2. That's super. I hadn't heard of this website until tonight. I'll kick in more
as I can. It feels good to help, doesn't it?

3. Happy to - but what about OH and other states that are getting fucked?
Mississippi wanting to "do away" with child labor laws.

Sorry, I was listening to Randi Rhodes on the way home from work and I'm horrified of what the Republican Majorities are doing in so many States!

10. I know. However, this helps the general cause. We have a big battle
here in IN too. Our 'governor' took care of destroying bargaining in 2005! Rachel was just talking about it. Hopefully, other states, will copy this advertising action of Wisconsin's. If they do and I find out about it, I'll post it.

Hadn't heard about Mississippi! That's awful.

Great picture....hope those who need to see it, see it.

16. Already did it and donated to ALL THREE (channeling Lee Mercer Jr.) --
And I DO appreciate your posting this! So thanks!

The Mississippi Repubs are using the line "the government thinks it knows better what's good for your children than you do." And, as Randi said, well, there ARE some parents who would send their kids to work instead of school, and if they're successful, they'll have no protection. Again, as Randi said, what the hell are they doing to this country? They're turning us into a third world country. It makes me sick to my stomach.

I nabbed the pic from a post of elocs who snapped it at a rally in Madison. It's something that just infuriates me - I feel betrayed by my fellow dems and liberals. I have to stop now otherwise I'll raise my blood pressure again! :7

Thanks again for posting this and I'm hopeful the other States follow suit. Of course, they may be out on the streets now and our media isn't covering it.

:yourock: :hi:

17. Welcome back!
I wish our media was covering this like the progressive radio and some on progressive TV. Maybe more people would realize it's NOT isolated to Wisconsin.

:hi:

14. They're making ads appealing to the people of WI about what
their governor is doing. You can see one on the linked website. Lawrence thanked the spokesman....this website was brought up at the end of their conversation.
