Employee Free Choice Act Community-Labor Townhall TODAY!

[I'm extremely late in posting this and I've been blogging sporadically because sometimes real flesh and blood life intrudes on pixels on the screen life and for the last five weeks I've been going after work each day to visit my mom in the hospital and then going to my bubba's to check in on her and then coming home to give my recently diagnosed diabetic cat an insulin shot. That's when I'm not dealing with my basement backing up twice with shit and, tonight, a plumbing emergency at my bubba's. Other than that, life's a bowl of cherries. Well, it would be if those let's-screw-the-working-class assholes weren't telling lies about the Employee Free Choice Act and that's why this rally is important and I wish I could have posted this earlier.]
