Stuff is getting overlooked.
Please...post your state in the subject line and let everyone add what they know.
I just read this prescient post and it sent shivers down my spine:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=606489&mesg_id=607456 Similar actions taken simultaneously by Republican state governments around the country point to nothing less than a conspiracy.
What we are witnessing is the beginning of a coup d'etat in the United States.
With a few variations, their actions are a reprise of Germany in 1933.
The attack on labor is designed to eliminate the Democratic Party as a force in American politics so as to turn America into a one-party state led by a right wing cabal consisting of a wealthy corporate elite loosely involved with a fundamentalist theocratic oligarchy.
What the right wing coup leaders envision is a fascist state with the draconian powers of the Inquisition.
It is ironic that the right wing in this country is forever demonizing Muslims by claiming that they all want to impose Sharia law on America at the same time that the right wing is stripping Americans of their constitutional rights and implementing measures designed to destroy the middle class.
