Indiana Protests Continue

This should get more media coverage.



Labor unions continue to rally each day at Ind. Statehouse

"INDIANAPOLIS | Four days after thousands of union workers attended one of the largest-ever Statehouse protests, union members rallied inside the Statehouse on Monday, and they plan to keep it up until House Democrats return."

The national mainstream media makes me sick. There are big protests still going on in numerous states and they never talk about it. They think that if they don't talk about it that it will just go away and everyone will stop. It's not going to happen this time. The protests are only going to grow and spread. Americans are fed up.

Yea, mainstream media is owned/controlled by these rich elites.

Today's news, the IN democrats are still in Urbana, IL and the GOP is trying to change some rules.

Where is the national coverage????

GOP:Democrats run, we'll get the job done

"Starting Monday Republicans in the Indiana General Assembly will try to salvage their agenda without the help of Democrats.

By now it's clear the Democrats are trying to kill 47 bills on the House calendar with a walkout that is in its fourth week. Those bills include the state budget proposal."

That is one of the reasons the GOP wants to get rid of NPR. Control the media and you control the people.

Thanks for posting the links. I wonder what's happening in Indiana right now. Last I heard, I thought the dem leader was going back to IN to try and work things out with the republicans, but I haven't heard a thing since. Does anyone know?

Democrats return, but will legislators meet session deadline?
