Yet another reason to get rid of Grassley ...
I don't know how many of you are fans of Rachel Maddow - my family and I are big time fans. Did any of you catch the segment last night about a customs bill that eases restrictions against importing goods made with slave, child or convict labor? Link here:

It's almost seven minutes long, but worth it, IMO.

Well, I was investigating this a little further, and came across this from Open Left:

Business groups are worried by the potential effects of provisions banning the import of all goods made with convict labor, forced labor, or forced or indentured child labor that were included in a customs bill sponsored by Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT) and Ranking Member Charles Grassley (R-IA)...

My thought was to look up the bill number and more info and write a LTTE.

1. when you write that LTTE send it as far around the state as you can!
As many of the bigger papers and local paper as is possible.
Share your knowledge.
