Occupying the New Hampshire Primaries

got involved with the Occupy the New Hampshire Primaries because I could see that the Occupy protestors really wanted support from the labor unions.

Our involvement in Occupy is not an attempt to steer all this towards just us, we're trying to spread the middle class out to include everybody.

You get Newconsin. This week, the state of NH moved to abolish collective bargaining in a budget bill that is actually WORSE than in Wisconsin because this stripping of workers' rights would apply to everything, including wages.
