''All over the country, marriage equality activists, union members and progressives clearly see the hypocrisy in President Clinton's appearance at the Manchester Hyatt. President Clinton's spokespeople said themselves that he would not have spoken at the Manchester Hyatt if he was invited by its owner, yet are going ahead with the speech. I think that's wrong, and evidently so do more than 25,000 other Americans. Does he really need the money that badly?''
