When the abuse of power is an overwhelming stench, collective repulsion is an appropriate reaction.

and I'm watching these with teary eyes. What a beautiful thing these depict! A genuine IN-YOUR-FACE confrontation to the steamroller of injustice and repression that threatens every corner of this nation. Shades of the Wisconsin capitol building - to which I sent quite a few pizzas BTW.

Just ask yourself: WHEN is the last time your local, state and federal reps ASKED you how you wanted them to vote on something? They'll tell us ANYTHING to get elected - then it's party line all the way. Yes, I understand the challenge of hearing 360 million voices, but SUPPOSEDLY, that's why we elect "smart" people - only to frind out they're really not smart - just self-serving. Such a drubbing "norm" makes folks like Wendy, Warren and Grayson just that much more of a breath of fresh air!

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
