A group of Wisconsin activists delivered urine sample cups to Republican lawmakers on Monday over a plan to drug test welfare recipients.
WMTV followed members of the Wisconsin National Organization for Women (NOW) on Monday as they headed to the Wisconsin State Capitol wearing medical gloves and scrubs, where they delivered a labeled urine cup to the office of every Republican lawmaker.
Wisconsin NOW President Dayna Long said that elected officials needed to understand that drug testing welfare recipients would cause more problems that it would solve.
First of all, its a violation to the right to privacy, she explained. Federal court of appeals has already ruled that its a violation of the Fourth Amendment.
This isnt about saving the state money or removing people from welfare, this is about vilifying people who are receiving public assistance, Long added.

Question is, will this attempt to shame repukes in WI work, or are those rethugs too far gone even to feel shame?
