NJ's WI moment

Today's protest in NJ, The Second Battle of Trenton
Looks like The Second Battle of Trenton is a hell of a protest.

The Assembly votes today on the Pen-Ben bill in which collective bargaining rights over health care are destroyed and workers are required to contribute more to the pension and health benefits.

Yup, once again unions are taking the fall for the greed, mismanagement and fraud of politicians and Wall Street.

If you live in New Jersey but can't make it to the protest, call your representative in the Assembly. Here's how, thanks to @TrentonBattle2 DON'T FORGET TO CALL 1(888)724-6474 AND TELL YOUR LEGISLATOR TO VOTE NO ON ASSEMBLY BILL 4133!! #StandUpNJ

Talking to rally goers, it's difficult to overstate the level of abandonment felt in the crowd
