However...these numbers don't seem to translate the emotional toll the acutal cuts are taking on people... Look at this you tube of Tamara Grigsby... http://www.democraticunderground.com/10174350

Some people need to see the numbers on paper (or posterboard!) in order for it to process in their brains. I like the idea of a sign, maybe with a handout, too.

And speaking of Tamara, everyone keep sending positive thoughts her way. She is an incredible fighter and we need her back!

"Walker seems to find it necessary to throw away $1.3 Billion in federal money that would have supported programs for health care, job training, family services, child support, education and transportation and put the burden on the same people he wants to make it harder for them to vote."http://scottwalkerwatch.com/2011/12/28/as-2012-approaches-working-class-public-employees-will-face-severe-hardships-thanks-to-walkers-act-10-budget-cuts/

when i run into a walker supporter
who says things are wonderful

i offer that walker policies are fucking each and everyone
in my family.

when challenged i offer that in my immediated family i have 4 generations from
my mother to my grandchild.
Walkers policies fuck each and everyone one of them.
Then i offer to cite chapter and verse how each one will enjoy a lower standard of living due
to that bastard.

this is not about stuff that does not matter
this is about defending my family
