6. Go get 'em. Need a day of action like that in Raleigh.

Think I'll connect this week and show them your example.

[lonestarnot]

8. One at every one of their fucking meetings until no politician would be clown enough to throw us

under the bus for them or their money!

[mmonk]

10. Amen to that.

9. Solidarity from Wisconsin

One of our First Amendment warriors was removed from the Wisconsin State Assembly Gallery and arrested for "disorderly conduct" (as many have been) for holding a sign that referenced ALEC, and she was holding up several dollar bills. The great thing was that she was pointed out by a republican legislator during the session - "Would someone remove that woman who has the ALEC sign and the money...," which gave the Dems the opportunity to respond that she obviously was there for the republicans.

OK, so we're under such an attack that we have to get our pleasure in simple ways...

Good luck with your action, and thank you for helping to educate about ALEC.

[lonestarnot]

11. hmmmf. No politician as in above, NO politician.

[999998th word]

16. Who was the legislator that did that ?

Hi Lefta,

You're right, simple ways. If it was Vos - he is the ALEC chair for Wi.

I'm hoping-as I start to gather sigs-and watching the ducks fly south, that a duck will 'take aim' on Snottys bald spot SPLAT !. Its such a great target after all. He would wear it well.

21. Watch it here! :)

Ott (R) is the one who asked for ***** to be removed.

Pocan (D) then stood up ONCE AGAIN to try to get the republicans to consider a bill to honor the First Amendment in the Assembly.

Sinicki (D) is the one who clarified that if there's someone from ALEC, they're there for the republicans, not for the Dems.

On that night, there were 18 arrests for people either holding a piece of paper, or having a camera (or facsimile thereof) in the Gallery.

I was told repeatedly to put down my 4" x 6" flag, but was not arrested for it, while people WERE arrested for holding a 3" x 5" card "like a sign."

Again, I'm sorry-can't go $$ issues-can't get a lobbyist to pay for it either. :shrug:

I do attempt to explain this to people, w/some success. A question ? How do you explain this to

others without sounding like a CT nut.This whole ALEC thing sounds so ludicrous to the average person,

at times, I feel like they are looking @ me like I have 2 heads. What works for you? :wow:

and thanks for work to educate others. .:applause: :hi:
