If your unemployment benefits are about to run out and you face eviction, here is a modest suggestion:
Get a few blankets and a pillow and then go camp out in the offices of your local Republican congressman or senator. If your local congressional delegation are all Democrats, then find out where the state or local offices are of your state Republican party and go camp there. Hang around the lunch room and when people are eating, start asking them: "Hey, you gonna finish that?"
Or show up and tell them that you are there to work and ask them to show you to a desk.
6.2 million workers have been unemployed longer than 26 weeks. The unemployment rate is well over 10%, when you factor in those people who have been so beaten down that they have stopped looking for a job.
And the answer of the Republicans is: "Fuck you, we only care about preserving tax cuts for the rich."
I cannot begin to tell you in how much contempt I hold the Republican party.
And what's President Obama's solution? He promises to engage in "more outreach" to the GOP.
I believe in reaching out to the GOP, as long as one is holding a weighted club with which to beat them into a pool of offal.

Here, all the government buildings are secured access. To enter the building, you must stand in line. Only a few people are allowed into the building at any given time. Upon entering the building, you go through the same security screening as at an airline -- you must provide photo ID, all your belongings are passed through an X-ray machine, you go through the metal detector or nude-stripdown machine, and you may be patted down. Employee-only areas such as the break room are secured behind access control doors that are activated by employee badges, and attempts to enter those areas without an employee badge result in security being called and you being arrested for trespassing.
In other words, they're prepared and ready to deal with your suggesting. And if all of this suggests that we have a government that, like the Soviet government, has lost the support of the majority of its populace and cowers in fear of them... congratulations for being observant!

What BadTux said. I read this a.m. that unemployment offices are contracting larger numbers of security guards just in case.
