NYC WELFARE RECIPIENTS TOSS WAFFLES ON HILLARY CLINTON'S LAWN

Activists Demand That Senator Stop "Waffling on Welfare" Washington, D.C. - About 200 low-income leaders, including 100 from New York City, gathered on Sen. Hillary Clinton's lawn today to express their dissatisfaction with her recent decision to sign onto the punitive Carper-Bayh welfare reform reauthorization bill.

"We're here because Hillary lied to us," says Rosa Rodriguez, a member of Families United for Racial and Economic Equality (FUREE), one of the NYC-based groups who traveled here today. "She told us she wouldn't support increasing work requirements, but now she's signed on to the Carper-Bayh bill. I'm disappointed in her. She's supposed to be representing us."

It is nice to see that she is getting slammed from both sides as the result of her latest incarnation as a "centrist."
