Here comes the weekend before the election! How many are doing one of these...
in the final days (pick the one you're doing the most of, as I'll try to be driving, but I'm definitely waving on the corner for 2-3 days in a rather red county)
Get it now, or one of a million other designs! http://www.zazzle.com/gop_keeping_millions_out_of_work_to_put_obama_out_bumper_sticker-128168268305863328?rf=238107662556833486

Workers at Bain-owned Sensata plant to walk out in response to management threats (more at link)
http://rockrivertimes.com/2012/10/25/workers-at-bain-owned-sensata-plant-to-walk-out-in-response-to-management-threats/
FREEPORT, Ill. Workers facing outsourcing at the Sensata Technologies plant in Freeport, Ill., plan to walk off the job at 6 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 25, in protest of what they termed repeated threats against and harassment of employees by Sensata management.
The walkout comes on the heels of 14 arrests during a march on the plant yesterday, Oct. 24, during which the Rev. Jesse Jackson and three workers were arrested.
The 14 arrests Oct. 24 bring to 23 the total number of arrests since workers began protesting the outsourcing of their jobs.
Workers also filed two unfair labor practice charges against the company with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Oct. 24 for cracking down on protected concerted activity and threatening to close the plant early if workers continued to protest.
