Yesterday I spent most of the day trying to catch up.  Although I still have the runs, they are not as severe.  I am current with replies, although I answered most collectively, rather than individually.  Tomorrow I have errands to run.<\/font><\/p>\n

From MoveOn<\/a>: <\/font>How You Know The Republicans Are In Trouble, By Bill Maher<\/p>\n

They must be in HUGE trouble!<\/font><\/p>\n

From Information Week<\/a>: <\/font>The Obama administration Thursday announced its proposal for a Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights, and called on Congress to pass legislation that will allow the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general to enforce the framework. <\/p>\n

The Internet-focused bill of rights<\/a> would provide consumers with a say in how their personal information gets collected and used online, require businesses to be transparent about their related data usage practices, and also compel businesses to appropriately secure people’s personal data. <\/p>\n

I would like more, but this is both good and needed.  Count on Republican obstruction.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Raw Story<\/a>: <\/font>A Wisconsin state representative who supported the state\u2019s voter ID law is now be accused of voter fraud himself. <\/p>\n

A YouTube video<\/a> titled \u201cProof Of Voter Fraud In The Wisconsin State Assembly\u201d shows Republican state Rep. Joel Kleefisch getting out of his chair to electronically cast a vote for a member who was away from the Assembly floor. <\/p>\n

Wisconsin state Assembly rule 76<\/a> clearly says that \u201c[o]nly the members present in the assembly chamber may vote.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Republican lie about dead voters in SC is now thoroughly debunked.<\/font><\/p>\n
