CONSISTENCY = CREDIBILITY = PROOF OF ABSENCE OF FRAUDULENT INTENT: Putting "The Color Of Change" (and all of their Black Progressive-Fundamentalist Joint Venture Partners) On Trial On Their Commitment To FIGHT Against Any Politician That Seeks Budget Cuts 'On The Back Of The Least Of These' Students"
Use Case:
The Governor Of The State Of California plans drastic budget cuts for public schools in order to close a massive - $15,000,000,000 hole in the state budget.
Needless to say this budget hole and the resulting cuts are going to hurt "school children of color" who now make up the majority of the students in public schools in the (once) great state of California.

Reference Model
There are a select few organizations that promote themselves as "social justice" organizations - defending the rights of students, refusing to allow "budgets to be balanced on the backs of the least of these.
They are not ideologues or partisans - they say.
They see a bludgeon in motion and they will use their strength of "Internet activism" to fight for JUSTICE for "the vulnerable masses".
History
Approximately 2 years ago admit the "Bush Recession" the Obama Administration was dolling out millions of dollars in the "Debt Stimulating" Stimulus Package.
The Governor of the state of California at the time was several hundred millions dollars short in the state budget and was going to do layoffs of several hundred school teachers around the state. He originally declined the federal stimulus dollars that were mandated to go into the state educational system unless the Obama Administration allowed the state a waiver on the funds, allowing them to pay down some state debt as they sought to sure up the balance sheet.

- A Previous Appeal By The "Within The Black Community Blog" For "The Color Of Change" To Protest Against The Educational Spending Cuts In New York - Or For Them To Indicate WHY They Are Not Protesting When Far More Children Are At Risk As Compared To SC
To Be Clear -
If you notice when there are governors that have certain characteristics which Color Of Change and Rachel Maddow, et al, believe can be used as the basis for a DEFENSIVE STANCE on behalf of students and their unionized teachers by fighting against an enemy who's TOES they don't mind stepping on - they are first out of the chutes with their coordinated attacks.
Yet this year's California spending cuts join last year's spending cuts in CA in which these protests are never linked together as the basis of a national progressive revolution - as we the case with Wisconsin, Ohio and Indiana. I assure you that not a soul on "WAOK AM - Atlanta" has mentioned any threat that "Governor Brown" represents to Black people - as was the new talking point heard after "The Tea Party Militias" had died down after the 2010 elections.
Again - to see proof that various progressive groups are MARCHING this coming weekend to protect education is merely a "check list item" to claim that they stood their ground.
These same unions promoted Governor Brown into office and they, most assuredly are planning NOTHING to weaken him and his party as they stand in the interests of THE CHILDREN - above any other loyalties that they have.
I challenge "The Color Of Change" and all others to show TRANSPARENCY in their agenda rather than fraud.
Ask yourselves - why the fiscal situation in California is at the point of such crisis - without arguing that "Prop 13" - the public policy that prevents the rampant increase in property taxes as a means of sending money into Sacramento. Some of the answers that you come up with might force you to put your own theories on trial for inspection.
