In reply to the discussion: Outraged Welfare Punishes Work and Saps Dignity From the Desperately Poor? Please Sign My Petition! [View all]daredtowork
(3,732 posts)85. Thank you!
I'm happy just to have gotten 50 signatures (that allowed the MoveOn.org petition to be formally presented to the political representatives who had been ignoring my emails). But I thought I should do "informational kicks" for a few days because this situation is invisible to people who have never actually been in it.
