Two parties, Democrats and Republicans; same racist agenda.

Notice: This is not a Republican initiated piece of legislation; this comes from the Minnesota Democrats with a super majority.

Anyone not reading this proposed legislation does so at their own risk:

I wonder which lobbyists are behind this little "gem?"

Perhaps Occupy Wall Street and Idle No More should consider a joint action to occupy the Minnesota State Legislature?

Is some kind of "Summit" bringing together people of color, women and the handicapped along with all those for fairness and justice in order?

Here is the description of this legislation:

Bill Name: SF1417
Requiring the commissioner of transportation (DOT) to submit a waiver request to
the United States department of transportation, federal highway administration,
from the requirements of the federal disadvantaged business enterprise
program.

1.2relating to transportation; requiring a waiver request concerning the federal
