A friend left a copy of the "Rolling Stone" mag., on my porch. I sat and read
Matt Taibbi's article. I found a previous thread here about the article.

I went out and purchased 5 more magazines. I will leave them on other people's porches.

Maybe 6 degrees of separation will take place.

Maybe someone will leave a copy on the porch of the White House.

One can only hope and pray.

Maybe some TV journalist with courage will feature Matt and his story.

One can only hope and pray.

I am only one person. I will do all that I can to inform people about this complicated and majorly important story.

Maybe you will too.

:hi:

2. Congress is holding a hearing THIS week! Ohio's Marcy Kaptur sits on the committee.
I will email the article to Sen. Brown, Sen. Voinovich, LaTourette, Ryan, Kucinich, and any other rep I can think of.

I will do an internet "fly-over-and-drop".

4. Is this story too old to grab interest? Maybe everyone but me has read this already.
Maybe I missed the bus and am late.

5. A bit.

:hug: HOWEVER, keeping it up there and actually DOING SOMETHING IRL helps the ripple effect! It's gonna take awhile for the import of what Matt wrote to filter through American trans-fat-clogged brains. REPETITION. REPETITION. REPETITION.
