Paid Family Leave- " IT'S ALIVE!"

by: firstamend07

Thu Dec 06, 2007 at 06:39:06 AM EST



For months State Senator Sweeney has stood virtually alone in his effort to get the Paid Family Leave Bill passed before the end of this year. Now with only a week to go before the Bill can be " buried" , like the Phoenix rising, the complacent supporters of the Bill have decided to give the Bill life.

The Labor Unions have finally awakened and are now asking their membership to act. Pro Family Leave Bill organizations are now scrambling to make Speaker Joe Roberts putthe Bill up for a vote.

I salute Jon Shure and his 10 lb. bologna stunt yesterday!

The contributors to this site have made their voices heard.

The Bill now has a chance.

But only with continued pressure.

Even activists fall  into the trap of " let someone else do it" .  Many wanted the Paid Family Leave Bill to pass but most deducted that " someone else" will do the work.

The " monster" that is the Progressive Citizen has been awakened! As the good doctor screamed, " IT'S ALIVE!"
