7. There have been

a couple of mass protests so far. I think the largest was a little over 3000 in the pouring rain a couple of weeks back. I gave myself a pretty nasty cold going to that one.

9. If not for DU

I wouldn't even know this went on in Ten. Makes me so proud of our youth in this country. Why can't more of the old crowd get this? First time I heard the Fight Back chant..I like it!!!

We have been asking the same question, where is our youth. The answer is we are both there and fighting for workers rights.

14. thanks for posting that....

I am so impressed and so happy that people are getting out into the streets. Please keep posting news of the protests in the future. It is imperitive since we do not get media coverage

11. Count Texas in...

The HFT usually gets 3 buses for lobby day. This time we got 10. I am not sure how much Dallas got but i am sure the set a record. Went to the day of outrage in Houston City Hall the next day. Nice crowd too. We were doing more networking. Grass roots are getting a foothold.
