Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant teamed up with some labor unions and her activist organization, 15 Now, to buy King County Metro Transit bus advertisements publicizing the city’s new minimum-wage law.
She hoped the group’s nearly $10,000 payment would secure 32 ad spaces along the sides of buses for an entire month, starting Wednesday when the law went into effect.
But Metro rejected the design, which included Sawant’s name and title, citing a ban on bus ads with political content. Sawant is currently running for re-election, and the transit agency’s ad policy prohibits “advertising that promotes or opposes a political party, the election of any candidate or group of candidates for federal, state or local government offices, or initiatives, referendums or other ballot measures.”

Or maybe she thinks the US system is dead, because Obama is killing it.
Perhaps they should slap her name and mug on this advertising, so the people of Seattle know whom to blame when their economy tanks and most small businesses fold up shop and leave town. This stupid move by Seattle will be a positive boon for surrounding areas not covered by the law.
I detect, more and more, political plays using laws that were designed, and used for, anti-American propaganda (Indiana RFRA, f'rinstance) and DIS-allowing aforesaid anti-American propaganda
I never understood how "they" could have so much little government power and we had so little
Perhaps it was just a matter of time
I still remember the outcome of Mussolini's fascist reign, Benny and his wookie.
That woman has stirred up a lot of s#it in a very short amount of time. I hope she goes down in flames on election day.
Does the fool really think a law needs to be “publicized”??
The US system is pretty much dead, or well on the way
Oh she does, but like Lord Foul, she has no respect for it and is hoping to change it.
Deport her back to India or whatever SEA $hit hole from whence she came.
Where’s the “immigrants will save us” crowd now?
If this poser were serious about bringing justice to the poor, she would head home to India and dismantle the sickening Caste system which still segregates humans into ridiculous tiers with the bottom being the Dalits who are considered nothing more then cattle.
Instead she luxuriates in one of America’s most benign cities by screeching platitudes thought up by Eastern European gangsters called Bolsheviks.
Not only is she a fraud, but she’s a copycat fraud without an thought in her mind except “get more money and power by duping the rubes”.

Why should we be lauding restraint of trade? It’s their money and they want to buy advertising space. It’s not porn. What’s the problem?
Curiously, this Stalinist twit looks a bit like SC Gov. Nikki Haley.
She’s a capitalist sell out!!!
