'Government Doesn't Suck' march planned

Amid growing dissatisfaction with federal employees, a group of younger, web-savvy feds are planning to march on Saturday in defense of their coworkers on the sidelines of Jon Stewart's "Rally to Restore Sanity."

Organizers of the "Government Doesn't Suck March" (their choice of words, not ours) were inspired in part by last week's Washington Post poll that revealed widespread negative perceptions of federal workers.

"We hear it day in and day out: the government sucks, federal employees are lazy and their positions are redundant," said march organizer Steve Ressler, founder of GovLoop, a social networking Web site for public servants.

Figures they are redefining the 'problem'. It was never the Joe/Jane-fed-worker bee that was a problem - it's the congress, the supreme court, the entire executive branch, and the military... then on to the contractors and NGO's. THEY suck.
