Lauren Cnare "this is about more than being mean to renters, its about ruining neighborhoods"!

Weekend and Monday’s Capitol Events
Monday is the anniversary of when Dr. Martin Luther King got shot, so the unions are pulling out the stops and wanting to get everyone to the capitol in a Memphis to Madison rally. Here's the events they are promoting. And some others I think are of interest.
