| − | '''Rally to Restore Sanity''' is another attempt by liberals to counter the influence of [[Glenn Beck]] and the [[Tea Party Movement]]. The rally, scheduled for October 30th in Washington D.C., is organized by [[liberal]] comedians [[Jon Stewart]] and [[Stephen Colbert]]. The rally name is similar to Glenn Beck's highly successful [[Restoring Honor]] event. While Beck's rally was a serious gathering of citizens that are concerned about our country, the Stewart rally is to mock [[American]]s who support [[conservatism]], to joke, laugh and have good times just days before the [[Democrat]]s power and influence gets crushed at the polls on [[2010 Midterm Elections | November 2nd]]. Many of the left's supporters of the socialist [[One Nation]] rally plan to attend. The difference maybe that the people likely in attendance will be young students that make up the television audience of the comedians and not so much a union presence. Domestic terrorist [[Bill Ayers]] endorses the rally. <ref>[http://www.aim.org/aim-column/terrorist-ayers-endorses-stewartcolbert-rallies/ Terrorist Ayers Endorses Stewart/Colbert Rallies, Accuracy in media, October 26, 2010]</ref>[[Barack Hussein Obama]] has endorsed the rally. | + | '''Rally to Restore Sanity''' is another attempt by liberals to counter the influence of [[Glenn Beck]] and the [[Tea Party Movement]].

One of those groups attending is Students For Sensible Drug Policy. <ref>[http://ssdp.org/events/rally-to-restore-drug-policy-sanity SSDP.org]</ref> The group pushes the legalization of [[marijuana]].
