participation is simple. On August 28th, just post on Facebook and Twitter about being "Driven by Faith, Not by Fear" and what social justice and civil rights mean to you -- or take it up a notch and put a sign in your window or even at your place of worship! Our simple tribute will remind the country there is still a faith movement dedicated to realizing King's dream, and counter Beck and Palin's harsh rhetoric. Sign up today to let us know you'll join our tribute and help us counter Palin and Beck. Together, we can be a powerful and prayerful contrast to the fear and attacks coming from Beck and Palin.
