If there is not an all-out rebellion by LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC men AND women in Arizona

[Zalatix]

then I don't know what the fuck is wrong with humanity.

There should be general strikes, and an all-out protest going on by Monday. There should be an all-out insurrection that forces the cops to arrest them down to the last woman.

I'll be back on Monday to see whether this has happened.

What the fuck has happened to America's spine?

Edited: I'm talking about this... "Brewer Signs Legislation Permitting Employers to Interrogate Female Employees About Contraception"

Edited again: Changed the topic - men need to rebel, too.

[mazzarro]

1. What is this about?

Some details please!

[dionysus]

2. i was wondering the same thing...

[Zalatix]

3. Governor Jan Brewer of Arizona just signed a law

allowing employers to harass women over their use of contraception.

This is fucking war. Outright fascism.

4. here it is....

5. Dude, dudette, whatever, you must not live in Arizona.

There is LITERALLY an outrage per day that comes out of Jan Brewer's (Dick Cheney in drag) office or from the group of seriously corrupt group of flying monkeys in Phoenix. If we hit the streets everytime the teabags pulled another over the top stunt, all we would do is live on the streets.

Watch what happens in the special election for Gabby Giffords seat. If the teabag Kelly wins, we are truely fucked. If not, this could be almost as important as Wisconson.

[Zalatix]

7. Yup, I know, the "you're pregnant 2 weeks before you had sex" bullshit came from there, too.

At what point do women rebel? When is enough enough?

[Zorra]

19. Truth.

6. I don't know, but I can tell you

that in 2012 many educated, working, baby boomer age women in AZ are still callling themselves and each other "girls".

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. Sooner or later it will come

Question, if there is a protest, play with me, and nobody covers it, did it happen? That's part of the problem.

[Zalatix]

9. Then close the businesses down. Sit-ins, boycotts, walkouts.

The boycotts and walkouts will shut businesses down, that is hard for the media to ignore.

Fuck.. can we start doing donation drives to help women relocate out of Arizona?

We need to wage an economic war on Arizona. A big one. Who's organizing?

[Johnny Rico]

10. Good luck with that.

The boycotts and walkouts will shut businesses down,

You do realize that there isn't the slightest chance of this actually, well, happening?

[Zalatix]

12. If all the Democrat women carried out a boycott, they could wreck Arizona

It takes having a spine.

[Johnny Rico]

21. I suppose they could. They won't.

[Zalatix]

22. One has to ask... what will it take to make them take action?

[Johnny Rico]

23. Short of a revolution (which isn't about to happen), it's a moot question.

The sort of actions you're speaking of simply aren't going to occur in this country for the foreseeable future.

[Zalatix]

24. Especially when the question of "Why don't people rebel?" isn't even a big discussion HERE.

There should be a huge call to arms on the DU about Arizona now that this has happened. We've seen boycotts against Arizona for the war on "illegals"... now a war on half the population erupts and............ ???

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. While I get the anger

Tell me, did you see much reporting in the evening news of the May Day events in New York? Me neither.

I agree, people need to act, but unless alternate media and social media covers any of this, it did not happen.

For all I know this is already going on.

Remember WI...a lot of the early was posted here, and people laughed.

[Zalatix]

14. What about doing economic damage through boycotts and walkouts?

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. If they are not reported

They will be lost in the noise of statistics.

Why anything that happens needs to go on Facebook, twitter, du what have you.

In an economy the size of the us you need to point to the cause, or mark my words, it will be lost.

[zappaman]

17. 'did you see much reporting in the evening news of the May Day events in New York? Me neither."

Actually yes, I did.
I bow to your journalistic knowledge, but on this one, you may be mistaken.

So, I guess it happened?

[Lionessa]

11. I arrived just as the news of some of this was coming about...

I've been amazed at how many people say, "REALLY?? That's stupid." And then, . . . . . nothing. No one seems the least upset. The womens' groups seem to organize a day late and a dollar short, as in they protested on 4/28 regarding the doctors lying to women about their health bill well after it was passed. One lady involved, or attempting to get her group involved with the originating group (of the protest) was seemingly not being allowed to join or something, I know she was a tad frustrated that the originating group wasn't seeming to want to allow existing women's groups to help too much, I guess afraid of being co-opted.

Anyway, seems no one really cares. Just amazing to me.

[Zalatix]

15. Wow, that's just depressing. The Tea Party sure isn't that disorganized.

[Lionessa]

20. It's kinda weird. It's like back in 2000, in Idaho, you could ask

about things and every topic they would have views similar to Gore and the Dems, and then they'd say, but I don't need my taxes raised so I vote Republican." They can't hear anything else it seems. I guess it's the under 50K repub mindset. They just can't wrap their heads around how they are being used.
