The Other 98 Percent
Revision as of 13:12, 20 June 2010 by Woozle (talk | contribs) (moved The Other 98% to The Other 98 Percent: short URL not happy with percent character)
About
The Other 98% "is a grassroots network of concerned citizens fed up with the status quo in Washington", according to their web site.
Ownership
Ownership of the organization and web site is unclear, as the site does not name the individuals or organization responsible for it. The following bits of information seem relevant, but do not point to a clear conclusion:
- domain: Their domain name (other98.com) is registered in the name of one Andrew Boyd of New York City -- presumably the same Andrew Boyd who created Billionaires for Bush in 2004.
- protest: A protest for which The Other 98% takes credit ("The Other 98% Shuts Down K Street") and which prominently featured "The Other 98%" banners, was described in Mother Jones as having been organized by Service Employees International Union.
