So happy right now!

My crazy republican Fox Noise worshipping aunt just posted this to her face book:

Stop Paul Ryan's Attack on Railroad Workers and Railroad Retirees

http://signon.org/sign/stop-paul-ryans-attack.fb19?source=s.fb&r_by=5322460

The link is to a petition. I don't know if this means she will sit this election out, but she is now aware that these republicans will throw her and her family under the bus if they need to.

but with Republicans it really is all about "me". They can screw everybody else in the county, but Republican voters don't give a crap until it's their turn, personally. I hope she does at least sit this out.

Does she know that Obama supports the RR retirees....
My late husband worked for the railroad up here in Canada.

He had good wages and benefits..

That shows how President Obama supports them? They usually don't listen to anything I have to say, no matter how much evidence I have to support it. But maybe they will listen to this.
