Bill would outlaw picket lines

We already knew the 1% has been on a coordinated campaign to close down the still-growing Occupy movement, so we shouldn't be surprised they'd try to imprison workers for going on strike.

Lawmakers in the state of Georgia are considering a clearly unconstitutional bill that would criminalize picket lines. It would even ban some demonstrations against government policies. The bill was introduced by right-wing Sen. Don Balfour.

Just because the Wall Street 1% typically sits on their asses all day and refuses to do any real work is no justification for them to make criminals out of the 99%. As part of the 99%, it's time for us to wipe the shit-eating smirks off Wall Street's faces.
