The United States may see its first widespread general strike in
decades as hundreds of thousands across the U.S. are organizing
a strike on May 1st. Another round of massive demos for
immigrants is scheduled for many cities. School walkouts are
being organized. A general strike is being organized among
dockworkers and truckers around the country.
Infoshop News has learned that major retailers such as Wal-Mart
are scrambling to move goods around in an effort to minimize
disruption caused by the strike.

The Illinois General Assembly is about to rock the nation.
Members of state legislatures are normally not considered as
having the ability to decide issues with a massive impact to the
nation as a whole. Representative Karen A. Yarbrough of
Illinois' 7th District is about to shatter that perception
forever. Representative Yarbrough stumbled on a little known and
never utlitized rule of the US House of Representatives, Section
603 of Jefferson's Manual of the Rules of the United States
House of Representatives, which allows federal impeachment
proceedings to be initiated by joint resolution of a state
legislature. From there, Illinois House Joint Resolution 125
(hereafter to be referred to as HJR0125) was born.
