Guest Post from DFA — Netroots Nation Scholarship Competition Launches

Most of our regular readers know about Netroots Nation and believe it or not, that time of the year is coming up again. I've never been and I *really* want to go -- the schedule has just never quite worked. In any event, Democracy for America sponsors attendees to this conference every year by providing scholarships to progressive bloggers and activists who couldn't otherwise go.

12% of Nothing is Nothing

If you can get through this, Donviti actually makes a good point. With Union membership at 12% and the wealth of the country concentrated at the very top, the plutocratic overlords who call all the shots have the middle class arguing over a pittance. (What is one value less than a pittance? A dribble?) I know there are bigger issues involved, but from a practical perspective, even if Scott Walker backs down and allows Wisconsin unions to the right to "collective bargaining" the unions will have won the right to try and grab a handful of steam.
