First Occupier Declares Intention To Run For Congress, Will Be Running On Democratic Ticket…
Communist Party, Democratic Party, what’s the difference?
(Politico) — Nathan Kleinman, a 29-year-old member of the Occupy Philadelphia movement, intends to run for congress in Pennsylvania’s 13th district against Democratic incumbent Allyson Schwartz.
“The petition gathering period starts today and lasts for three weeks, so I plan to file by then,” Kleinman told me over the phone today. “I’ll be running in the Democratic primary.”
Kleinman, who refers to himself as a human rights activist and organizer, served as an aide to Joe Sestak’s unsuccessful 2010 Senate campaign before becoming a legislative assistant to Pennsylvania State Representative Josh Shapiro.
More recently, he has been a member of the Occupy Philadelphia movement, participating in a number of associated working groups, including “Free University,” “Outreach Working Group,” “Process Working Group,” “Camp Liberty,” and “The Committee of Correspondence,” through which he became involved with InterOccupy.org, which he describes as “a central hub for communications” in the national Occupy movement.
Now, he plans to campaign for the House of Representatives, which would make him the first member of the Occupy movement to seek a seat in Congress.
“After a GREAT meeting tonight in Jenkintown, I’m excited to say: I’m running for Congress!!” Kleinman wrote on his Facebook page last night. He later joined Facebook’s “Occupy US Congress” group.

“Communist Party, Democratic Party, what’s the difference?”
Sadly, this is no longer a rhetorical question.
human rights activist and organizer.
Is that above or below a community organizer??
This is the very last person who should “serve” in government.
Such a fine jobe resume and qualifications. His parents must be so proud. NOT!
Stealing votes from the Dimocrats.
Saying your running for Congress and actually running for Congress are two completely different things. He obviously won’t have any help from the (D)rats, and more than likely won’t even get the signatures required. Like everything else associated with the occutards, this too will be a major failure.
Run Run Run!
Will your moms basement be your party’s campaign HQ?
He needs to hire Alvin Greene from SC as a consultant.
“Committee of Correspondence”…[LOVE the way this idiot tries to hide his connections] = Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism. Tied to Frances Fox Piven, Carl Davidson, Cornel West, et. al.
Hey, Pennsylvania: It is SAFER to promote your current Democrat poser, Allyson Schwartz than this radical……
Must be one of Sore-ass’s paid 5th columnists, otherwise where does he get the money from? Specially after Sore-ass has just “predicted” riots, if obamlamalinglong doesn’t get re-elected. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financialcrisis/9036889/George-Soros-predicts-class-war-and-riots.html
Well it’s time for a new Nader.
Of course he a Democrat, did you think anything but the very far left would tolerate the stupidity and lack of common sense? I am sure the Corruptocrats will rally around him and embrace him (while holding their breaths).
The puppetmaster of the DNC (Mr. Soros) is already writing a check.
@ Xavier:
I believe this clearly demonstrates that we are at a nadir.
The Dems/Progs want to keep digging.
IIRC, the Democrats have been distancing themselves from OWS as of late.
Good luck getting any support from theDNC.
I wonder what form the inevitable OWS tantrum will take?
Occupy Democrat campaign HQ?
This moron from the Occupy Wall St. movement got the support from Obama and Pelosi in the beginning. It will be very interesting to see if they will support this liberal or Food Stamp Party member in his campaign for Congress or will Pelosi and Obama throw this nutcase under the bus like they with with everyone else that is “hot” but shares their same ideology!
And running with the demacRAT party the same way Black Panther Bobby Rush did and the jerk will probibly be wearing that stupid mask as well
“Good luck getting any support from theDNC.”
Exactly what I was thinking… The OWS movement is a JOKE!!!
To the loser in the background, your future has already been sold, yours and your children if we are unfortunate and you have some.
Isn’t is odd though, the country that has stood for freedom has in a few short years with racist in the white house has enslaved more people than the entire world has.
He has done so with the approval of the house and senate.
Pennsylvania ?? I was hoping to get Cynthia McKinney back.
Let them run on the DEMONcrat party ticket and i hope they get trounched
Another Philly product. Living here is so depressing…
Will he take off the mask to campaign or is he too ashamed of what he is?
Cool. When elected, he can hang out with Sen. Ned Lamont.
Oh, wait. My bad.
What the fck is around that idiot’s head? Seems like it would give him a headache.
