There's a lot of laws regarding employer/employee but a lot of people still do not want to speak up about their rights and what is the law at work for fear of being reprimanded and/or fired. People get fired for shit all the time that employers shouldn't fire people for and they say it's something else for the reason. This is what some Occupy protestors are trying to change with this law on voting, so it's not directed around or by work and they have the freedom to vote when they want to at their leisure and at peace.

Until people stop living in fear and allowing others to dictate their rights we will have problems. I for one am not opposed to stepping right up into any of my bosses faces and telling them they are breaking the law, and I will have their butts in a sling if they tried to stop me or fire me. Sometimes we have to be our own mouth piece.

Oh the weekend thing on voting, which of you has tried to get a bus on a weekend? And who isn't working weekends these days? Not every one has a 9-5 with weekends off. I never did.

Goodbye habius corpus, goodbye my vote for Obama.

Damn....

"Unnerving many conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats, the legislation also would deny suspected terrorists, even U.S. citizens seized within the nation's borders, the right to trial and subject them to indefinite detention. House Republican leaders had to tamp down a small revolt among some rank-and-file who sought to delay a vote on the bill."

I love this woman's spirit and what she is doing to fight the new round of voter suppression laws.
