The Verizon Strike diary on the rec list and Laura Clawson's diary on the same topic are getting lots of comments asking how to help.

(For the record, I am a unionized Verizon employee in Florida. We are still under contract and we are not on strike.)

As of Midnight last evening, 45,000 Verizon Telephone workers are on strike.

This strike is a BFD. Even as the company is raking in record earnings, Verizon workers are fighting a proposed decimation of their compensation and benefits package. The company is negotiating like a bunch of tea baggers - they are not budging from their original unreasonable demands.

Ouch.

Floirida, a state in which Democrats outnumber Republicans by 800,000 or so, now has a grand total of 6 Democratic House members. 6. Out of 25. We lost heroes like Alan Grayson and replaced them with these guys.

The last time a Democrat represented Florida District 12 was in the 1980's, but Polk County Supervisor of Elections Lori Edwards, running for Adam Putnam's open seat, is in a great position to flip a red seat to blue.

Republicans are in panic mode.

"Hi, this is Newt Gingrich...Florida Democrats have created a fake Tea political party to split our conservative vote and keep (House Speaker) Nancy Pelosi in power.

"The liberals' fake Tea Party candidate for your district is Randy Wilkinson.

"Don't be fooled by Wilkinson's Tea Party label. Wilkinson is connected to liberal Congressman Allan Grayson's Tea political party."
