I find it sad that we are not the United STATES of America... [View all]

folks in other states have no idea who we are and what we go thru....the last 2 days in WI were our last hope. We are thoroughly fucked now...the 3 bills (287 pages) had everything in them from courts to roads to pre existing conditions and healthcare to gerrymandering....

I myself know NC and MI and SC are in bad shape and I don't expect others to know what we live...now for almost a decade. When we did Walker's recall, Obama said he would put boots on the ground and march with us..but when it came time, he stayed FAR away from us..he had his reasons..and we only got a bit of national $$ towards the end. We have never been a match for the Kochs..

When you come down to it, we are not United at all...we are just a bunch of states...and today it makes Wisconsin Jody cry....
